Hello, Alex from Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. Bought a 1968 Camaro in 2005 when i was 18 years old. Now im 36 and its time to start restoring the car. Its a basket case but ill get it done. Car was a 230 3 on tree tripoli turquoise car. Was going to do the standard 350 4 speed like everyone else but after long consideration, the 6cylinder will do just fine. I came across a running 250 out of a 68 that im going to put in. I have a 4 speed manual trans that im going to put in instead of the 3 on tree. Thats the only "modification". Going to put car to its original KK paint and leave the dog dish caps on. Ill post pictures when i can.

I'm with ya, but that 3 tree deal is the coolest part of the car. Anyone can have floor shift.

Yes it is... and somewhat of a theft deterrent, especially younger thieves. If it's not an automatic, they don't know how to drive a stick.
-
A car with an non upgraded shifter is cool.

Can’t seem to post more than one picture at a time.

Appreciate all the comments but I just don’t care for column shift.

sorry for my mistake on the post

Dare to be different!! There are many of us who really like a 3-speed column shifted vehicle, and it's one feature that is rarely seen any more.

Great thief deterrent. There's many that wouldn't know how to shift it :)

Ill leave my dog inside, thats enough deterrent :D

If you’re using a Saginaw that was behind a six banger it will have a 3.11 first gear.
With a 3.08 rear diff, that will give a 9.58 low gear. Should make it feel very peppy!

Thats exactly what i have!... Cant wait to get it to my house in March and get her going. Car is original down to the cigarette butts
-
Please put all removed original parts up in safe storage
in case you or next owner wants to put it back original.

Without a doubt. When i took the car apart in 2005 i still have every nut and bolt, labeled etc.. Whatever i dont use goes back in the GM totes and to the attic.
