What's the story on the Camaro?

[Dog427435]

It's a tale of the eighties -
Got the blown up 6 cyl Camaro for free -
The Chevelle was Mickey Rats (Good Rats) sons car that he smashed on both sides, front and back - Mickey had put some $$$ into it - got pissed sold it for $300 -
We flipped the wheels, tires, motor and trans over the weekend and sold the Camaro to a guy on Edgewater Road in the South Bronx for $3500. I worked near by and saw the car occasionally there and racing at Connecting Hwy, but lost track of it over 15 years ago

Looks Corvette Bronze my favorite! Might just be red in an old faded photo?

Good story

[Dog427435]

You are right, it was Corvette Bronze - the new owner buffed it up and most of the color came back. It was a good 30/30 car.
I don't recall seeing many that color

[b]How about some real early muscle

With drivers such as Herb Thomas, Marshall Teague and the Flock brothers Hudson Hornet dominated stock car racing in the early 1950's.

The true sting of the Hornet came from the powerful 7X racing engine. Developed by Marshall Teague and Hudson engineer Vince Piggins, the big six had a bigger bore, bigger valves, relieved and polished combustion chambers, high compression head, high performance cam, split dual exhausts, and "Twin H-Power" carburetors and manifold. This combination boosted the big straight 6 up to 220 gross horsepower, a jump of 75 horses over the showroom stock figure of 145.

All the stock components made the Hornet nearly untouchable on the track, and a record setting 27 wins out of 34 starts in major stock car races in 1952 was proof!

[b] This '68 GTO sits on the outskirts of town outside of an old repair station. Everyday the owner drives it out of the shop in the morning, then back in at night before he closes. Other then that it never goes anywhere. The inspection expired in 2/89!
The paint is falling off in spots but the body looks remarkably straight and rust free except for some minor rust spots on the drivers side.
The interior shows the effects of a mechanic getting in it every night after a long days work!
I'm sure he has plans for it................someday!
(Not that I'm one to talk, a couple of the cars I've posted on this thread are in my own backyard!!)

it does look good, an eraser would spiff up that interior in no time.

I have known about this elcamino for 18 years,the story I got from the neighbor is that the car has sat five feet from his property line since the early eighties and wishes the car would move. Of course the owner has no interest in selling....




At some point the 396 badges were swaped in favor of the 427

BB 67 El C w/ air !!

is that a real knee-knocker?

[olredalert]

-----Yes! and no! on the knee-knocker. Yes, you would knock your knee on it and no it isnt a tach as 67s had the turn-signal-tach up to the left of the speedo.......Bill S
