my former camaro

Nice '69,I like the 67-68 camaros there's to many '69 s everywhere.

 

If u look at the rear 1/4' s on my blue '69 you'll see the side markers were above the body seam which is weird it had factory panels all around with 1 respray . It was a blue non metallic inky blue but it was purple under the street lights, my buddy said it is a Jag color.Now it's black with silver stripes, I see it all the time it's a local owner.

 

I love the red interior in the camaro. Those 68 steering wheels are hard to find without a bunch of cracks. I had to pay up for a nice one for my chevelle

 

Yes, John used to always say that the red interior with the red exterior was not a common combination. Guess
he was right. Thanks.

 

It was probably modified by another car rear ending it [you can see the gaps in the trunk in the photo]
The car was a real P.O.S that actually put me off Camaros for a very long time.

I had some luck and swapped it for a 71 Mustang Fastback [he loved Chevys and I loved Fords]

Here I'm racing it at Baypark Raceway against my friend Paul's T bucket


In NZ the Ford Mustang is a wiser choice back then [The economy was very restrictive on importing] Most components from the locally available Aussie XA Falcon could be used on them

 

This one was in our family since 1980, sold it about 12 yrs ago to build my shop. 454/400TH, 9" from Bronco with Verse disc brakes.

 

It may be that you never see one without a spoiler on the deck lid.

 

Or a cowl hood

 

That's Rallye Green..

 

Hey i removed the cowl hood and installed a GM SS hood

 

Of all the first gen cars I've had only one that was a factory D80 car with a factory cowl hood.

 

Then there's this. A non Yenko, Double COPO, L72 427, Camaro. No stripes, no spoilers, no RS, no badging, does have a cowl hood. Talk about a plain jane street rocket.

 

Here are my former Camaros, also my first two cars.

I bought the first one when I turned 16 for $1,100 off my Uncle Jack. It was a 71 RS , 307, 2-barrel, 3-speed on the floor, with a console. The photo was taken in my high school parking lot. Uncle Jack ***embled it from parts cars he kept to repair his dirt track stock car pictured below my first car.





The second was a 72 RS Z-28, 350, 4-speed, AC, power steering, power brakes, and cloth interior. I think I paid $2,500 for it. I bought it when I was 18. I should have held onto this one.

 

Mine was just like this one....

 

Now a nice one get 40k

 

That's Gorgeous!!
Love the vent windows too. That must of honked with a big block in her.its like the one Will Ferrel drove at the end of The Other Guys movie but that was a '68 no vents windows, but it sounded nasty

 

More of my former camaros

 

Here’s another( mostly) camaro i had, a rust free straight body shell i bought for $300, sold it to a buddy then we burned the garage down around it
