- - My new toy !!! (https://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/showthread.php?t=263936)

Let me start off by saying that I am totally stoked about this car
Yes, it may not be a truck but I think you can understand why :rolleyes:

I really am not a car person, but there are a few that I really like & this is one of them !!! it's a long story, but I have been after this particular car for about 3-5 years !!! & today my dream came true !!! :metal::metal::metal:

It's a 69 Camaro Z/28 :crazy:;):cool::metal:

I'm still working with the owners daughter to try & find some of the missing parts
It's missing: drivers side head, intake, carb, valve covers, trans, & drive shaft (that I know of)

It's a little rough, but I love it !!! :crazy::hm:

Re: My new toy !!!

Well lets see some pics little Camaro buddy. Congrats on the purchase.

Re: My new toy !!!

Thank You For Saving this Car, The 69 Z is one of my all time Fav's . From the Pics it would appear to be in Decent Shape, Just gonna try to restore to Stock?

Anyhow Congrats on a Great Find................

Re: My new toy !!!

Looks good to me !!! You don't find them like that in Iowa!!! It would be rotted in a pile and not worth saving !! That thing is *****in!!!!!! You will have to wait for burnout pics form me !!! I think I have a rod about to let go :( The fuel pump went to sh** and filled the motor with gas . drained it and oiled the motor and it has a knock :( I'm gonna tear it down soon and I will keep you posted !!! Didn't mean to steal your buzz of the new car just thought i would let you know !!! *****in' car man !!!:metal:

Re: My new toy !!!

ok, gotta ask, what'd ya pay fer her?? nice find

Re: My new toy !!!

Did you find that near Sacramento, or was the car in Texas? (nice find!!!)

Re: My new toy !!!

Dude, you're sitting on a gold mine... Probably don't have to tell you that though :)

Re: My new toy !!!

lucky...i wanted and still do want a 69 like that, they have a mean look to them even if they have sat for 32 years.

Re: My new toy !!!

I concur, thank you for saving such a primo piece of American muscle. maybe one of my all time favs! doesn't look too ate up with rust either. looks like a black plated Cali Camaro to boot. also looks like power brakes, probably disc and optional rear bumper guards. If that's an original green exterior, well let's just say I really will hate you!!!! lol

you my friend are a lucky person. you need to go play the lottery this weekend!!!

Re: My new toy !!!

Congrats on a great find. Is that the original 302 that's broke? I would be trying to save it too if it would make it a #'s matching car. Lucky dog!!!

The owner bought it in Cali & moved back to Texas a long time ago & brought the car with her

So it's a Cali car, but has been in Texas most of it's life

The car is all original, minus the missing parts & some engine mods

All Z/28's had power discs in the front, as well as the bumper guards (just bigger on the Z/28's)

It has a perfect trunk & the floors are pretty good, the only bad rust is around the front & rear glass

Yes, it is the original 302 with double hump head(s) (minus the obvious big pistons)
I shall be giving it my best shot to save the engine & find the missing parts: drivers side head, intake, carb, valve covers, trans, & driveshaft :whine:
But if not, it'll be a fun car even not numbers matching

Re: My new toy !!!

I can think of one way i'd like to see that car built

Re: My new toy !!!

Congrats Spray-Bomb. You are one lucky dog!! Just get it running and drive it as is!!!! Rat rod style!!

Re: My new toy !!!

Re: My new toy !!!

Don't tub that car. That Z looks to be in great shape for sitting in the open all these years. Great find, and by the way sorry, "Little Camaro Buddy" just don't fit you. Keep us posted on this build.

Re: My new toy !!!

Nice find Matt, what did you give for it? If you don't mind me asking. By the way, nice hair :)

Yeah, then he can sit around and figure out how much his 69Z was worth if he hadn't done that :lol:

Re: My new toy !!!

I think it would be cool to stick another small block in it for now and drive it as it sits untill you fix the 302.
