Are you a Camaro guy or a Trans Am lover?

that nose stripe has been quite the discussion in the restorer circles.

 

No wonder it looks familiar.....

 

It reminds me of that 80's Hot Rod magazine cover car, 2nd gen camaro, red with same color stripes flip flopping down the side.

 

The idea probably came from this one. This was actually be offered in 68, there was this version and then a more blue tone one for blue cars. There are good concept/development photos and it did get a RPO code if I recall, but then was canned last minute. So there has been speculation if any actually made it into the wild.

Are you also a member of the CRG or Yenko.net? lol

 

Umm.. Nope...

 

The L70 tri power option - Made it to the prototype phase and was almost a real deal, then cut.







Smokey Yunick ended up with some of the parts and put them on one Camaro, kind of like the Hemi 302

5 er 6 sets known to exist.....^^^^^

 

"How am I gonna get a couple more gallons of gas in there"!

 

They exist…. This is my picture, not taken from the web…

 

So this happened today….. looking for a random yard sale on the way to Lowe’s.
And the answer is yes, I did.

 

More info on the car please.....

 

What's the chances..? Interesting for sure! I see one tip off, but you never know!

 

Good on ya!
Not to sound negative but is it what it appears to be?

 

Looks low enough it may even have an engine? Spill the beans.

 

Hood is a bit overdone.

 

^Yeah, that's a bit too much! How many tachs do you need? lol

 

No bumper guards on the rear?????......

 

I fell into this at the weekend car show. First year Firebird- one owner 326, Mariner blue, bought to go on their honeymoon, about 3300 out the door, 800 dollars more than a comparable camaro. Bought in the hometown where the guy still lives, restored by a small 3 person shop. Blew my socks off…sorry my pictures are so poor, it was high noon.

 

Driver's side valve cover decal installed at the factory....

 

odd exhaust manifold on that "455"......

 

I started taking pictures at car shows in the early 80's even though I owned a 70 Z/28 and a six cylinder 67 Camaro at one time I never took pics of Camaros until the last couple years. I like them pretty stock on the outside, and no LS motors thank you. here's a few from last weekend
