Default New here, with new to me 67 Camaro

Hey guy's a little about me. I've been lurking on here a while so I figured I would register and say "Hi". I've always been into cars but mainly newer vehicles. For some reason I couldn't pull the trigger on buying an older vehicle. I always figured I could drive something new for what I was going to spend on something old. Well after years of dumping thousands of dollars into newer cars I finally did it and bought a 67 Camaro. I've always loved Camaro's, their probably one of my favorite cars of all time. Anyway some of my previous vehicles were an 03 Cobra, S2000, Evo, a few Vettes including a 750whp monster. After dumping truck loads of money into them and then getting about half of what you put into them I figured enough is enough Lol, that and im getting older too I recently sold my 02 Z06 to buy the Camaro, some people say I was crazy, but hell I sold the Vette for $25K and bought the Camaro for $15K, not to mention the Vette will keep losing value.

A little about the Camaro. It has a basic 350 with a mild build, cams, headers nothing crazy. It's a 3 speed with a 12 bolt rear, with gears I absolutely hate. At 65mph on the freeway im at like 4-4500 rpm Since I bought it, I lowered it a bit, bought some cheap 17's off a friend for now, I plan on going with some 3 piece forged wheels later. It had a nice interior already, but im more of a custom type person, I don't really consider myself a purist (I know that bother's some, lol but oh well it's my car ) so I redid the interior, or I should say it's in the process (should be done later today) I'll probably do a few other things to it later, but for now im really happy with it. It get's so much attention it's not even funny. My 02 Z was really nice and I don't think it got the attention this car gets. Anyway here are a few pix of my car/cars.

And the Camaro





Original interior (well not original but what the previous owner had in it)




The new interior



The rear seat (the back panel had not been finished in this pic, it got a blue insert as well) The flash made the blue look lighter than it is.

Default Nice First Gen to Start With

Don't sweat it making it the car you want, my first Camaro was a 67 that was harvest gold and a 283 with a power glide from the factory. By the time I was done with it, it had a 396, muncie, 4 speed, cowel induction hood and 3.73 - 12 bolt. Do it the way you want.
