The correct revision of the erroneous sentence above is:

My first car was a 1980 Chevy Camaro, and it was the envy of all my friends.

And is a coordinating conjunction. We used it to connect two independent clauses. A comma must also be used before the coordinating conjunction. This is because two independent clauses joined by a comma and a coordinating conjunction forms a compound sentence.
