My Dream Car.
Well, I finally did it. I sold my SOM 2002 Camaro SS and acquired my dream car...a 1969 Camaro! The body is solid, with new interior, new suspension all around, 10-year old paint, and NO RUST. It comes with a newly rebuilt 396/402 big block, never been fired up. Also comes with 3 TH350 transmissions and all kinds of new parts like starter, water pump, radiator, electric fan, headers, 2 distributors, etc etc.

I am planning on keeping it pretty stock. I will convert all of the brakes to power disc, and possibly convert the transmission to a 4-speed manual setup. Everything else I am going to leave untouched. I might put some gunmetal Torq-Thrust wheels on there after the disc brake conversion, I don't know yet.

I do love the rally wheels on a 1st Gen Camaro, so I may leave them alone. But yeah, brakes definitely have to be done. The rest of the suspension is all new, but period-specific. I will probably leave that alone, since I won't be road-racing this car!

Thanks guys. I had spent years looking for a good deal on a 1st Gen Camaro, by searching ebay, autotrader, and other sale sites. I stumbled upon this one on craigslist, and the guy only lived 15 minutes down the road! I went and checked it out, and decided this was the one. After that I put my 02 SS up for sale and a week later it was sold.
