New to the forum - Kinda 69 Z28
 
I've lurked for a long time but have been encouraged multiple times to post here so here goes.

I live in Los Angeles, 28 years old and am an absolute nutcase about cars.

I currently have two classics in my stable, one that fits in and one that doesnt.

A 1961 Lincoln Continental Convertible thats bagged and outfitted with modern amenities like a stereo etc. The goal was to keep it original with the exception of the bags. Low and slow.

The other is a 1969 Z28 Camaro with a built 396, muncie and setup for runnin. I purchased the car recently from a nice fellow in Orange County and couldn't be happier. I run it hard and expect it to perform when I want it to and how I want it to. It spent the first month in the shop I was running it so hard. The car is setup Vintage Trans Am racing style but my eventual goal is a mix between tradition and performance. I drive the car far too hard not to update certain aspects. Currently its suspension and wheel/tire setup thats my focus. I'd like to track the car as much as possible.

The two together.

Goals for the camaro currently include a wheel and tire setup change. I'm looking to go with a multipiece 18" setup and some suspension mods to match the setup. The car currently sits entirely too low for the way I drive it. Then eventually some engine work or perhaps a new drivetrain completely.

Anyways thanks for havin me.

235/60/15 Goodyear Eagle #1 tires (which goodyear recently discontinued and replaced with white letter NASCAR ones :mad:)

American Racing AR-767 15x7 in the front 15x8 in the rear.

I've been eyeballing 18s from iforged, HRE, and Fikse wheels. I'm thinking a black and gold two tone scheme for the wheels.

A setup similar to this but black and gold. :yes:

Thanks man all those would be great choices and I think would really set that car off. On a side note check with Driverzinc and their wheels, They also have some in that style and have been great with info for me also.

Glad you made an intro. :thumbsup: I saw those pics of that C6ZO6 yesterday on CorvetteForum. It's a striking setup, something that on paper doesn't sound good, but once you see it, it kicks ass.

I like that camaro the way it is. I'd upgrade the brakes and suspension but keep it looking the same :thumbsup:
