I just picked it up today for $5,000. It is a LOT nicer than the 454 LT 73 Camaro I had. It has a rebuilt 355 with a 350 trans. Runs really well and drives great. It also has A/C, radio and new tires. The car doesn't have much rust, just a little bit at the bottom of the right quarter and a little bit here and there. He said the car was originally orange because you could see it in a few places plus it's the same color code that's on his other 70 Camaro. I wanted to go with black but his other Camaro looks awesome in H/O..
Plans are to lower it, 18 inch wheels, LS1/T56 swap and paint it orange.
Good deal Trey! His Orange car looks nice....anything done to it other than wheels? What's the story on the 67-8?
Not sure what else is done to it, didn't look under the hood. It is really nice inside and out but he took it to the store one day and someone kicked in the door. The 67 he just bought and has no motor or trans but the interior looks nice. The body is done and he needs to paint it. The 67 is his, the orange 70 is his wifes and the one I bought was his sons.
I can't believe some people....who would kick someone's car?
I have met plenty.. I busted out the window of a truck one time because some fags were throwing stuff at my car. I keep a rock in the cup holder because usually I get pennies and bottles thrown at me about once a month.

My car was dusty and parked overnight in a big parking lot a long time ago, I come out to my car in the morning to find shoe prints from the front of the hood all the way across my roof to my trunk and back.... no damage but still, who the hell just walks on a car??
Finally got the car back yesterday. A couple gears exploded and the fluid looked like silver spray paint with all the metal. He said the torque converter went bad throwing metal every where and destroying the pump. The car also had 6 cylinder internals and there was no way in hell it was ever rebuilt.
The car drives great now and the steering is awesome since he tightened up some of the front end components.. Maybe next week it will be painted.

I too had three different set of dirty trained prints from the hood across the T-tops and down the trunk when my car was white on a rainy night.
That was back in the '80's. Thankfully anywhere outside of USA Vintage Muscle cars are so rare most kids only ever see them on their Playstation and therefore have a loft of respect for them. Now my Porcshe is a different matter. (Those pesky Kids)..
By the way real nice car...You could try lowered springs first then the blocks if you need them. I think you'll have better performance approaching it that way..
