Are you a Camaro guy or a Trans Am lover?

I've never owned either one, I did own this former Pro Stocker from the blue oval group.
A "transformer" with small block Chevy power if that counts.

 

WOW!!!!!.......

Camero here.... never cared for the fire chickens or the trash cans....

 

CAMARO!

 

The meaning of "camero" depends on the context. In Spanish, it can refer to a large, single-sized mattress, a double bed, or a person involved with beds or rentals.

Maybe dude has a thing about beds???

 

It used to slay me reading the classifieds. ''12 volt possy rear''...

 

....."and a drop axel...... probley".

 

Around '79 or so at Quaker City. Somehow I've hung on to it!

 

So, how's it lookin' like today????.....

 

Under cover, on rollers. Due for a refresh. Hasn't seen daylight in a while, life ya know....

 

Ford made it work from the late '80s into the early '90s with their 5.0L HO.... Why couldn't chevy jump in on the bandwagon with a reintroduced 302 HO motor?????....

 

well they kinda did with the 305 HO in 84. The tuned port injection came in 85. The main problem was it could never have more power than the Corvette. Then later in the third gen you could get a 350 again outside of California and most of the west coast at the time.

 

In the early '90s, GM came out with a 4300 small block which had a 3.00" stroke crank... And also the LT1 350 Vette motor... They never thought of inserting the crank in the 4..00" bore LT1 block... It took one of car magazines to do the build up and made it work...

 

Fun to watch, gets most of the details of a early 69 car correct. Kind of chuckled at when he was going over the motor on the stand and glossed over the intake and only commented on the snowflake. The 69/70 intakes are the same, so would have needed to remove the tray underneath it for the date code. First gen Z/28 intakes are different each year. The thermostat housing location moved each year. Also no cowl hoods were available until Jan of 69. He didn't check the seats either for the straight headrest. All 68 calendar year 69s built would have those. The new headrest regulations took effect in January so the headrest swap happened that year.

Also fun fact is almost no LA built cars have a broadcast sheet. They actually followed protocol and tossed them at the end of the line, lol. Way more Norwood cars had them stuffed into the car. Main difference was LA was a lower volume line.

 

This one looks very familiar .....
