1969 Camaro Z28 Build LS3 w/ 6L80 Swap
So I grabbed this Z28 off of Craigslist in July 2018 for $2500 and $300 to tow it home. Gonna go as radical as my budget allows! I already have my LS3 and 6L80 trans that I had intentions to put in a 72 Chevelle that I sold after grabbing this 69 Camaro.
Plans as of July 2018:
LS3 w 6L80 trans
4 wheel disc brakes
Mini tub
20 x 8.5 Front wheels and 20 x 10 rear wheels
America Autowires complete wiring harness
Double din Navigation
2012 Camaro Full interior including dash, console, seats and door panels. I will detail what’s been done so far since I have already begun to restoration.
First stop will be GraveRobbers Sheetmetal for almost everything to be replaced or repaired!

Before I dropped off 69 to GraveRobbers I did a tear down to access my car. I quickly realized that this was gonna be expensive. Everything was rusted and seized.

As a long time Camaro enthusiast its cool that you are going to save a car that far gone. It will take lots of patience and $$$. What type of suspension upgrades do you have planned? Looks like a great start with the drivetrain.

I’m going Stock Subframe Powder Coated Red, Tubular Control Arms, Coilovers, Unisteer Rear Mount Power Steering Rack and Pinion, Right Stuff 4 wheel Disc Brake system, Multi Leaf, 12 bolt Rear end with 4:10 Gear and rear Coil Overs as well. The guys at Southern Camaro and Firebird in Lagrange, GA have been very helpful in assisting me in build ideas and parts. I plan on putting some of this stuff together as well as sending the car out to people more capable than myself. I did build out the subframe myself. By the way, Miller’s Powder Coating blasted and powdered coated my Subframe red for me for only $200.
