How many 1st Gen Camaro owners do we have? Anyone still own a 1st generation Camaro? Lets see some photos! My first car was a 1969 Camaro, and now 15 years later I bought another one.
My first car (restored with my Dad):
The new and improved purchase:
I guess you could say I like red '69 Camaros

I do. It's the first car I ever owned, and I still have it. I had it completely frame off restored about 5 years ago, as well as completely redid the engine, transmission, and such. It's a constant work in progress, with newer and better upgrades every winter. Great addiction to have, if you ask me(just don't ask my gf, or my wallet, either!).
If anyone can explain to me how to resize a picture, I'll post one. Thanks!

A 69 camaro was the first car I ever owned. It didnt run right half the time was so damn hot you stuck to the seats and got about 8 mpg and I wouldnt of traded it for the world. I miss that car every day but it now has a home where someone can take care of it. Ill see if I can dig a pic up.

Count me in. I have a 67 SS 350. Pics can be seen on my website. www.clemson.edu/~jaander. I got this car when I was 13 and I "finished"(although they can never be finished 
) it when I was a senior in high school. I like my 99 Z, but nothing gets the looks like a restored first gen!

I still have my first Camaro. It was a 230 inline 6, with 3 on the tree. My dad and I turned it into a nice little 11 second ride. Now, we've done some more mods. Like a million or so. Now it is a full tube chassis 25.4 certified for 7.50's with a 632 Pat Musi BBC. Engine make 1175HP w/ single carb, and 1600+ with 1 stage nitrous system. Should be making some good 7.50-7.70 passes later this year.
