My 69 Camaro as a daily driver

[69MyWay]

For this last month and beyond.

I racked up 7,500 miles on our new Silverado in 3 months - and decided to lay off it for a bit. It gets 14-16 mpg (crew cab 1500 2x4).

So, I dusted off the Camaro and have been running the roads with it. It gets 14-16 mpg in Town on the SLP Stage III LS1 and auto trans - but it does cost more because it runs high test fuel.

None the less - it has been a real joy to just run it. I take my 3 year old son to daycare and the backseat and carpet show it. Thanks to the Vintage Air, climate control is no problem.

Issues so far....the stupid posi clutch is terrible and it makes slow sharp turns like a solid one piece axle in the rear. Looking into a fluid change on that soon. Also - the driver seat is terrible uncomfortable. Looking for some late model GM buckets to put in there. Also - would like to upgrade the belts soon to three point.

Other than that - it has been a blast.

Anybody else doing the daily driver thing?
