Your Favorite Camaro Porn

The best thing about the '69 Firebird Trans Am are the

wide-spaced racing stripes. I've seen a convertibe 69 TA

clone but not the real thing. Where were you lucky enough

to make that sighting?

Guess this thread kind of got lost...

I saw it at the Dundas Fair. Dundas is a little historic city right next to big dirty Hamilton (Steel Town). Think Brookville, if you stuck it right next to Detroit.

It was just sitting there next to a line of other not-so-special classics. The owner came up and talked to me when I started staring uncontrollably. It was VERY clean, with a little tiny bit of rust starting around the passenger door handle being the only flaw I could find.

How easy is it to fix the rust on these cars?

Man, that sucks. I wish you didn't have to, but given the situation, I can't say I blame you.

Yeah... it's been a weird past few days. Kind of a

mix of shell-shock & euphoria.

GOOD NEWS:

This car was manufactured at the Van Nuys plant in California & spent most of its life out on the west coast. The subframe, rocker panels, glass, hood & trunk are in excellent shape. The car is famous in the New England area as it used to be a New England Dragway regular and it was daily driven by myself all over the place and in 2003, 2004 & 2005 it competed in the Summer Nationals Burnout Contest in Worcester, MA. It was a crowd favorite and the winning bidder can have footage & photos of the car all over New England from my four years of ownership.

BAD NEWS:

Someone hammered in the rear wheel well lips to fit 14" tires and since the car has been in New England for the past 17 years the rust from that damage has rendered the rear quarters junk. The front driver's side fender got hit in 2004 and I replaced it with a used fender off of a 1967 Camaro that I got at the junkyard. This fender is the worst part of the car, but if you cleaned up the replacement fender and the original you can make one good fender out of the two. The old fender is crunched in up front and the newer one is rusted out completely behind the wheel. The car could be made into a daily driver again if you fixed sevral wiring issues, or got a "Painless" wiring harness and did the breaks all around. The breaks are the only "unsafe" part of the vehicle, they stop as well as an original set of drums with no power assist will on a 38 year old car but todays traffic requires much better braking. There's also a leak in the master cylinder.
