Default Re: 1969 Camaro SS RS 396 Baldwin Motion look

Hi Bart, I still have the car. I am more suprised you still have yours. As hot as the 70 Z/28s are right now and as original as yours is I figured it would be gone to another owner by now. My car is more of a niche car that I put together for myself, some people like it and some do not because its not a numbers matching original car. I have been driving it to the Crystal cove car get together south of Newport beach on some Saturday mornings. I think its about 10 miles south of me on PCH. I have been getting more comfortable driving the car. The guys at the engine shop said I should try some racing gas, bump the timing and gain a bunch more horsepower with the combination I have now. But I still have not gone full throttle yet in this car because I do not want any squeaks and rattles or take a chance of breaking something. Take care and enjoy both of your Z/28s. I remember the hardest running car I had ridden in was a 1969 Z/28 with a 70 Z/28 LT-1 350 crate motor in it. With 4 people in the car it pulled harder than any big block Corvette that I have ridden in since.
