My dad and i just picked up a 69' SS Camaro, comes almost complete. everything is there just needs some surgury. the body is pretty fukd. Quarters are rusted out as well as the WHOLE trunk floor. It does come with new quarter panels from Year One, and the other panels are super cheap. Oh, and it comes with a 408 small block chevy mated to a Muncie 4 speed via a triple plate clutch and 4.11 gears out back. dynoes a supposed 600-650 horse. will post pics up as soon as i get some.

Awesome! Detroit muscle is very cool, as well as relatively cheaper than VW. Or at least that's what I found with my Ford truck. I suppose if you get into the high perf or custom work it will cost $$.

:thumbsup: Sounds like a cool project, I love those early Camaros.
Did you see the yellow one at the Main st car show?
That car reminded me how much fun it would be to build an early Camaro, kind of patterned after the Sunoco Trans Am cars, set it up to turn as well as go...
