Re: Anyone happen to be a knowledgeable Camaro guy

I know a little something and I know an extremely knowledgable first generation restorer. What is the question(s)?

Me too, if it's a first-generation car; I'm one of the principals of the Camaro Research Group (www.camaros.org).

Have had a couple X-77 Z's and one X22 396 if that helps.

Have owned 2 '69 convertibles, an L36 SS/RS, and a L78 SS.

You've all answered his question.

Everybody's an expert on Camaro's. Everybody has either had one (or many) or they want one. That's why I got rid of all the ones I had.

Re: You've all answered his question.

I have had a number of Camaros thru the years. Here is my Camaro or my not Camaro.

What is that...an AMC JAVELIN? *NM*

Re: You've all answered his question.

Yes it is a 1969 and I actually drive it. Not daily but to cruise nights and on vacation to the Rockies. There may be 2-300 cars on a good cruise night but usually only one Javelin and dozens of belly button Camaros, Mustangs etc. I sold a 69 Camaro to buy the Javelin. Did some suspension mods, wheels etc. Get lots of positive comments on it. GL

Re: Anyone happen to be a knowledgeable Camaro guy

I am......... I've got a 69 that started life as a 6 cyl auto and now has an LS7 crate motor (the REAL ONE, 12:1 454) M21, 3.73's. As a "knowledgeable Camaro guy", here's an absolute fact: 69 Camaros are a lot more fun to drive with high horse big blocks and 4 speeds than with 6 cyl automatics.

"So, That's a MATADOR!?" *NM*

Re: "So, That's a MATADOR!?"

LOL yep something like that, or maybe a Rambler American station wagon.

Re: Rob, you started the thread,

I'm wondering if there is one particular book on Camaros, similar to the Noland Adams. I'm looking around for a '69 RS and want to be able to authenticate the drivetrain, body style, etc. That was the reason for my initial post.
