Dude, you gotta let me know when I need to prepare myself. You almost made me go "a little over the edge" But that grille/headlight design is NASTY... Edited December 11, 2005 by NOS2006

The phenomenal '69 Camaro ZL1 with 430 horsepower, cost 7,000 dollars when a regular Camaro cost 3,000.

[NOS2006]

By "regular," do you mean a base V6? Or a topped-out SS?

Yes it did... but it was worht every penny. For $7000 you could have bought two Mustang GTs... but those would be worth about $15,000 in mint condition these days while the ZL1 is worht $850,000 mint

The regular V8 model.

Not an SS or a Z/28 but a 327 Coupe with a few options.

Also the six cylinder F-bodys were all Inline sixes for the first decade... All first gen Camaros wiht a six-banger got the stovebolt six successor of the time while all 6-cylinder firebirds had OHC Inline Sixes that were very cutting edge at the time. (I doubt Toyota or Honda had OHCs in the mid-to-late 1960s)

1969 Yenko Super Camaro 427 B) Note to Mustang: Bow down B1tch!



1970.5 anyone else prefer the non-RS 70-72 cars? Split bumper is a bit awkward for me.

The Foose Camaro by Unique Performance...yours for a only $109,000! With options, they expect it to top out around $179,000. Unique and Year One will be selling the parts separately too. Unique has done good things for the Shelby G.T.500E's...should be good for the Camaro as well. Was a good episode of Rides when they covered the build process for that car.

Don't forget the convertible version!

[Sixty8panther]

I don't like the RS front ends all that much. They look busy and kind of awkward. Semi-gloss black is the way they were meant to look.

[HarleyEarl]

That Foose convertible is a stunner.....I like his approach, subtle muscularity....tailored..crisp.

a couple pictures I took at the Peterson automotive museum

p.s. If someone can scale down the pics, and post them directly... please do :) Edited December 12, 2005 by AAS

Unique performance has this killer rear end supsension setup I want to buy one day for my project car. Shame it costs like 5 k. Would be cool to have though so I can tackle the twisties at No Problem Raceway. Edited December 12, 2005 by Brandon Lutz

Dude no one's FORCING you to look at the thread. Some of these cars you're complaining about (like the yellow ZL1) are worth more than a new Exotic Ferrari.

[greengiant]

Well heres the story that was 20+ years in the making. It all started when my dad followed a man home who was in a lemans blue '69 RS. He came back a couple of years later and found it parked behind the house. Well about every year or so he'd make a routine stop by the mans house to see if he'd sell it, but the man never accepted an offer. Last june the man finally asked how much my dad would offer but my dad told him to come up with a price that would make him happy. He stopped by last july and offered the man $2000 for it and he said sure. My dad ended up with an original owner, lemans blue 1969 rs camaro. On the a side note, the day after my dad got me an original owner 1964 el'camino, with original paint and a corvette 283 with an M-22. Edited December 13, 2005 by greengiant

I saw the Unique Perf./Foose Camaro in person this past Sept. alone with their 350GT stang.

If you guys want to see some other cool Pro Touring Camaro's, check out www.lateral-g.net and look in the gallery.

I'm currently building a PT '68 here's some pics of the front clip, that's all the further I am on it right now. I plan on doing a LS1 swap in it as well. Also here's a pic when I first got it home a little over a year ago. Paid $1900 for it as a roller.

Sweet!! Im about to start up my own 68. What are your plans for wheel size and type on it to go with that suspension? Also anything special you are going to do with the rear suspension?

Uh, huh...that's the ticket....ya, come to daddy, oh ya....

[BuddyP]

Thanks NOS2006!

Sweet!! Im about to start up my own 68. What are your plans for wheel size and type on it to go with that suspension? Also anything special you are going to do with the rear suspension?

Wheel size I plan on going with 8"x17" up front and 9.5"x18" in back. Those are the maximum widths you can pretty much go on a stock chassis. Not sure on wheels yet, probably billet wheels but I do like the aftermarket C6 Z06 wheels, but the front's only come in 8.5" wide, that may be a bit too tight. I have awhile to think about that though. I thought about a DSE (detroit speed and engineering) mini tub kit that would allow up to 11" or 12" wide rears but that's just more $$$ that I don't have LOL!

With the front end I did what is called the Guldstrand Mod, basically lowering the upper control arms, Hotchkis drop springs, Hotckis shocks (revalved Bilsteins), Hotckis 1 1/8" sway bar, ditched the old rubber bushings for Delrin/Aluminum bushings and of course the Wilwood 4 pistons brakes. The rear I plan on (at this time) just using DSE drop leafs. If I feel the cash is there I may go with a 3 link coil over but right now am leaning toward the drop leafs.

Check out lateral-g.net and www.pro-touring.com when you get into your project. I'm on PT.com a lot and there is soooo much info on there and the people really help you out.

Here's a couple other pics of the front end rebuild....

Is that sub-frame painted or powder coated?

Do you guys want more pictures of my dads car?

Ignore the crappy wheels

One of the best looking intakes of all times

Iroc Vert

Baddest RS Vert Camaro EVER!

[greengiant]

What was the uncommon gear option. We used to have an I-ROC 350 and my dad said that it topped out at 150 mph stock. He said something about it had some special factory gears....

[post="62406"]<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/post]

Sorry but your dad is wrong. There is no stock 3rd gen that will do 150 stock. The 700R4 was geared for acceleration not top end or fuel economy. Besides the L98 fell on its face a little above 5000 RPMs. I belive 3.23 was the only rear ratio available for the 350 cars. 3.42s were on G92 5 speed 305 TPI cars and 2.73 and 3.23 were available on both the 2.8/3.1 MPFI V6 and the 305 TBI cars.

Edit your dad's Iroc could have been an 89 which would have had the Aussie 9 bolt BUT it was still a 3.23 rear and still wouldn't do 150. Edited December 22, 2005 by 91z4me

[greengiant]

It was an '89. Sorry I forgot the year. I think it was special order or something, cause it had a different speedo. Oh an keep in mind this is all from when I was 5. Edited December 22, 2005 by greengiant

[post="62475"]<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/post]

You could order a higher speedo but it was not factory it was aftermarket. All G92 Camaros had a 145 speedo from 87 onward, when the 350 was put back into the Camaro.

[greengiant]

Thanks for the info. I'll find out more from my dad when he gets home.

Chew on this

[Sixty8panther]

There's nothing wrong wiht BBS rims... esp. on a sharp looking 1980s or 1990s car like a '91/'91 Camaro. I'd love to ahve that car... except wiht my OWN motor in it. :D


Here's some more yummy Camaros:

















Never know what you'll find on Google... this is a Manage a trois I can dig. :D







Some more sexy ladys with Camaros.

That has to be the best photo of that era of Camaro ever. Beautiful!

Those gothic rims are top notch on a 3rd gen ragtop. :D

[greengiant]

I found out the true story behind my parents old camaro. It had a 10 bolt with 2.73's and some minor head work(port and polish I think).
