Somebody STOP ME! 1969 Camaro - not sure if it's a base coupe, RS, SS, Sport Coupe, etc. I'm hoping someone here will know something about it. It had, and comes with the original, numbers matching 307, but it currently has a monster 350 in it. It's been years since I drove a car as fast as this one. All emblems are gone. I do know it's an X11 car, but that's just a trim package. Wont know about the protecto plate till I get it home and look for it. Whatever it is, it WILL BE an SS, even if just a clone. I'll post pics when I get it home.

Why? You're diggin it and why not? Congratulations! I picked up my new wheeler the same day! My excuse was snow plowing. But ... Spring time is a coming. Bring on the mud! SOON, some more than has been usual lately innocent local Rainbows are DOOMED. (We're going to need a lemon or two.) Then, ... we watch for the first sea gulls. Salmon must die. So, let us lift a glass to 29 Feb 2012! SLAINTE! Every breath is a GIFT! It's snowing ...
Why? You're diggin it and why not? Congratulations! Thank you sir! I picked up my new wheeler the same day! My excuse was snow plowing. Ahhh, the things we say to get what we want. LOL! I convinced my wife that we could fix this car up and make money when we sell it. But... I have no intentions of selling this car.
I convinced my wife that we could fix this car up and make money when we sell it. But... I have no intentions of selling this car. LOL. Yeah, I'm about in the same boat... I'll sell it, if I have to.... but I really don't want to. Nice pic. I like the 67-68 better... but the 69 looks REALLY good if it's got the RS hide-away headlights. If it were me, I'd strip her down to metal, make the body arrow-straight, and paint it a dark metallic green. Externally, it'd look like an RS/SS-396, similar to the following pic: Under the hood, I'd find a 6-liter or 8.1 liter engine out of a Suburban/Escalade, with matching auto transmission and EFI. It'd deliver pretty good power, get good fuel mileage, and run very smooth. IF you want a solid EFI engine, I'd look at the LT-1/4L60E combination that they used in the '94-96 Impala. Good power, very reliable, and (because the new "hot" ticket is the LSX platform) cheap, for a complete engine and trans.

That looks somewhat close to the rallye green that this car was originally painted. I have to admit though, I like the color you posted better. It looks deeper and darker. I like the Z28 striping better too. So many decisions! My wife wants blood red and I also have to admit, I'm leaning that way, but just not sure yet. I have startup and engine video coming shortly.
Keep in mind, she's been sitting for 15 years. Belts, hoses, tires, etc are pretty dry so I don't wanna be too hard on her just yet. Not like I was last week anyway, when I drove it for the first time. Seems to be smoking a bit too. We'll see.
