Fell in love with the '69 when my best friend's older brother bought a new '69 Z28. It was red with Black stripes. Purchased my first Camaro in 1974. It was an 396 SS. Sorry I ever sold it. Owned two more after that, late 70 Zs. Then I had children. I spent the next 25 years driving 4 doors. Now that I got them both through college, it's my turn. I bought a 69, X11 project car in the summer of 2009. I figure it's a 5 year project. As long as the money holds out, I plan on a ground up restoration. I haven't had this much fun in years.

 

cool, so are u doin it down to the frame for a complete restore?

 

I hope to. I'm looking for an affordable rotisserie. If I can't afford one, I guess I'll do it the hard way.

 

yah old school seems harder huh. lol. really doesnt look in that bad of shape. u get the windows out to see what there or should i say whats not there. o did hers the hard way i think maybe she will stop by with some pointers. im sure 69 will have a few.

 

looks like a sweet 69 good luck with the project. i wish i knew of some rotisserie's but i never pulled the subframe on my 68 so i dont know of any.

 

Nice, you should be able to find a nice rotisserie for $800-$1200. You wont be sorry. I put mine on one. Check out the pics on my profile page.

 

Looks like a pretty nice project. Post lots of pics during the process. Good luck.

 

Cool, looks like a fairly solid start. It'll be even better once the "sun tan" is removed.
And the ones that got away... My first 69 was a ragtop, with the "racy" 307, real header sidepipes. I sold it before getting married, needed money for the house. Got a whopping $2,150 for it.
This pic was from around 1978~80.

 

Welcome to the forums. Nice project.

 

I just added this thread to the 'member project' thread here.
