Thought it would be worth posting my old 1973 Camaro.
It’s a little more than a day-2 theme but figured some would appreciate it. I rescued this car 1 year ago, recently finished and sold it. She was an old show car from the 80s built by a guy in Alberta. The car attended many of the Canadian World Of Wheels shows and was a well known street car from the Alberta / Sask area. Long story short, the original owner moved out here to BC then had to sell the car in the early 90s. A good friend of his purchased the car, only drove it a few times then parked it in his driveway for more than 30 years! I came along and knew I had to rescue what was still left of this old warrior. Left almost everything untouched and just how it was built. A few minor replacement items to get it running and after a lot of searching I was able to locate exact spec Cragar SST replacement rims. Heck, I even reused the Protrac tires! If only she was stored indoors, I’m sure the body would have looked like the day it was built, but it still polished up decent. I was lucky to come across some old picture of the car as well. Nothing like a solid lifter SBC, tunnel ram, duel quads, 4500 stall manual valve body, 4.10 gear with N50 Pro Tracs! https://youtu.be/Rg_psna3664?feature=shared |
