I have had that 69 Z/28 for years....it's all tore down and getting ready for paint....I have taken the 302 and am rebuilding it from top to bottom and matched up some aluminum heads and bought some trinkets and beads for it so to speak. But now i am thinking about swapping in a clip with power rack and pinion ,running a tremec 5 speed and twin turbo's . Kind of a cross between protouring and a newer version of a z/28.Yet keeping all of the original pieces incase i want to put it back the way it was. In other words i have inner conflict with messing with the car i have had for over 20 years....lol

I hear ya, That car is highly collectable being a Z28 and if you got the matching numbers 302 with it also!! I mean you cant even hardly find a 302 if your looking to buy one unless you have a whole bunch of $$$$$$. Great car and would love to see some pics when you get time. My 69 chevelle is being neglected right now waiting to get my truck done. I bought a 69 dated 396 big block for it. Needs rebuilding though. The car is a malibu but it was my first car I got when I was 15, so I have had it for going on 20 years now also. Im trying to decide if I want to clone it into a SS or not. I already got the bucket seats and horseshoe shifter and console. New SS hood and SS wheels. I bought a new tilt sterring column and 3 spoke weel also. Wow I guess I need to get back on that thing ASAP.

I was thinking of a funky mid to dark green and white pearl combo.....for the prostreet.Teal or seafoam and white for the 66 SBBW...Right now the 69 camaro is hugger orange but the factory color is green. So really nothing is decided right now...all up in the air

Well it's a canadain car so i have all the documentation for it and it is a z , but it's not a numbers car anymore. It has a 69 302 thats close date match wise but most of those 302's went boom along time ago. Nice ride you have...it's tuff sometimes deciding what to do with our old toy's....lol. This will be the 3rd time i have built the car it's in great shape and that makes it so much easier to do.

Neither can I.....lol
I have had that car since I was a kid.....it's a part of my DNA. If I had half the money back from all the rear tires i have burned off it over the years....I could probaly have 2- 69's now.....lol

Hello is anybody home... ????

Hey you know I hate you right... I've had to sell everything I've owned over the years just to get the next one.. 64 chevelle convertible, 49 chevy fast back, 67 camero, 69 superbee, more 55 to 57's then I can count used to buy them for $50 and put them in the crash up derby at the local figure 8 track, which by the way is still open and race every friday night.. Called the Speedrome at Kitley and English Ave..

[57truckguy]

I have a friend who lives around Vancouver some place, he says he is on the other side of the mountain because he can't efford the housing prices in town.. He is a long distance truck driver and moved there about 10 years ago with his new wife who is orginaly from there..

Dude hate is such a strong word.....I feel your pain....I have had 27 ....67 to 69 camaro's and built them and sold them all but the 69 I have now....the first one I ever bought. But on a good note I am out of town and fly back soon to jump back on my trucks and i think i also found another driver that needs a new home.....Something to look at as soon as i get back to use as a shop truck.
