Day Two Perfection?
 
To me, this is dang near Day Two perfection. The experts may have a different opinion, but this thing looks as good and as right as so many I remember rumbling around Pittsburgh when I was growing up in the 70's.

That’s a member of this site “Vince” His car personifies Day2

Rumbleguts396 04-13-2020 07:13 PM

Vince “vinny” is a great guy. We worked together for many years back in the 1990’s. Rob

NorCam 04-14-2020 12:37 PM

I do believe that is "the perfect looking Day 2 Camaro". I saw it on Facebook and immediately started thinking twice about my car and perhaps leaving the original driveline off to the side and doing the exact same thing with it. I'm still stuck on that. lol

It's a great looking car, Vinny. Leaves me wondering...do you ever get together and cruise NY or Jersey with these other guys? :haha:

Must be something to see if you ever get your car together with theirs?

:beers:

I'd change the rear end cover to a finned design and swap to square traction bars, and some 8' Cragars; never been a fan of that deep a dish. Otherwise, that's a BMF!

markinnaples 04-14-2020 02:49 PM

There's not one thing I'd change on it, not one.

vince 04-14-2020 05:52 PM

chevyandpontiac 04-14-2020 06:41 PM

The only thing I need is more pictures!!!!

I agree about the 10'' deep dish wheels on the back , But Every Car or Van I owned till about 1990 had them, Still a killer Car !!!!

L78M22Rag 04-14-2020 09:17 PM

That’s a nice looking car with a great stance. The only thing it needs is some tire rubber stuck to the lower part of the quarters...

Would like to see a few more pics... and a burnout video!!

TMagda 04-17-2020 01:16 AM

Its perfect, and looks very much like my first car, which of course I have no pictures of.

ZoomXF 04-17-2020 10:02 PM

This is how I remember them. My cousin had a hugger orange 69 RSZ with this set up. I also remember a black 69 Camaro, but maybe with 10 x 14's. I like the 10" and seem more correct for a 70's Street Machine style, but the 8" look good too.

What size tires? 295 X 15?

NorCam 04-18-2020 05:00 PM

I believe Vince is running N50/15 Pro Tracs on the rear.

Salvatore 04-19-2020 07:13 PM

Long Island Vince is the man. Great car and a good Dude!

yes no doubt, I ran the same hood on my camaro back in the late 70s or very early 80s. pulled in to a getty gas station in my hometown back then yonkers ny. had no hood on my car at the time. there it was hanging on the wall in one of the bays. I think I got it for a 100 bucks. wicked paint job. said speed parts center on it. they were in elmsford ny. didn't know it at the time but the guy that sold it to me was a legendary yonkers street racer named bill casey he ran a 69 camaro called the super pumpkin with that hood on it up in Wingdale ny dover drag strip.:naughty: story for another day:beers: I will say this: id say he was a about 10 years older than me at least I was 18-19. only spoke for about 30 min one of the nicest guys I ever met.

Hey Vince, where are you on Long Island? Hope to run into you at Milleridge Inn if this covid thing ever goes away!

This thread is a tease. 3 pages and only 1 pic of that car. There should be a law!

LMAO...I snagged a few from Facebook. Even though it doesn't belong to me, here are a few more pictures I can add to the thread to help keep us all sane. Love the look and the stance of this car. Hopefully, Vince can add some better pics to the thread. I'd like to see more as well.

jbtech 04-28-2020 12:24 AM

Looks timeless! In another 50 years it will still be cool!

NorCam 04-28-2020 01:13 AM

Looks cool with the old Mickey's on there. :biggthumpup:

I have an NOS set of 50's here.

markinnaples 04-28-2020 09:35 PM

How does that ride with the bias plys?

GMC_Typhoon 04-29-2020 12:02 AM

The red one from Hot Rod with the oil filters under the bumper. That one was the best.

chevyandpontiac 04-29-2020 11:46 AM

Nailed the look with the tires, they fit perfect

Here are a few more early Camaros that are either Day 2 or Day 3 that just appealed to me

NorCam 04-30-2020 12:28 AM

That car of Grady's has still gotta be the best day II car ever done. Very clean, very much understated, and drop-dead gorgeous from every angle.

Plus...it's a Copo :drool:

Couldn’t agree more!

markinnaples 04-30-2020 01:27 PM

Absolute perfection.

mockingbird812 04-30-2020 03:07 PM

That angle of Grady’s COPO makes it look even more bad *ssery!!!!:eek2::biggthumpup::eek2::biggthumpup:

m22mike 04-30-2020 07:21 PM

That was on the cart path at Amelia Island as he was going to the show field.
