Thanks Rich,

Appreciate the feedback.  Question:

Was it possible to have a RS with a 350?  I see a lot with 327.

And

What are the coorect stripes for a '69 RS like yours and mine?  Or maybe no stripe.  I saw a few with the twin stripes down the center of the vehicle, I believe the Z-28 stripes. 

Thansk!

I'm a brand new member and would greatly appreciate your input.

I just purchased a 1969 Camaro RS Coupe.  No rust, body is straight, enigine is now 350 with I believe a column shift 3 spd trans.  It has a black deluxe interior with power windows, tilt wheel, rosewood dash, and rear defroster.  Interior needs work and exterior is primer.

I was planning to restore fully to a pro-touring car but looking at all the money I would spend I was questioning whether not not to start off with a SS/RS or Z-28 and do a back to stock restoration.

My questions:  Is it worth to dump this much money in a RS car?  What does everyone think of a pro-touring Camrao.....is it something that not very desired?

Also, what engine come in a Camaro RS, 327? or 350? or both?

Do you know what kind of transmission I have based on the description above and is it worthwhile to keep?

Thanks for your input in advance.
