My 67 Camaro complete restoration 100% by yours truely. Painted in offset to original color. Built late June 67. I have owned it since 92 Resoration finished in spring 98. ( well never will be totally finished but was finally driven )
Put 314 HP on pavement 101* day right out of resto no tuning. 1/4 mile trap speeds were 108 blazing the tires in 1st 2nd and 10' of 3rd. I have to get back to track this was the year untill I was bit by the LS1 bug. Well there is always next year.

first gen and 4th gen, the best... My 1968 SS has the 350, M21 4 speed, 12 bolt 4.56 rearend, and i just ordered a full suspension, braking, and sterring upgrade from Detroit Speed. It'll take me a little while to put it all together, but i'll keep you posted...
The fourth gen is a daily driver, so not too many mods, and an automatic...

I have a 67 camaro that is in the process of being turned into a drag car. Its got a 358 small block. I have a 292 cam w/ almost 1100 degres of total lift [intake and exhaust]. i have 305 heads w/ the biggest stainless steel valves on the market for 305 heads. i have a 350 turbo w/ all new race clutches. now i am in the process of putting a drum to disk brake kit on the front. man has that been fun. after i get done w/ that i get to tear down the rear end.
My mom has a 69 X11 SS camaro. it has a 350 w/ the double hump heads on it. it has a smaller cam than i do but still has a lil rumble in it. has the old rodchester carb, sucks bad. she has a 350 turbo that runs to a 12 bolt w/ 2.73 gears. has an ok paint job. she got screwed over by the guy cause she had healt problems when the car got painted. its a good 10 feet away paint job. i ran it at beech bend and it ran a 14.6 at 93 mph. not bad for a tired 350 w/ 2.73 gears and old rodchester carb.

I have a 67 camaro that used to be streetable when I was in high school, and now its getting less streetable. When I first got it, it had a the original 327 in it and it ran 9.70's in the 1/8. Now it has a mild 355 with 1 stage and runs 9.50's in the 1/4. I have had my camaro since before I turned 16 and I'm 21 now, im goin to be buried in it when I die.

i've got a '69 camaro RS/SS "clone" with a 350/4-speed. it's probably good for 15's in the 1/4 mile, but my dad and i just bought a 98 z-28 with just front-end damage for 3,500. it's hugger orange with white hockey stripes, 17" cragar ss's, and black houndstooth interior. my dad and i have replaced every single body panel, and restored it to the best of our ability for the last 4 years. i love it, and i won't get rid of it unless it's absolutely required.

Just got one I just got a 69 camaro from my grandfather for christmas this year. He just had a stroke and he can't complete it so he gave it to me. It has a 350 all the interior most of the exterior.It mainly just needs to be put together because all of the parts are there. I am only 19 years old so I will probably be on this forum a lot looking for help.

I am a new proud owner of a 69 (that will become a Z28). She's got a LOT of work to be done (I'll post pics when I'm not at work), but I've been in love with this car since I was 10 years old.

Mine is a 68 with a 327 and a powerslide, numbers matching motor trany and rear end, its matador red, origanal color but its newer paint. headers, 600 holley, flowmasters...its a work in progress..slow progress. It was my fathers first car when he bought it from someone in 1973, and in 1999 we started taking it apart to clean it up and put some life back in it. Its good to see how many people from everywhere are taking the time to make sure cars like ours never truly die. chevy might not be making the camaro anymore, but that won't stop us from making our own.
