So is it an original 4 speed or automatic?

It's an automatic slapstick shifter.

Was this a column shift originally? Cannot tell with the carpet in place whether it had a console or not. Did you check the shifter lockout linkage on the frame? Can you take a picture of the firewall area where the speedo cable would come out for a Muncie?

Just to warn you, this is one of the roughest cars I have ever seen, so the pics aren't pretty, but here is the Muncie hole. I can't tell if it had a console, as it was not there when I picked the car up. As for the shifter lockout linkage on the frame and the firewall area where the speedo cable would come out for a Muncie, there's snow on the ground right now, so I can't get under the car. I'll check that out as soon as I am able.

Out of curiosity, what is that documentation?

Easy to tell if it had a console: http://www.camaros.org/options.shtml#id

KnA,

Just so you know, the Muncie speedo cable hole is not there in the firewall. Also you do not have the ducted hood accelerator lever.

What speedo does it have 120, or 140?

I just made a long post but somehow it was lost??? So I'll try this again... I own and operate my own repair shop and have been dictating 90% of what i have posted to one of my employees, so somethings weren't written exactly as i said them. So, I'm taking the helm for a bit. Now. I am not 100% sure it's a COPO yet but i am 100% sure it could be? At this point and time no one can tell me either way, X44 bodies were base model cars period. I haven't seen hundred's of base 69's but i have seen a few and none of them had the cowl wiring hole!!! Mine does and that's what started all this crap in the first place. According to all my research only COPO's had the cowl hole. I'm still working on the paper trail and its a tough road ahead I believe. I wish it would be easier. This car is in very bad condition, honestly one of the worst I've ever seen! I wish I could tell you the heater core is for a BBC, but It's not there, I wish I could tell you the engine mounts were for a BBC, but there not there!!!!! Frustrating to say the least! At the end of the day I am now determined to find out one way or another what this ca is. Either way I will let everyone here know what it is.

OK, so how about a picture of the drivers rear frame rail with the plate welded to it for the tailpipe hanger?

Here are a few more interesting resto projects I have lined up.

First pic:

Down below is a 1971 Motion Camaro. Good story behind that car. I had a nice conversation with Joel Rosen who owned Motion Performance back in the day, who confirmed it was definitely one of his. Only $2 grand will get me the authentication.

The car above it is a 33k original miles 1967 Nova. The car was 100% original with a 194 straight 6 with a 3 on the tree. It actually aligned on my rack without having to replace any parts, everything was still tight! lol
For giggles, we searched what the wheel HP was for that car back in 67 and from what I found, it was 90hp. The little 194, 55 years later put down 85.4hp on my DynoJet. INCREDIBLE!!! The 2013 LS-3 ZL-1 and 6 speed will be going into this car, along with the media center, steering column, and all the modules to make it a modern driveline in 67 body.

Second pic:

The 71 Ventura is a single owner, all original 250 I6 with a 3 on the tree, 90k car in fantastic condition! She's getting a 69 427 (I'm keeping the 3 on the tree 'til it blows, lol). I'm making this a 69 Yenko Deuce tribute car.

Not shown, but on the back burner:

Will be restoring a 1971 RS/SS BB 4-speed that I've been sitting on for 16 years. And she matches!

Just figured I'd share.
