Recent aquisition. Cash & title have been exchanged as of tonight. I'll get her home & in the garage over the next few days. Better pics to come.

 

Oh hell yes its time!

Def. needs a LSx transplant.

Is that a 7 or 8 ??

My next project will be a 66-7 Nova with LSx powah.

Congrats on your new project, that is badass!!

 

it's a 67, it's got vent windows.

looks like the beginnings to a fun project, good luck

 

Just a few more details that I know so far. GM ZZ3 crate engine with just over 600 miles on it, dual friction clutch(unknown brand-possible centerforce), 4 speed trans, 3.08 gears in 10 bolt, unknown posi. Full Autometer intrumentation. Monoleaf rear springs, slapper-bar traction bars, subframe connectors, power disc brake conversion(new, installed), polygraphite bushings, new ball joints & tie rods, etc.

Interior is removed, and needs some attention. Previous owner was going through the wiring, and was going to retrofit some high-bolster seats from a Saturn coupe into it. He included both sets of seats, the stock hood and the new fiberglass cowl hood, and a bunch of other parts he had laying around in the deal.

The only rust I could find anywhere was at the lowest part of the rear quarters, behind the rear wheelwell, and it's very small. Should be easy to fix(I hope).

 

Kick *** bro!

In my family we have 2- 69' camaros among lots other classic chevys.

That is a perfect rear ratio for turbo powah!!!

Keep us updated.

Remember the movie " Better off Dead" I think your car was in it lol

 

Nice project Roger...I had one of those ZZ? engines in my old Monte (can't remember which ZZ...it was the first ZZx that GM offered and I swapped a newer ZZ cam and intake into it). I really liked that mill, it ran great and was reliable. Between the Camaro that it was in at first and my Monte I believe that we had over 150k on it and it purred like a kitten when I traded the car in on my truck.
