Noob with 68 Camaro
 
Hi, I'm 23 and my name is Mike and I'm from Southern New Hampshire. Graduated college in 07 with an associates and bachelors in Criminal Justice, if the economy was better I could actually use it. Anyways, last summer I bought a 68 Camaro (fake) RS/SS locally with the intent to keep until I'm 6 feet deep. After much debating on a 4th gen M6 SS or WS6 I took the plundge on a first gen. Originally Marina Blue/Marina Blue 327/210 car it now wears a truly repulsive shade of blueish purplely mess with a black interior (which I like).

Specs on the car as of now are as follows......

(neither me nor the previous owner built the car so we're not sure about it's internals or history, but it was certainly dragraced...most likely in NY or Michigan)

350 (could be a 383) demon 750 cfm carb, edelbrock victor jr intake, TRW flat tops, MSD ignition, headers, plumbed and ready for nitrous, patriot aluminum heads in the mail

4.10 with a coan racing th400

4 link with ladderbars

extra little lip welded on bottom of fuel tank with a Barry Grant fuel pump that has the power wires cut (no idea why)

here are a few pics....

and my most recent before storage with new wheels and tires

all I've added to the car are the wheels/tires, auto meter cobalt tach, kenwood radio and the finnish flag sticker


-future plans include an LSX based motor
-maybe a T56 or an auto with more gears that three
-GM arrival blue paint with black SS stripes (looks good on my truck!)
-totally new OER interior parts ( I like the old-school look)
-17's front 18's rear maybe torq thrust 605M's
-revamp on the front suspension along with a few inches of lowering all the way around


this will be a veeerrrryyyyyy long term project, i'm broke now and my number one priority is making the payment on the car each month, when it's paid and I land my real job we will be onto something.

Thanks! I actually have the picture of your car from the Camaro Performers feature hanging in my garage. I also take it that the "XC" in your username refers to Polaris, as does mine.....before I bought a ski-doo.:thumbsup:
