Well this is my first post in here. I have recently purchased a 67 camaro. I have always owned a muscle car, my first was a 68 Mustang Fastback. I sold it in 2000 and ever since then i have regreted it. So when i was back in the market i was shocked to find out how much muscle cars have gone up in the past couple of years. So i had to make a desision, bite the bullot and spend the money or wait another 30+ years for the baby boomers to die off so thier will be a surplus of muscle cars again. So I bought a bone stock, never been touched 67 camaro. It's a streight six with a powerslide. I has 66000 original miles on it and it appears to been off the road since the early 80s. I wanted a six cyclinder car because i plan to make this car a retro ride and i would feel guilty customizing RS, SS, Z ect. Here are some pics. I paid $3300, which seemed steep to me but compared to some of the prices out their it wasn't bad. The car seemed to be sitting for awhile with out a windshield because the floors and trunk pan are rotted. However the quarters are solid and along with the rear suspension mounting points which i am told are the real bitch. Thier is a nice crease on the right side of the car where someone hit a pole but it should pull out. Thier is also 68 fenders that someone just hung on the car and no hood. The whole car has surface rust on it but with a little sand paper it comes right off. The interior is shot with some rust on the dash. I priced out everything and it will cost me about 5k to restore the car with the parts coming from NPD.
Shortly after that i found a real deal. A 99 camaro ss LS1 motor along with the 6 speed with 18k on it. It came complete with the pedal assembly and the wireing harnes and ECU. So i plan on retro fitting it in the car along with moddern suspension, brakes ect. So here are some pics when I brought her home.
