Well, the Camaro bug bit me again this weekend at the swap meet in Moultrie. I went up there with plans of purchasing a second gen Camaro, but everything there was junk or way over priced... Looked this 69 over numerous times thoughout the weekend. But his price was just way too high... Sunday morning I made him a offer of what I thought it was worth and we made a deal later that afternoon! Got him down 10K from what he was asking... So I drove the car home!! :woot:
Car is a California car, all original sheetmetal. Still have yet to run the numbers to verify for sure, but car appears to be as presented, a real RS/SS car! All the right things are there and from my little bit of tag knowledge it appears correct. Car was bought because it's laser straight, new interior, perfect chrome and trim! I wanted a car to bolt some parts on and run this summer at the Goodguys, RTTH and others. We'll be doing full suspension, brakes, tires and wheels, Vintage Air, Keisler 5-speed and some other little things over the next few months.
Basis of the project is to show folks that it doesn't have to be a super high end custom build to get out there and run with the big boys!! :box2:
Specs as she sits now
-12 bolt rear with 3.73 gear
-Hotchkis 2" drop leafs and shocks
-Hotchkis front and rear sway bars
-Qa1 front coliovers
-20/18" Foose wheels
-12" 2 piston wilwoods on all 4
-new deluxe houndstooth interior
-built 396 with a lot of internal goodies
-Turbo 350 trans (the first thing to go!)
Here is the only pic for now, as it's raining down here. I'll get more up as soon as it drys up...

Want thank Shafi and Jeff over at Keisler for the great service and awesome deal on a TKO600 package for the car. Can't wait to get this thing installed as all cars should have pedals

Well the car left this morning headed towards Tampa to its new owner. So unless something changes when it gets there. I'll have to start over again and find another project. This car was honestly to nice to cut up, but the new owner is doing the full DSE treatment to it. SO its still gonna be one nice car
Mr.VENGEANCE

ahhahaha.. WTF!

The kit cars fall into the wants catergory!! not something I plan to do anytime soon. We are looking for 69-73 camaros, chevelles and maybe a nova. But who knows
Mr.VENGEANCE
12-10-2009, 08:33 AM
um... you just had a 69 camaro... ahahahha

12-10-2009, 08:36 AM
we are looking for projects. Not extremly nice cars like this one was. It was just to hard for me to mini tub a car that still had the original factory primer on the underside of it

I have a 70 Nova ..but it's a 4 door . Would be a sweet sleeper car. Noone builds a 4 door cuz it's not cool. I'd be willing to sell it though.

would love to see yall build a nova, build a car that is beastly with minimal metal work
