One of my buddies just sent me this link to a BBC video which I'd never seen.. Finally having an hour to watch it thru, I LOVED it (being a car nut), and I have a good friend who owns two early Cobras...

Restoration / Reproduction 69 Endura bumpers available?

« on: May 25, 2017, 08:15:26 PM »

Just got an email from Heartbeat City Camaro announcing and praising their 'new' repro endura bumper for 1969 Camaros.    James says of this new part...  "We just received the new 1969 Camaro Endura Bumpers which are one of the nicest reproductions or any part we have ever seen. They are exact reproductions in every regard of thse original GM bumper. "

It seems to be packaged well with all necessary parts including bumper brackets and jack jaw even! 
http://www.heartbeatcitycamaro.com/store/product/27435/1969-Camaro-Endura-Front-Bumper-Kit-Includes%3A-Urethane-Bumper-Brackets-Hardware-%26-Jack-Jaw/

Priced at $699, doesn't seem too bad...  but it doesn't qualify for their discounts..  but gets their shipping charge, plus 1.25% for shipping insurance, and an extra $25 for 'oversize'... 

If anyone has purchased, or purchases, one of these it would be interesting to all us '69 owners as to the total cost shipped, and the quality of the part (and how close to original it really is)..   if the part is as good as he claims, then it might be a good deal in spite of the cost based on the number of issues with the original parts out there....?

What do you fellas think?

General Discussion / Thanks to the folks submitting Camaro photos/articles..

« on: April 02, 2017, 04:29:05 AM »

Just a short note to thank the people who submit to the Monthly Camaro Features..  It's not just Bryon and Steve who appreciate the photos and articles (we all do!).   I especially like the submissions which include more than a single photo and a 'story' about the acquisition/work on the car by the owner..   to wit the article submitted by Bill Foos this month on his '69 Z28..  a great looking Z28 in an uncommon color...  I love it...

Garage Talk / Yenko Chevrolet Dealership info and their ads... :)

« on: February 14, 2017, 03:27:51 AM »

A post was made on another forum (trifive.com) which detailed a lot of information on the Yenko dealership and some of their ads of the times and their cars, most of which I've never seen before (being from the south)..  but it's very interesting to me, and perhaps to some of you..      Lots of photos also, so I'm just going to post the link...
