Gen 2 Camaros?
 

What do you guys think about the Gen 2 Camaros, '70-'72? I'm looking at one for myself. I have been talking to Rick K. alot these past few days, he has been very helpful with what I need to look for ect. Anyone know where there are some pics of some PT enhanced Gen 2's?

I remember seeing that one in hotchkis ads etc. Looks good to me.

Thanks William, I saw that car at SEMA a few years ago, it was sweet. Here is a picture of the car I'm looking at.

cannot imagine why that car appeals to you??!! :P I've had four 70-72's, great cars. Check out http://www.nastyz28.com/forum/index.php for a great second gen forum.

I really love that split bumper second gen. If you like it, go get it. :unibrow:

Other than the white stripe it's perfect for ya ;)

Actually that's sweet. I had a 72 RS/SS .. great car. Oh, and the one in the pic has the better spoiler on it :)

Just curious.. how much that going for? (about)..

2nd gen
 

Looks like a really nice car. Nice meaty tire in rear. Whats the engine comp look like?

That 2nd Gen is just the way I like them. :thumbsup:

Really?

Specs are 406ci sb, Richmond 6spd, Wilwood 4 wheel disc, Hotchkis springs, Vintage Air/heat, power windows, Covan's Dash w/Autometer guages, 18" TT 2's 10's out back, Ceramic coated headers and 3" exhaust. Body was media blasted and painted, all new interior, all new glass & chrome. The only change to the body I would want to make is to modify the cowl hood. That is the "small" cowl hood from Goodmark. My body shop guy said he could pie cut the scoop and make it look more like the one on my '69..

I've been surprised in all the years they've done cowl style hoods for the second gens that nobody made it more like the 69 cowl hood it copied. That mod would look great.

Rick has one of the nicest second gens out there imo. I saw it on the '04 Power Tour and it was better in person than in the mags. I think they are a great platform. 70-73 Camaro is on my list to get and the only generation Camaro I have yet to own.

attached are a few more pics of my gen II project... some may have seen the other pics i posted in the "new members" area about a month ago. I'm just finishing up an update to send in with a bunch of pics on the build.

wheels/tires: front=17x8.5's with 285/40/17's
rears=17x11's with 335/35/17's

Nice car, mini-tubbed?

SW

Thanks!! Yes it's mini tubbed. The rear is narrowed 4"/side and the front is narrowed 1 1/2" /side using Fat Man tubular control arms.

I like the second gen's. Especially with all the new stuff to make them even cooler.

Flat Black Stripes
 

SW, just have your body guy flat black those stripes while he's working on the hood and you're done!

V/R,
Ty

i told sw to paint the camaro white .
rick k:thumbsup:

The black Camaro belongs to a friend of mine Georgia. Dale built a very nice car and he is a great friend to boot. His car got lots of attention at the Fall Grand Run. If you buy it you have to bring it, the 69 Camaro and the Mustang to Pigeon Forge this year.

Thanks Rick, you have been a great help and expense:D . I will give you a call later.

SW

Nice car...I say buy it!! Will DSE work there magic on it? Just think you now know what size Fikse wheels will work on it after the mini-tub!! :thumbsup:

I did work out a deal with Dale, I posted earlier but I guess that post got lost.;)

Anthony, I think I might mini tub it here locally, it will give me something to do..:D I got some other ideas also..

Hope the family is well,

I was finished but due to some damage (by others) I put it aside for a year and last year I started again....and I am taking it a bit further this time. I hope to get it done this year:_paranoid

but we'll see.....

We are also building a 70 RS "clone," which is to say that we cut up a non-RS car and put RS goodies on it. Not to try to pass it off as an RS, but rather because the front nose with the split bumpers, etc is just too sexy. The car is going in for paint this week, hoping to have it done for the Good Guys Del Mar show this year (which is extremely aggressive). I love the lines and look of these cars too, and watching the local pricing on donor cars or original ones, well, the price is going up which hurts the typical hobbyist. Still some great deals out there though, and if you need to replace sheet metal, it's available in the aftermarket and over fits pretty darned good (unlike panels of five or ten years ago).

Mini-tubed, our 3-Link rear setup, it'll also be the first (second?) car to get our front suspension goods too (stock front frame based), custom leather interior, etc. Only thing not set in stone is the color of the paint, and the exact wheel selection. I'm really excited about it, there are a good number of them out there already built, but not nearly as many as the first gen's (which I also love/have one, there are just so many of them though). If you have the means and opportunity to buy one, don't hesitiate!

This post was lost as well yesterday. I was trying to tell you buy it SW.

Here's some pics of a nice Red 2nd Gen that was on Ebay a while back. I like them with the bigger rear spoilers myself, but that's just my opinion.

Posted this yesterday, but seems to have disappeared too!?

Here's a couple of my 2nd gens.

Sweet lookin 2nd gen. I hear its the "new" first gen.:lol:

Did you get my PM? I was wondering what hood you have on the blue car.

thanks,

SW

PM sent earlier...if it didn't go through, it's a 2 1/2 cowl. Fiberglass style with functional cowl induction. I have an oval dual quad air cleaner that fits perfectly under and within the cowl.
Sorry, I don't have a good pic of the underside of the hood right now, but I can get you one. Here's the best I can do. It shows the induction and the amount of clearance the hood allows. I'll try to post better pics later.

Except for the rear spoiler it looks just like the Air Ride Camaro.. that think "tore it up" at the Pidgeon Forge auto-x event..

This could be you: lol

K&N ordered it out of the Jeg's mag

I'd love to see this car with 18" Fikse!

I am looking for a second gen right now too. I agree, the split bumper looks killer!

Great car Streetking....
 

I think the car your looking at is outstanding Streetking, mind you I'm biais about 2nd gen's (building what I consider to be a pretty serious 72 RS with with trick suspension, brakes, 5 speed tko and a 556ci all aluminum pump gas motor for Carlisle hopefully).....

P.S. Do we have a friend in common named Chris from Toronto that likes twin turbo everything lmao ?????:lol:

So did you end up pulling the trigger SW????

Nice car
 

I had a 73 Z28 same color with the big spoiler. Even new the engine bay didn't look as nice as yours Wayne
