at the age of 16 my dad brought home a 69 camaro , never really liked the thing and was really into the 97/98 Mitsu eclipse GSX ... fastfoward to age 18 i had begun to understand what the car was and what nostalgia it carried. By age 21 i began hounding him to sell it to me and after 2 years of going back and forth he folded. Im now 23 and just came into possesion of a 69 Camaro today 3/24/08 . Now im not 100% as to which companies are better for performance (im familiar with most of the major names). SO in order for me to restore this camaro "tastefully" i hope you guys can help me so this car gets done right . TIA

 

Welcome to the forums. Post up some pic's of that 1st gen!

Also, there is a ton of knowledgable members lurking in the 1st gen section.


EDIT: I fixed the link for ricks.

 

here are the pics i have , i cant figure out how insert them the right way so ill give you the links

 

Not too bad. You have a little work ahead though. The seats are actually in very good condition considering. Nice ride bro.

 

fixed, make sure you lowercase things like: img and url

 

wow, paint can use work but the leather is beautiful, and original leather is one of the things that makes those cars valuable

 

looks like you have a bit of work ahead of you, but it also looks to be in great condition

have fun and keep us updated

 

looks great,the interior is in incredible shape after almost 40yrs, the only bad part is the drivers fender, but not bad at all, hey who needs paint

 

^^^^ thats what im saying. ive actually seen a couple 60s cars all original, but the interior is what brings the big bucks apparently. repaint with original interior is just amazing. u got a real keeper there
