The single line was used in other applications as well, and the fuel cap should be the same regardless of engine. |
Re: Anybody have any info on this 69 Camaro
Your right about the fuel line being used in other applications but if it is a X66 car it could only be used in a high horse car

I was not refering to your car being a high horse or not, but questioned the different gas caps used based on the # of fuel lines. |

Ok sorry about that I misunderstood your response. I am not trying to make people think it is a L78 car without any documentation or the original engine there is no way of really telling. I just think if it is, it would have been a pretty cool car.

Re: Anybody have any info on this 69 Camaro
I received a call approx 8 years ago or so from Brad at D and R Camaro. He told me that Steve had purchased a clone Motion Camaro from one of his customers and that it was for sale.
Brad had told me that it was a real Red/Black big block car based on the trim tag, and that he believed that none of the drive train was original. I went to look at the car, bought it and drove it home that day. A local friend and customer Fred N. drove me over to see the car. It had a 454 engine, TH400 with a big stall and a 12 bolt posi. Not long after I had it back at the garage Fred made an offer to buy the Camaro, which I accepted. He purchased some "MOTION" parts from The parts palace, including the repro Trans Am spoiler which he added to the car. It had a std '69 Camaro D80 spoiler on it, when I got it. He drove it for a brief time and even took it to a local cruise night or two. He decided to sell the car and I can't remember if he traded it back to me or just consigned it as he was buying a bunch of cars from me at that time. I remember that he ran it at Mecum in Belvedere and it was a no sale. I was referred to a local Electrical contractor, West of town. Nate wanted his first Muscle car and based on our conversation, this car fit the bill. I remember taking it out to his home for a test drive. His wife wanted to go first and had me drive it. At the end of the test drive, she just responded that "we'll take it." Nate had it for a while and then sent it to an auction or two where I believe it eventually sold. |
