"this weekend" turned into today! She's safe and sound in my shop. We fired her up and it runs amazingly smooth. I emptied all the parts out of the trunk and was happy to find the trunk floor totally solid, no cancer at all. The only bad spots are behind the front tires at the very bottom of the fenders (I've seen this before on others I've owned). It needs a full restoration but the initial plan is just to clean her up and drive her once in a while. I guess I had mis counted before, this is actually 1st-Gen Camaro #11 for me, just for fun I'll rattle off the others I've owned:
68 Sport Coupe, 327 PG light green on black with deluxe hounds-tooth interior (First one, bought when I was a in the 10th grade, 1981)
68 RS 327 4 speed 12 bolt posi dark blue on blue
68 SS 396 4 speed light blue on black
68 SS-RS 396 TH400 dark blue on black with a working Concert Sound system
68 Sport Coupe L20/M30 327 4 speed 12-bolt posi <-- "Greasy Orange Small Block, With Nothing Special" article: http://www.camaros.org/l30m20-stories.shtml 
67 SS RS 350 4 speed Red on red
69 Sport Coupe 327 Power Glide green on green
67 Sport Coupe 327 Power Glide white on black
68 RS 327 Power Glide Gold on Gold
67 Sport Coupe 406 TH350 Blue on blue (Last one, bought around 2000)

Here are some more pictures of the 69:

Howdy,

I'm hoping to pick up my new project this weekend. A solid 69 Camaro sport coupe. This will be a thrill for sure. I've owned 11 other first generation Camaro's over the years and started to think I'd never be able to afford another one. I'll post up some more pictures once the deal is done and she's in my garage. I've browsed some of the other posts here, thanks to those that take the time to catalog their work and post pictures. Its inspiring!
