1969 Camaro ZR1 Engine Swap

I thought this was pretty bad ***. ZR1 engine and brakes?! This thing handles insane. I'd paint it black and tint the windows. What do you guys think?

The Mule would leave that thing in the dust.

Camaro X would be a better suit for this car.

Yeah, thats pretty badass... best of all worlds right there.... awesome styling of the 1st gen. Fbody, all the awesome technology of today.

Always wanted to do one of them "Pro-Touring" or "Resto-Mod" type of cars...

There are only two things wrong with that car... 1. It's yellow. 2. If they wanted to get the ZR1 vibe nailed, why not transaxle it? Lingenfelter did it with his blue 68...

Found a pic...

Not sure if it's been changed since then. I've got a badass BF Goodrich poster of it in my garage. Unreal car!

I had a 69, now I'm jealous and bitter about anyone who has one.

I love my 4th gen though, it's not a giant tin can like the 69 was.
But the 69 was SOOOO EASY to work on.
