The Charger now has a Small Block Baby Brother! (pics)

[MrAngry]

Hey guys -

I have had a soft spot for an early 70's split bumper Camaro for a long time. Anyway while cruising through the internet I happened to come upon one in Staten Island (I live in Queens). Exterior and Engine have just been redone and are in great shape - there is NO RUST on this car and with the 4-speed and 4:10s it downright boogie's. The interior needs a complete redo, but the owner had ALL the parts in boxes - new headliner, new dash pad, 4-speed center console, rear seats, new front spoiler, all emblems, also have all locks and doors panals - EVERYTHING - it just needs to be put back together. I have this thing ripping up the pavement in no time.

The owner wanted $8500.00... I walked away with it for $6250.00 so I think I did ok.. whattya' ya'll think?

Specs are as follows:

- 1970 Camaro z28 Clone
- 350 Small Block .040 over
- 520 lift cam / .292 duration
- Single plane intake
- 750 Demon Race carb.
- Full MSD ignition
- 4-speed M-21 Muncie
- Centerforce clutch
- 4:10 gears with 10 bolt rear
- Moser axles
- Compton Engineering 3 way adjustable shocks
- 4 wheel disc brakes

Just thought I'd share - best part is the wife can drive it and she loves the car - she'll be bangin' gears right next to me next season!

My thoughts if I had been with you: "Uh, hey dude......from the looks of the graffitti, this may not be the best place to take these photos.....let's get out of here before we get jacked. You sure that's a real pink slip? Wish I was packin."

j/k Looks like a great find.....now I want one too.

First off thanks for all the comments - ya' know I don't what I am going to do with it yet. The Charger is already set-up pro-touring style so I don't know what to do with the Camaro. The car was set up to be a straight line runner - it even has line-loc hooked up, but the owner started to turn it back into a street car - i.e. doing the 4 wheel disc conversion and so fourth. The car is not a real Z28 or Split bumper for matter, but who cares? I bought this thing to have some fun with. Either way, when I'm done with the car it will be something to look at - at least the tail lights anyway.

As for where the pics where taken - Dude, that's my backyard! I grew up in Brooklyn and live in Queens now - plus at 6'4 235lbs the neighborhood punks know to leave my stuff alone.

Lucky! :firefire:

Congrats on the purchase, Mike. Nice car!! Looks like an awesome deal, too. I love the color scheme, it's very similar to what my '68 will be when done.

Also, :lmao: at the grafitti comments. Mike, I think we need to drive through East New York and Bed. Sty. and get some pics of some neighborhoods you really don't want to break down in. ha.

[dropit69]

might wanna get them door locks in pretty quick though..or it will end up disapearing...but very good looking car for the money..steve if you got it youd just flip it again..lol

[Kenova]

$6250.00 and it matches the Charger. This kind of luck and the guy calls himself MrAngry????????? :lol:
Looks like you scored big Mike. Put the interior together and drop a TKO into it to give it some legs :drive: . If the little woman doesn't want it I'm sure you could make a dime or two on it, right Steve? :naughty:

Very Nice. Good car to start with!

[MrAngry]

Thanks guys -

I was working on it last night - I pulled the carpet out and started cleaning up the interior. I will be a lot of fun when it's done - I think for now I am going to make it more of a street racer. The 4-speed muncie really is a lot of fun, I'll putting a new exhaust on it next week as well as some new tires, probably some old skool BFGs. The interior will look like new when I'm done with it - I'll be taking before and after pics as the work progresses on it, so I'll post some more this weekend.

Also if anyone needs an extra car for a cruise day - the Camaro is available (at least it will be in 2 weeks).
