I needs some body work but it is mechanically pretty new
350 crate motor, Intake is a Holley Strip dominator high rise with a Holley 700cfm Double Pumper w/mech secondaries
rear end is from a ’69 Firebird, it is an irregular 10 bolt w/3.55 gears

the guy I bought it from said that they were done by a "friend of a friend" \
they look pretty straight but i will see once i get it all taken apart and sanded down

I went out today to show it to one of my buddies and the spring on the lower clutch pushrod broke sooooo that will be fixed when the spring comes in then I am going to take the front fenders off and start working on them front to back resto one panel at a time

I discovered some butchered sheetmetal under all my paint. Watch out! And be prepared for the worst.

I worked in a welding shop for a year before I came in the Air Force so welding new rear quarters should be doable. I will see if these can be repaired/smoothed out once I get them sanded down.

Every time I go out in my garage I am suprised it is still there.....It still has not set in that I OWN a 1967 Camaro! This is unbelieveable

Actually I do. I dont know how to get them to Montana though, won't be cheap to ship. I think they are from a 69 as well.
