Damn, sounds nice. Curious, about when does that 70GT spool up?
Printable View
I'll let you know as soon as it hits the road...We are still in the build phase. Hopefully the motor and the chassis work will be done by next spring. ;) its on an .85 housing. I may go down to a 63...or spray a 100 shot to spool it...It all depends on how it works.

Picked up a 62' Impala a week ago. It's in pretty good shape for a car 44 years old. Will get pics up soon.
Got a big old land yacht, 67 Buick Electra 225… power leather seats, door locks, tilt wheel , cruise, am/fm power antenna, a/c..My dad bought it new in late 1966 right off the rolling parking lot in Austin Texas Bitch was he traded a 64 impala convertible for it……Dad had it set up to pull a travel trailer, (limited slip, variable rate springs, tranny cooler), was a hell of a party car could fit 8 people in the damm thing, and have a 4 some in the back seat… Folks drove it until 73, then we put it into the high school auto shop…we tore it apart, used it as a class project car, did everything sneaked a little isky cam in it when the old man wasn’t looking, …then we gave it to my dads folks in 1974 for there 50th anniversary. My grandma was a little un forgiving on the old tank, caught the wall of the drive thru at the bank a few times, they passed away in 93, so it got passed to me…has 153,000 original miles, looks like hell, but it’ll scare the hell out of most people at the stop light, the old buick 430 switch pitch turbo 400 will shread tires if you don’t back off the gas…likes the gas station thou….it went thru a hail storm once and I laughed my ass off, hail bounced off it and beat the hell out of a little Ford 4 door sitting next to it….real steel….it’ll sit for a month or so and I’ll hop in it and it’ll fire right up…
LOL, good memories there. Those deuce-n-a-quarters would roll. Funny about grandma scraping the wall, those boats are WIDE. My grandma would tear up the brakes on the '71 Impala she last drove before she passed. She learned to dive using a clutch (not very many autos back in them days), and never broke the habit of using one, so she would use the brake pedal as a clutch and end up power-braking everywhere she went. She'd go through brakes every 10Kmi, and would peel-out in dad's gravel driveway all the time.

Wow, a lot of Poncho power on this site, other BOPs too! It's also nice to see people starting to do later 70's cars, up to 72 is nice if you can afford them but prices are out of controll. Guys just looking for fun hobbie stuff are priced out of the early market. I just picked up a 78 Z28 (free! no motor) to make a cruse nite/ weekend warrior out of. There's stuff out there, but act fast!

here are my cars, from left to right, 1966 GTO HDTP-with a lemans hood, had a fan come loose and go through the original hood, it has a 474. Center-2006 GTO is stock but now has a few mods. Right-1966 GTO convert. when I bought it the front bumper was tweaked, so it now has a Lemans front bumper, and I haven't got all the turn signal lights in the grill ordered yet, but it has a 400 +.030 and has a mild build with 3.23s, it's my cruiser.
here they are, didn't work the first time.

Heres my 1985 Monte Carlo SS... Its one of the last few cars i, myself, would consider "classic muscle." It has come a long way since this picture but it was the only one i have at the moment. It went from the original 305/200r4 to a GM crate 350/200r4 but is now undergoing a vortech blown 355/holley superram/FAST XFI/700r4/9 inch. I have also sanded and painted the underside white and had all brackets/mounts powdercoated gloss black. just finished stripping and painting the firewall while the engine/trans was out... its just sitting right now awaiting the new engine combo!

The car was in excellent shape when we got it in April of '99. It had rear quarters & paint 16 years prior to our buying it, but the previous owner only drove it about 800 miles since having it redone.
I have since rebuilt the motor, ( 350 + .040, 10.5 to 1 Speed-Pros, Comp Cams XE 284, 700 DP, the GM intake last winter, Hooker headers, & MSD ignition,) Muncie M-21 w Hurst SuperShifter, and I found a 12 bolt diff to carry the 4.10 gears.
Late summer of 2004, the car got rear-ended, and spent the next year in the bodyshop. That's when the steel cowl hood and Cragars went on. The 21 year old lacquer paint job was replaced with the BC/CC it now has.
Last winter I decided to clean up the underside, and started removing the rest of the undercoating from the floorpans back. (I had already cleaned the front end off & painted the subframe a few years ago. While cleaning things up, the paint started coming off the subframe, so now it's powdercoated, along with all of the suspension components (Vette Brakes kit on the front) and traction bars & SFCs. All new stainless brake & fuel lines & hardware were added.
The only plans I have for this winter include getting the back seat recovered to match the 4th gen front seats, and install the new Sony CD/MP3 player I got for Christmas.
We brought the '02 home on New years Eve, so it has a younger brother to share the garage with. (It's just as much fun to drive, and a lot easier too.)
That is still a awsome car ..and looks great....Cant see likeing a 02 over a 70--73 ...but to each his own ....lol....

Seems I'm not the only 67 Camaro freak here. That's good to know. I've owned (not all at once) 6 67's, 2 68's and 2 69's since 1973. I kept the most optioned 67 (I've had it since 1986): RS/SS, L35/M40 (but not orig motor or trans, currently has a mild 454 and TH400 w/3500 stall), 12 bolt posi with 4.10 gears (it came with a 3.07 open diff). It also has: PDB (original 4-piston caliper type), PS, PW (1 of 5,000), Tilt steering wheel, Tach, Gauges, Consol, Fold down rear seat, AM/FM (not stereo though). The exterior is (K-K code) Emerald Turquoise with (797 code) Parchment/black interior. I also have a set of original 67 head rest bucket seats that I will use when I redo the interior. Car is curently in Cali undergoing body and paint work.
When I originally purchased the car I gutted (and saved) the interior and put a 427 BBC in it with the current trans. Swapped in the 4.10 gears and posi in the 12 bolt. Engine was 12.5:1 comp with a .625" (ex & int) 280 int 320 ex cam that I picked up @ The Pomona Swap meet. It ran 11.30 @ 120+ at Terminal Island (Brotherhood Raceway) back in the day. Would have run faster but it would run out of fuel in the float bowls at around 6200. I never got around to putting on an electric fuel pump as a friend offered me more $$$ for the short block than I had into the entire engine.
I have a '56 Bel Air 4dr Sedan project car. Plans include LQ4/4L60E, Air Ride, shaved nose/deck/and door handles. Hopefully, I will be able to really start in ernest this coming summer and fall :) .

Heres a pic of my 65 Sport Fury. It has a long rod 383 with solid flat tappet Nitrous grind. The convertor is a 4000 Dacco with 4.10's and I'm running some 29" x 12.50" M&H RaceMasters. I also have a pair of CalTracs on it and a 3 1/2" mandrel bent exhaust we welded up out of U bends with a pair of 1 chamber FlowMasters. And yes they are the ORIGINAL 1 Chambers from 96 with the classic sound that made FlowMaster what they are today.
No rollbar!!!
No 5 point harnesses!!!
It's a street race car not for the track. Make a pass or two then get sent home for being to fast.

Wow! Hey, on the '67, black in those hood scoops!
Thanks!:D
I can't post up the pics of my cars right now b/c I'm at a computer lab.
I've got a 1998 Trans Am, a 1998 Dakota R/T with a forged motor that is procharged(not done building it though), and my father and I's 1971 Plymouth 'Cuda 340.
I've got a 69 Z28 with JL8 4 wheel disc brakes(1 of 206 made) that I'm adding a crossram setup to. That car is still being restored. I also have a 1970 Camaro SS396 with the L78 396/375 hp engine(1 of 600 made).

Jeff, love your 70! Here's mine with a long way to go plumbing & wiring the LS1. Griff
http://www.ls1.com/forums/attachment...1&d=1176501799
If that's a '70 in the pic did you change the rear spoiler for a later one? My friend's '70 Z-28 had a smaller one. Beautiful car. I bought a '71 brand new in Jan of '71, paint was classic copper,
http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b1...c/71camaro.jpg
Yeah, a previous owner added the 3 piece tall spoiler and the car was repainted black. It also had a killer black velour interior(yeah baby!) but I put the stock black/white checkered seat covers on. This car is one of the first 2300 Camaros made in 1970 so it's a real early L78. It's a blast to drive, that's for sure. The car should look more like the one in your picture except with wire wheel hubcaps!
I call my 1976 T/A 455-4sp-3:42 a classic. It came from the factory like this. I have gone thru it and restored the interior, engine, and pain. They didn't do a perfect paint job, but I will live with it.I am running my 6x-8 heads that were gone over by Racekrafters, the carb by the same. 0.030 over, and it runs goodd.
real nice
Nice tire block!!!

1964 Studebaker, 289 Study powerplant (rarity here) / powerglide - 34,000 original miles / interitor impeccable / exterior tired ... inherited from my Dad - a project for a rainy day (or days!)
