My 1969 Project...

Here's my 69 Camaro SS350. Its a numbers matching car. I never wanted a #'s matching car because I thought I'd be scared to make changed to it. But I got a great deal on it and the original 4 bolt main turbofire 350 is in good shape so its goin back in it. The guy I got it from had a Carb Fire and didnt want to fool with it after that. It melted the windshield when the flames came back through the cowl hood then smoked the White Interior. I just gutted it all... Dash, Wiring... Everything. Here's a couple pics from the day I brought it home and a couple with it torn down ready to be put back together. Doin it myself so I'm taking my time.

I've got more I'll try to post later if anyones interested.

lol... this is what it looked like right before the fire...

I plan on putting it back the same with the exception of an L-88 Hood like on the Baldwin Motion cars.

Very nice. I think those 67-69 Camaros are the only cars that can successfully pull off the gold paint.

Please more!! I keep telling myself I'll have a '69 someday. I keep tossing the idea back and forth about selling my mint 02 TA WS6 to help fund the '69 but just cannot bring myself to do it......I want both!

Well, I had given up on ever owning one when I got the phone call about this one. So dont think youll never have one, they are still out there. Heres a couple of before and after pics of the engine. its a pretty good example of why the guy didnt want to take it on after the fire. It was a mess.

Beautiful car!

I imagine the previous owner was heartbroken when it burned up.

Glad to see you are committed to returning that beauty to her former glory.

Personally, I like the hood on it. The L-88 hoods are a little bit too tall for my tastes, but that's a damn fine looking car any way you slice it.
