I sold the SS and a week later it was totaled. Here is my first 10 10 69 Z28 in 76. It had a wrecked front end and I picked up a complete front end from a wrecked in the rear Camaro at a local salvage yard. Had it painted and the shop ordered a new hood, ZL2, and grill, black. These pics of the car are right out of the paint shop, still needed to add the rear bumper guards and wheel well trim. I had the Camaro script shaved off the fenders and had a Gothic letter Z painted there, you can see it in the pics. I got orders to go overseas myself in 79, Mildenhall, AB and sold it and a week later I got a call from the guy that bought it off me saying he sold it to some young kid in Baltimore and he totaled it.

Bought this in 82 when I got back to the states. Yeah, my kids. I own the 69 Caprice in the pics too. Never got the chance to do anything with the 67, divorce got in the way. This was a white Camaro with Gold interior 327, power glide.

Bruce...I noticed the comment on water marking photos, can you recommend something? There is quite a bit on this when I Googled. Is it better to go to a site and go thru the motions or have your own stand alone program?

My first SS396POS circa 1982/1983:
![]() 396 version 1 (L34 based with a Crane CC290NC solid cam, Vega converter in a Turbo 400, 4.56 12 bolt): ![]() 396 version 2: 11-1's, square port closed chamber heads and the same Crane cam. Never got this one to the digs, but it was considerably stronger than version 1: ![]() At the digs in 1983 with 396 V1: 13.20's @ 107 with ZERO hook on Kelly Springfield N50's. (Not too shabby for a dumbass snot nose kid.) ![]() Spun a rod bearing on the next pass which resulted in 396 version 2. Giving a friend something to waste the last few pics on a roll of film on: ![]() I would give everything I have to be able to go back to those days. |

Bought it and restoring it back. ![]() Another One: This was not mine in 69, but I am the current caretaker of the "Tin Soldier" COPO.

Only has 4,000 miles from new... All 1/4 at a time. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Rich
