Hello, I have just bought a really rusty early 67, V8, its a total restoration case and I am weighing up my options quite carefully right now.
I run a small transport and storage yard with a side line in restoring interesting things, cars, old signs, petrol pumps, vintage garage accessories so this Camaro is not really a problem, just time consuming.
I understand it came into the country in November last year from all the paperwork I have with it, I looked it over and almost walked when I saw the state of it but I decided a complete-ish rust bucket was better than no Camaro so bought it anyway.
The rear Shocks are both in front of the axle and the ViN tag is on the driver door shut, it has an LSD fitted and I believe it has Corvette wheels, either both or certainly the rears.
I am 38 years old this year and want to drive this on my 40th birthday in October 2014. we shall see !
Currently on my big thinking list is the pros and cons of a new body shell, very expensive but ought to save a lot of time, the other alternative is to buy almost all the panels and fix this existing shell, that would require both rear quarters, a trunk floor, a parcel shelf assembly, roof and inner drip rails and some floor pan repairs. Oh, and the upper front cowl is gone too....
I can do the job, its just wether I want to spend a year welding.
. These things have a habit of taking longer than planned. Good luck with it all.
