skybytch 259 #5 January 14, 2004 Thanks JP. I don't have a mop yet, how the heck am I supposed to clean up the puddle of drool I'm sitting in now? I agree though. The 68 Camaro was the coolest car ever. Mine was anyway. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EdC 0 #10 January 14, 2004 My step dad had a 69 vette rag top with a 427 and he sold it when I turned 16 after he figured out how much the car insurance was going up. I got to drive it one time before he sold it. Oh well, life goes on. I still have my 72 Chevelle SS in a barn. All I need is time and money to restore it.

skybytch 259 #11 January 14, 2004 QuoteI got to drive it one time before he sold it. Least you got to drive it once... My dad had a beautiful 70 Nova SS, built and dressed up 350, pristine interior and paint when I was 15. They traded it for a freakin' Mercedes right before I got my driver's license. I never got to drive it. I haven't forgiven them yet. I may never forgive them for that one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My dad had a 1971 Corvette (t-tops). I helped him rebuild it many years before. He told me then that when I was 16, it was mne. Similar story. Insurance. Sold it the day after I got my license. I never even got to start it. I am grateful, though. I would have gotten plenty of tickets with it, and probably would have crashed it. I'm glad I did not get it. My wife is hotter than your wife.

Deuce 1 #15 January 14, 2004 I sold the Camaro as part of the process of getting myself all squared-away to get married. Sold it to a rich kid who's Dad bought it for him. I got a letter from the CHP three weeks after I sold it, the registration transfer hadn't completed yet. Anyhow, it was found off of Highway 5 and it had been: rolled, totalled, burned and stripped. That hurt. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know of at least 5 here in central, arkansas. who'd a thunk it... arkansas. and it hasnt been on the dyno... just guesstamating. a full list would take forever, but Im up to a big 16g turbo... boost is up to 15lbs. Injectors... 2.5" exhaust turbo to muffler. Plans are for lots more... but Im poor and I miss jumpin. 3" GM mass airflow sensor w/ a translator, 680cc injectors, in a blow through config. 2.5" intercooler piping. HKS blow off valve vented to atmosphere. I get that done and it should be close to 375hp. just enough to start breakin parts. then we put on the NOS. and Im an old schooler.. Its pronounced NITROS, N.O.S. is a mfg. 'noss' is somthing I did into a tissue! DUDE!!!! thats one rare freaking car!!! I've seen like 4 of those cars in my entire life!!!!

Right now the engine is out of the car and in my garage awaiting a few more $$ so I can get the parts I need. Prior to this engine rebuild I'm doing it was a 1641cc with MUCH better heads, a weber 2-barrel progressive and a straight pipe exhaust (stinger). So I could easily cruise at 85mph on the highway. Beyond that it was a full on noice ride with classic lines and updated styles, that I built roughly 8 years ago.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."
