im always looking to chop it up about first gens.....

so whats goin on with your '69 VETTEpwrdZ28??

im in the process of chopping it up to go on my buddys jig, he makes full floors...trunk panel,floor panel, firewall,frame rails, rear valance...pre assembled...all were gonna do is set my body on top and build around it...

I'll jump into some of this...
 

I'm stoked!!! Recently went to Sacramento and got the '67 I've been looking for for over 20 years. Yeah, I love the 4th Gens, but the First Gens... This one has a few gremlins to figure out, but I LOVE THIS CAR!!!

cool

Actually, a 78-79 Z28 had 175hp opposed to the 190hp on the 80-81s. That doesn't really matter though, because nearly none of them are still stock, and it's very easy to make 300+ with just a rebuild. Mine's close to 400 and it was cheap.

A 69 is definately the best-looking Camaro ever made, and the LS1 4th-gens are pretty tough too. Lots of people dont like the rubbernose Camaros like mine, but you can't beat one for cheap horsepower.



Edit: my bad, just saw you were talking about T/As. Going for a Smokey and the Bandit clone?

is cause of the baby boom during my dads generation when they got out of highschool this is what they grw up with the first generations camaros , goats , 3 for vettes, and that group of kids at that time are at mid life now and i have money to spend .........damn old people jacking the prices so we cant buy 1st gen camaros:banghead:

prices arent jacked up unless you want a already done perfect car. But what fun is that?

well when you dont have the money to rebuild yourself or the know how

I've been pricing '69 to '73 the cheap ones are going for $10,000 and need most panels replaced. I can buy a completed mustang for half that (to give example) lately I've been watching a couple of mid '70's cudas they are going for around $5000 needing work, and the sky's the limit when nice

this thread arouse from the dead

there are plenty of decent 1st gen camaros around for cheap........you just gotta be willing to put up the effort to find one

if by cheap you mean under 10k like Arch said. my dad payed around 6k for his and it was a POS!!! like literally needed so much.

this thread is endless

and from what I have seen that was a good deal I've been looking for a few years now, and have friends all over who look I can find one for $3000 that needs a frame, and all sheet metal parts (basically the vin tag, and cowl tag are salvagable the rest is junk)
