Well frankly Im just glad to participate even though mines not even done. I feel that part wasnt even done by me. All of the rest is by me and hopefully next time this ROTM comes around it will be voted on as a completed project.

 

camaro 69 got mine... thats just a mean lookin car

 

Frost, I thought brian did that play on words because you said "restored back to original is not something that can be done done from a summit catalog."
Anyway, that's how I saw saw it!

 

no i was deffinately way too drunk drunk to think of that last night. but still thats pretty funny.

 

im calling jerry springer!

 

At a normal show our cars would be no where near Camaro 69's and Brian's. While Camaro 69's is a classic hot rod (IMO) Brian went the touring route which is popular right now. It was not hard to predict he would win based on looks. The orginal cars everyone loves but they are not eye catching to anyone but the purest, which is a pretty small number. I have thought about upgrading my car, there are tons of bolt on's that do not require any damage to the car to install them but I just can't do it. I even found myself wishing the car was not so orginal just so I could install a nice 4 link rear and make so it did not twist at the hint of a hard turn. Its almost like we don't own the cars we are just their keepers till another keeper takes over. When my son decides to keep it stock or "update" it, If I am still around, I will remind him that had I done that what would he have? A car that was updated in 2009 and all those updates will now need updated because who wants obsolete updates? Come on a 67 Camaro with a LS1 in it 20 years from now?

You nailed it on the head. That pretty much sums up this topic for me.
Theres some really nice Camaros to vote for here and may the best ride take it. Its been an honor.

 

I love the restored ones better. Maybe aftermarket wheels, but I don't like it when it's chopped up. That's why I nom'd and voted for Frostlime

 

i went with brian....however, they're all nice!! i had to go with the black rs/ss because i just ordered a black 2010 2SS RS this morning and i can't get enough of black camaros right now!! great cars!!!

 

i test drove a new 2010 camaro last week. it was the v6 300hp standard optioned car. it handled real nice. bright yellow and got a lot of attention.
