Here is another project we are building now. 1969 Camaro LS2 pushing about 500hp, 6 speed, 4 wheel discs, coilovers, modern gauges and Rushfurth wheels.

We have done many 69's - but I actually cant wait to do this 78. Looking forward to pulling off the t-tops and taking myself back to 1992 all over again. Unfortunately my friend that I sold my 1979 Z-28 to was killed in a motorcycle accident in 2001 so we cannot live it all over together.

And here is a few pictures of my coupe that is currently held hostage by the body shop in Woodstock. That is going to change soon and then we can get moving on installing the 1200+ hp tiwn turbo LSx 408 &amp; 6 speed drivetrain in it. Chris Alston subframe, Ford 9&quot; rear, quadra-links, mini tubs and 4 wheel discs.

I have an '81 Camaro with a Z/28 hood sitting in my backyard. I bought it 4 years ago from the local Toyota dealership for $300.... it was a trade-in that they wholesaled to me(I'm a dealer). Someone had removed all the smog stuff and the computer.... so it wasn't even close to passing a Califormia smog inspection.... Its kind of a shame becuase its a stick car with a perfect body and ran and drove great. I ended up pulling the rebuilt 305 and put it into an '86 TPI Z28(another story)... I also pulled most of the interior and put it into a '78 Trans Am(another story)..... I don't have the heart to scrap it..... but there really isn't anything I can do with the car.... so it just sits in the yard under a tree...

Drop one of the new E-Rod LS based motors and a 6 speed in it. From what I understand the E-Rod motors are compliant with Cali emissions standards for both visual and probe testing. In NY we have plug in only inspection for ODBII cars after 1996 and even my 2010 Camaro with over 700hp and running long tubes and no cats still blows right through inspection.

Worst case, save the car as the demand for them is coming...my brokers just sold a 13k mile Bandit Trans Am for over $75k.

As much as I like the Older &quot;DAY2&quot; style cars-I have a soft spot for the new generation muscle cars-Back in the days when Iroc-Z's-5.0 mustang's-Buick Turbo regals-Ford Supercoupes-SHO's-Pontiac GTA's-Monte SS..I can go on for days,But I know this board Gets it.I owned mostly all the cool cars of my era,Cool Import's and Rare ones too-like a 1LE iroc z, SSP 5.0 mustang trunk, Rare 2 tone Buick turbo regal limited and the list goes on-My 1979 Z28 is the only car I had sellers remorse about-it was a 350 4 speed ttop car-that I swapped a mean 454 in it,No car on the street could touch it-These cars deserve regonition,I hope the 3rd gen fbody's catch up too=They are FUN cars-it seems like only 1 st gen camaro's get noticed..
