Hate the hood design but love everything else about it. That dual snorkel look bugs me even on the cars it looks right on."Some people find it easier to be conceited rather than correct."

That is my favorite Camaro body-style of all-time. That and the '68, which were virtually identical. Although I prefer the '69 grille more.
I would prefer Cragar S/S mags to whatever those are. And please replace all of the original factory chrome.
As far as the car being lowered like that? It makes me want to be physically ill. -

Some of that era's Trans-Am (the cars that are the reason for the "Pony car" genre if you will) were as low if not lower. The pony cars were the road race cars of their day and when built for war had to handle better and lower center of gravity vastly improves upon stock handling."Some people find it easier to be conceited rather than correct."

That may well be, but I still think it would look better with the front raised 2 inches and the back raised 4 inches from where it is now. I would go into more detail, but I would probably get banned for racism. -

At least you know your limitations. That is the first step to redemption. -
I think the word you're thinking of is "limits". And as far as redemption goes, that's just silly nonsense.At least you know your limitations. That is the first step to redemption.

Love it, beautiful job.Political Correctness'.........defined
"A doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a t-u-r-d by the clean end."

Almost looks like a Dave Kindig design. I'd drive it too!

Sorry guys. 1969 Camaro all the way.
67 and 68 were just practice runs for Chevy."The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbour to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg." --Thomas Jefferson -
69 for me! Me and my old girlfreind back in 86 in her pretty rare 69 Z11 Pace Car. -

Love it!!

Since I can’t have a 69, it’s why I have this.. can’t believe it’s been 7 years already, only has 27k miles on it..
-
Yeah Larry.... but do UBuyGAS?......
Also I never saw the interior.... I'd expect we'd see "Larrys Rings" in all the stock speaker locations to ensure a snug fit

I like the top one, Larry.
I can't maximize it, but it looks like a '69 S/S with a 396. -
Yearly event in Michigan. Woodward Dream Cruise. 3rd week in August.
In 2016 GM celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Camaro. Very first Camaro ever built ...

L O V E D THIS Camaro when I was a kid after seeing this movie for the first time in '85:

I owned this Camaro:
If I had the ca$h to get whatever I wanted, (in Camaro guise that is) I'd get the new ZL1 1LE:
https://youtu.be/W-Ji10MU22o
I agree with the driver in that the major limiting factor of a car like that is the driver and that people should have to take special courses if they want to own and operate any of the modern "supercars" as, in the wrong hands, they can be deadly.Audio: Polk S15 * Polk S35 * Polk S10 * SVS SB-1000 Pro

I've owned several Camaro's over the years. This one was my favorite, bought new in '79 (I was 19). Not much HP stock by todays standards but like vintage speakers she responded well to "mods". Got me a serious amount of *** as well, lol...
-
I had a '67 in 1985. When I left for the Army, I asked my step dad to drain the engine. He didnt and the block cracked. Told them to just sell it. They sold it to two guys from Georgia who said they were going to race it and replace the engine anyway. Two months later I get a letter from the Macon County Sheriff Dept stating that my car was used in an armed robbery. They didnt remove the plates before they sold it!

I had an '80 Z28. Had a built 406 with 2 stage NOS kit backed by a heavily built TH400. 10 second car on small tires. I sold it the week before I left for basic training because I didn't trust my little brother to not kill himself in it while I was gone (He had already wrapped a tubbed 82 Malibu with a 502 and a blower around a telephone pole racing earlier that year).

I had one similar to this (close in color without the racing stripes) in high school. Loved the car and had a blast with it. I wish I would of kept it._____________________________________________________________________________________________

Ahhh, 70 1/2! Is that why there is a full front bumper instead of the split? Interesting.
