      79, 80, 81 Pro Touring Camaros?

      Hey I have a 79 Camaro that my brother and I are restoring, going for a pro touring look, and I was hoping some of the late 2nd gen Camaro owners would post pictures of their pro touring cars!

      You can find a number of them in the camaro picture threads. I believe there's even a 2nd gen specific thread. Most if not all the years are represented.

      Took a look at the thread.

      @Calderone
      Yeah I can't seem to find a late 70's Pro touring camaro that I really like there are a few out there though.

      They are definitely few and far between compared to the early 70-73 cars. Firebirds from the same years are getting more attention but even then they aren't as popular as the earlier ones. Keep looking though, they are out there. Be a leader too and build your car first.

      I believe the owner's name is Mark Giles but there is a 79-81 camaro that's basically a stock car with a camaro shell on it. Tigman I think is his screen name I believe. Gorgeous car. I also think it's in one of these pictures threads already.
