Default Newbie from Sweden says Hi..

Not yet a Camaro owner I still like to introduce myself.

Soon to turn 50 but still young at heart...

Have wasted a lot of years on motorbikes and have quite late picked up the old passion for american cars.

Have gone thru a 1958 Cadillac, a 1973 Corvette convertible and now I have an 1957 Bel Air that I will sell in order to get an musclecar of some kind..

Don´t know what I will find but the Camaros have always been one of those cars I just had to have...

When my BA is gone I might end up with a 68´ GTO or a 70´ Chevelle or something else, meantime I will lurk around and learn as much as possible about the Camaros...

It´s time for me to share some pictures of my new car, my 1971 Camaro SS396.

The paint and the interior was done in the early 1980´s wich you may see by looking at the style.

Due to legal problems with getting the car ready for driving it was put in a corner for over 20 years and not until the year of 2006 it was driven again.

The paint have some small dents but the interior is as good as new, almost 30 years old.

The engine is a 402 bored to 408 and some tuning making it able to put out 490 crank HP according to the dyno.

It runs pretty OK but still have some adjustments to be done in the near future.
