I hear they're pretty hard to come by in decent shape, mine was from michigan so it had lots of rust in the rear quarter panels, I could see the ground through the passenger floorboard and the drivers floorboard was close. I got it for 800. great story to go along with that

Mine is in the middle of a z28 de-clone-ization (i made a new word! 
)
Most of the under-hood work is done, now I'm going to do something about the interior...Corbeau seats, rollcage, new guages, new console, new everything

I have a 69' RS, that is frost green with a moss green deluxe interior. It has a 355, TH350, 9" w/4.11's, cal-tracs etc. etc. It's giving me fits presently, because I'm having some severe conveter issues, and a tranny leak. 
My dad has a 67' RS/SS 350, AC, PS, PB, 3.73posi, 4spd. ALL ORIGINAL, with full documentation. He bought it from the original owner, and they must have of not changed a thing on it, because even the alternator and starter are original. Geez! Anyway, were in the process of doing a frame off on that right now. Sorry no picks, I'm a slacker.
I'm glad to see how many 1st gen owners we have here! Good to see!

yup hugger orange white stripped 69 here. i have owned over 10 camaros before and this one is the best. got plenty of pics but it is not as nice as most of these here. it is my favoret car i ever owned and i will never get rid of it for anything. i will give it to my first born son when i die and hopefully he will never get rid of it eather. i used this car for serious street racing and it has held up for 4 years. although after i started getting bigger and bigger motors in it i started to over power the chassie. my last combo was a 468 BB with a Mr big shot that went 10.02s with serious traction problems. i raced it on the street like this serveral times and almost killed my self twice because of the the 9" tires i was useing. since i was against cutting it up and 4 linking it, i decided to retire it and start a frame up restoration. some day it will be finished.

I'm on my 3rd '69 camaro. The first two I bought as a package deal for $1500. Both were good rolling chassis with clean titles and some rust. They sat for four years, then I had to sell them in college because I decided to go for a doctor's degree and needed money. I doubled my money on them, though. Last June (six years later), I found the one I'm working on now. When I get a digital camera, I'll post pics.
Plans include an LS1/T56 combo and some serious suspension, body, and interior mods, but I'm still working out the specifics. How far I go depends on how well I learn to fabricate throughout the rebuild process, but I want this to be an all-around, real street eliminator-type of car. I just bought a welder, so let the learning curve begin!

69 Z/28 RS here, hugger orange with white stripes. You can see it in the little picture next to my name if you squint. Always thought it was fast until I got an LS1.

The first '69 Camaro we have was my brothers first car, and since then was passed on down to me. The second one is a 307 car my father just recently decided to buy. (Need pics of it, Horrible colors 
) Also own a second gen 71 thats in the process of being turned into a (Very cheap) pro touring.
I'll upload more pics tonight when I'm off work.
