An $80K hair cut in 6 months.  Drove the car 150 miles.  A little over $500 per mile.  Yikes.

Obviously, the final picture shows the true installer.  Looks great.

Thanks, Jerry. 

Darryl, the most important thing is that it is a labor of love, and we all appreciate you letting us watch it progress.  Thank you!!

I have often wondered what the odds are of finding an original engine for a car.  I would guess, astronomical.  My opinion-if you have a nice Chevy motor in the car, why bother with spending the money on something else,that is still just a nice Chevy motor, not original, and may deprive someone else that is looking for that engine..  Just my 2 cents.

Fantastic news.  Congrats!

They must've read William's post.  Camero is now Camaro lol.

I would love to see the second page of Jerry's report on this one, and maybe the third and fourth too.

I think 2 bidders got carried away on this one.

Great job.  Thank you!

The model box that fits a first gen camaro is the Saginaw #800.

ID codes are ink stamped on the box with two letters, cast or stamped numbers are of no use for Id other than year of manufacture.

Here is a link to many GM steering box ID codes! http://www.chevelles.com/techref/shea_3.html

There is a date code stamped on the aluminum top cover, it will be in Julian date form. Julian date is a sequential date from 1 to 365 starting from the first day of the year to last day. A box stamped 142-9 would be the 142nd day of 1969. If you look on the internet, you can find Julian calendars.

The piston bore size should be 3 7/8" NOT the big car and pickup 4 1/4".

This info is from www.pozziracing.com

I guess that's why they are calling it a "special" Camaro project on eBay.

It would probably be in your best interest to hire a qualified appraiser to look at that car in person.

These are on a 1969 RS Z/28 for sale on Facebook.
