The Graduate - 69 Camaro

[MCMLXIX]

After I graduated high school, my dad went out and found a 1969 Camaro and surprised me with it. It started life as a plane Jane 307 / Powerglide car with column shift, but did have AC. Back in 1998 I had an Art Rasmussen / Wayne Due sub frame and C4 rear waiting to go in. The problem was I was broke, paying of school loans and couldn't finish the project.... Sold the parts and kept the car....

Fast forward to today. I moved a few times and I'm now in Las Vegas and the car is still in Pennsylvania. I just got back from a trip where I pulled the car out and cleaned up 16 years of mouse houses and dust. I have two plans so far...

Plan A: Have my dads local mechanic get the car running with the original 307 and a Saginaw 4speed I picked up while I was there, the drive it home next summer.
Plan B: New wheels and tires on the neglected enclosed trailer and have the mechanic service the bearings and rewire the lights so it can be brought back to me here in Vegas.



Here are some pics of the car after 16 years in hibernation....
