Default Re: 69 SS L78 restoration

Nice RS - I always liked the color too. Don't see it too often.
Rick, you're right on. Raced at both almost every weekend until they closed. Brainerd and Thunder Valley in Sioux Falls, SD as well. This was my fathers car since new. He is nearing retirement, decided he was never going to race it again, and wants something "different" he can just drive. Camaros are fairly common and after 36 years of the same car, he basically lost interest in it - but it has too much sentimental value for him to sell outright. The 427 and 4 speed in it now are from a Biscayne (see different) he bought for the drivetrain and then sold the shell for $600 . We have the vin from the Biscayne and are trying to track it down now. If we can't find it, we'll probably just do a clone of it. So I'm ending up with the Camaro in exchange for the Biscayne body and a promise to keep it in the family.
