I have owned this Camaro since 1990. I started the restoration by rebuilding the suspension and converting it from drum to power drum brakes. The car came without engine or tranny but I was lucky enough to buy a "totaled" one owner '69 with a 327 engine and power glide tranny. After the install I started concentrating more on my SS 396 restoration and put this one on the back burner where it has remained since. I hope to start on it soon after I retire in June, 2008. My grandson is 11 and is showing a lot of interest in the hobby. This will give us and opportunity to spend some quality time together and teach him some work ethic at the same time. In a few years it can be his car and the start of the next generation Camaro Lover!
