All time favorite hood. Did the car leave the factory with a Muncie trans?

Awesome!! We can stop holding our breath now! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif I saw some pics of this car a little over a year ago - simply couldn't believe it! Way to go Steve and Jeff, can't wait to go see it when it's back in the states.

Re: DANA "427" Camaro found...thanks to Jeff Chlupsa

As it's been said before...couldn't have happened to a nicer guy! And kudos to Jeff...another one of the good guys!

I bet Brian was happy to take a trip to Hawaii to get a closer look at this piece of history...and to get out of the cold https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Congrats Steve, Brian and Jeff....and a big thank you to the owner who kept it all of these years! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Congrats, and it is in my favorite colour. It reminds me of when I found YS-074 in Kansas. You are going to have one beautiful car when finished.

Good one Chris!

Re: DANA "427" Camaro found...thanks to Jeff Chlupsa
 

What kind of motor did it run? Is the "Dana" motor still around?

I see on the work order there is a scatter shield, headers, tach, hurst linkage, traction bars... cool day-2 racer!

Awesome find. Congrats to all! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: DANA "427" Camaro found...thanks to Jeff Chlupsa
 

Good score. Definitely merits a "they're still out there/can I have it" combo platter.

Re: DANA "427" Camaro found...thanks to Jeff Chlupsa
 

Wow what a cool find. Congrats Steve and Co.

I 2nd the vote to clean it up and bring it as is to SCR10. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: DANA "427" Camaro found...thanks to Jeff Chlupsa
 

I think I saw a pic of the 270 block, so I believe the original engine is with the car. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: DANA "427" Camaro found...thanks to Jeff Chlupsa
 

Talk about a time machine…a truly awesome and historical piece. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif

Congrats to all who were involved, and honored (and anxiously waiting) that it will be debuted at SCR11.

Re: DANA "427" Camaro found...thanks to Jeff Chlupsa
 

Wonderful find........its really hard to believe they are still out there waiting to be discovered!

Steve, If you ship MATSON Navigation via Port Of Seattle, I often times work there and know the operation and people. Let me know if I can do anything to help coordinate the transporation process.

Congrates Steve. Great looking car!!!! There still out there!!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif

Re: DANA "427" Camaro found...thanks to Jeff Chlupsa
 

niiiiiiiiiice!!! and RG my favorite color, https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif Steve, and some of these soon https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif

how about pulling up to the lights next to Marks '68 Motion, hmmm

Re: DANA "427" Camaro found...thanks to Jeff Chlupsa
 

I like the idea of getting the engine and tranny installed and showing it "as found" at SCR-10 this summer...I'll see what Brian, Joe and Frank can do to make that happen.

The scattershield and M21 tranny are presently in Bert's '69 Camaro, but he's agreed to remove them in time for the mainland shipping.

Thanks for the help, Chuck...I may take you up on that, depending on ground transport arrangements to SCW in PA.

Here's shot of the 427 engine [3955270] that Dana installed.

Re: DANA "427" Camaro found...thanks to Jeff Chlupsa
 

Looks like the carb had that funky shooter into the secondaries - common for the period eh? I see them in the old mag articles about Dana, Motion, etc...

Re: DANA "427" Camaro found...thanks to Jeff Chlupsa
 

https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif WOW! I'm off line for a couple of days and look at what I've missed! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif

Congratulations Steve and Jeff. Great find! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif

Good to know it will be in the hands of the "Best in the Hobby" ;...... both owner and resto shop! Hope you can save most of those 'Day 2' pieces; that's what makes these finds all the sweeter!!!!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Nice Work Jeff &amp; Steve. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif Can't wait to see another SCW masterpiece. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif

Re: DANA "427" Camaro found...thanks to Jeff Chlupsa
 

------What a story!!! To top it off the parts sellers are not going to make much off the restoration. There dont appear to be any parts missing at all. Long time owner looks like a good guy. Bet he will be making a few trips to the 48 for various shows. Be neat to see him make a pass in his car once or twice.........Bill S

Re: DANA "427" Camaro found...thanks to Jeff Chlupsa
 

So the engine installed by Dana was an no Vin '69 big car LS suffix L72/M40?.

Re: DANA "427" Camaro found...thanks to Jeff Chlupsa
 

Jeff,great find! Is that what made you so interested in Dana Camaros? Congrats on the purchase Steve. Will be a sweet ride when done.

Re: DANA "427" Camaro found...thanks to Jeff Chlupsa
 

Compared to that other carport LS6,it's remarkably solid for having been(relatively)exposed to the elements since the Nixon admin..still wearing it's black plates too! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif

SS mentions that in his original post, an April '69 conversion.

.....Included in the paperwork that Bert got when he bought the car was a 2-page detailed Dana Chevrolet work order/invoice that listed all the conversion parts and labor done to the car in April, 1969....

Wow....the car could not have found a better home with Steve....and SCW will only turn it into "Top Gun" award winner.

Congrats to you all.

It has to come to SCR10.....before and after....SCR11.

Dan.

Re: DANA "427" Camaro found...thanks to Jeff Chlupsa
 

That is going to be one beautiful car once done. Can't beat Rally Green with Black Houndstooth. But then again I am just a little biased.. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

Killer car. I've always loved the Dana cars. Very, very cool.

Re: DANA "427" Camaro found...thanks to Jeff Chlupsa
