I haven't checked the serial numbers to see what motor it was born with.
It was originally gold & currently it's Lemans blue with white race stripes.
Eventually I will paint it Azure blue with the same white stripes.
The paint on it doesn't look bad at all, it has some striping & mottling in the metallic, but overall it look ok so paint will come a bit later. I also have a 70 split bumper drag car I am finishing up. Just painted it Pewter silver with black stripes.

I will post some pics soon. The car is a coupe, bought in Az. appears to have spent it's life here in the SW as there is not a spot of rot on it & no signs of any panel replacement. I've been looking for quite a while across the country for a car to start out with. Then a friend finds this one about 20 miles from home, saw it in the morning, put it up on a lift spent a couple hours going over it & bought it when I was done. I am going to do an fairly extensive build in a couple phases so I wanted a solid body, good interior & not have the wiring hacked on. I didn't want to tie up much of the purchase price on engine or trans as they are both going away, so this was the perfect car to start with. Currently it has a 350 & 700R4. I am going to pull the front subframe, blast & paint it & rebuild the steering & suspension. Put in an RS grille & put an LS376 & a 4L75E trans. Then go enjoy it for a while until I do phase 2, a narrowed rear, mini tubs & 325 rear tires. look forward to running specific ideas past the group for input.

Hi all I just bought a 69 Camaro & am trying to check out different forums. I will have a lot of question as I start working on the car. I like reading what everyone else had gone through. Can you tell me what other sites are out there that specialize I Camaro.

I am starting to restore a 69, LS3-4L80e. Where's the best place for buying parts like suspension parts, RS grille, brakes & all those other small parts. Also where is the best forum/website for Camaro club info? Thanks
