I picked up this 69 Camaro a couple of weeks ago. Finally got a chance to clean it up some and shot a couple of pics. I've been looking for 1 in good shape for along time now. I first saw this 1 about a year and a half ago but the guy didn't want to sell it. I checked on it about every 3 or 4 months and we finally came to an agreement, I got it. Needs a little work but overall I'm very happy with it.

nice looking resto rod. you gonna keep it classic or give it the pro-touring treatment

Thank you. For right now I'm going to leave it like it is except I'm going to put headers and an exhaust system on it then drive it. My original plans were to put a 572 crate motor, built TH-400 and a built 12 bolt in it and make it a bad *** street car and I may still do something like that eventually.

that the exact samething i did when i bought my 701/2 z28.within the first month i put headers 2 1/2 custom x-pipe and some race mufflers. it had the stock exhaust on it before

Lol, already at both sites and several others. One of the guys I work with has 2 1st gens, one is a 69 pro touring car. I get suggestions all the time, lol.

Skatin, my 69 is bone stock and I mean bone stock. It's slow compared to both of my 4th gens but once I get the exhaust on it I'm going to drive it that way for a while. I'm thinking about putting an HEI distributor on it real soon also.

skatinjay27

wow no kidding its stock.even still has the points distributer. was the old owner one of those old guys thinks its no good if its not correct!

It is a different color combo. If you ever want the car to have more "attitude" it would be relatively simple to respray the stripes black and dye that vinyl top black. It would look like an entirely different car.

I was thinking about putting a dark blue vinyl top on it and leaving the strips white. Wish I had some photoshop skills I'd like to see what it would look like with the dark blue top. Right now I'm not really sure how agressive I want to get with it.

i would keep it stock, its beutyfull!

Elite_Hot_Rod

Thanks. I like the stock look too, the nose up stance and the way the wheels tuck looks nice.

They didn't have a "nose up" stance when stock. That is caused by the leaf springs sagging with time. This is why you typically find owners putting inflatable air shocks in the rear of these cars. lol

Stock stance would actually have the rear of that car sitting higher than shown. It will show as much tire as the front wheel opening is.
