New member from Minneapolis

[69hugger]

Hello all,
I am a new member, but a many year muscle car junkie. Past rides include a '69 Road Runner 440-6 Pack, '70 Cuda 440 Vert, 4 0r 5 'Vettes (last one a '08 Z06), and a '69 Camaro SS 427 I had for 17 years.
After selling the Z-06 last year (it just wasn't "all that"), my wife made the mistake of telling me I needed a new toy to go along with my retirement in January. So we headed to Barrett-Jackson & I am now the proud new owner of a black '69 Camaro built several years ago by a very prolific member of this site.
The car has much of the DSE catalog installed (from 2 visits to DSE) and a 534 BBC & T-56 6-speed.
The car needs a little TLC to bring it back to perfection (at least in my eyes), and a few minor changes for my tastes.
It was delivered in January, and since then I have been ordering new stuff, and painting & polishing some "experienced" pieces. It has been 2-1/2 months, and because of the winter-that-never-ends, I have yet to drive it. I am hoping for no major "surprises" when I do.
Overall, I think it's a kick-ass car, and am looking forward to having a bunch of fun with it. Although I am still wondering what possessed me to buy a black car (my 1st ever).
Thanks for a great place to hang out!

Welcome to the site from another Minnesotan.


Let me know if you want help or tips for taking care of the black paint.

That's all there is to it! Minnesotans are taking over!! Good to see another one that loves to spend 10 1/2 months a year in the garage to enjoy our cars 3 weeks a year!

Thank guys.
Randy, thanks for the offer. I have a brother-in-law that has a black Nova that I think can help. The paint is good right now, but I'll know more when I can actually wash it. After yesterday (8" of April snow), who knows when that will be.
Maybe we will have some nice weather by June.

As far as pics, let me see what I can do...

A few pics added to OP. The last one was delivery day. Onto a flatbed for a short ride up the driveway & rolled into the garage, where it has sat ever since.

Awesome! glad to see it back here.
I was very excited to see this car at BJ. I went up to it, looked in the window and my girl friend told me to stop drooling on it.
Beautiful car, and welcome to the site.
