The RS looks really nice.  Good luck on the build. |
This SS was super clean and looked like it came off the assembly line. It was to clean. I knew there was a skeleton in her closet so I just looked and ever nut bolt and screw. The trunk floor had a crinkle in it so I looked under the car and right above the rear end you could see the bent frame. It was a bad accident. Over the phone the seller would budge $100 more dollars. He was willing to drop a couple G's when he realized I was leaving with my money. I told him the car was tainted to me like a salvaged title car. I couldn't own it.

Congrats, looks like good raw material for your build.

Hope once you get into it - it's as good as it looks. Sadly they usually aren't. Let's hope this one is!

I wanted to build a bad ass 69 camaro but just had no time and though I would save time and some money if I bought a clean camaro with newer paint so I wouldn't have to do that part of the restoration....for now.
I plan to keep only the shell and interior. The car will look the same when done but ride and handle like a super car....I hope.
Thanks for all the kind words everybody. There's a lot of locals here to which is great!
I need to post my drive train ASAP like tonight. I wont pull it until I get a deposit from someone. I will give Concord Safety Center a call in the morning. The owner there aligned my car about 2 months ago and said he would be interested in it. I just assumed he wanted it for nothing since he owned a shop.
The faster I pull the motor, the quicker I can get started. I would like to see it dont by spring.
