One of the most beautiful Camaro's I have ever seen...

[CALL911]

I just saw this thing the other day, and am still amazed at it. :drool: It's no LTX, but I would love to own a nice 2nd Gen like this thing.

Personally, I'd probably yank out the motor, and do a FI LSX or LTX under the hood just to make it silly.

Amazing car though IMO.

That is pretty sweet, but Id like it if it wasnt lowered

It's definitely nice. I like the 70-73 RS front ends better though. I will have me a 2nd gen at some time in my automotive lifetime.

That car was beautiful.
I would love to have it just the way it is.
But I wouldnt mind a 383 LT1 t-56 swap...

She's a bute for sure. I'd just need it to be CALL911's definition of fast :devil:

Speaking of making it fast, how fast were those cars from the factory? How much did they weigh? Anyone know?

In '70 you could get a 396 in the SS model.
The Z28's from the early 2nd gen era were nice.
The '70 Z28 had the 360hp LT-1, the later years got a slightly detuned version and then the LT-1 got replaced with the L-82 motor which was still around 240-250hp.

They weighed between 3200-3400 depending on options.

They are going way up in price right now.

I've posted these before but I'll whore them out again...

This is a 71 Camaro my dad restored. Was an ex drag car. He intially bought it on a whim with no motor/trans and decided just to make it a nice roller, well the build got a little out of hand. It was in Camaro Performers (the same issue as Tony's car) and he ended up selling it (which was the original plan) to a collector in Texas. I got to "long haul" it on the 2007 Hot Rod Power Tour. Had 31 miles on it when I picked it up. Let me tell you I got 10X more looks driving this car for a week than I ever have total in the 13 years I've had my LT1 car.

It's a 402ci BBC with a Richmond 4+1 5-speed (if you were wondering)

This is my dad's personal car. He's owned it since 1974. It's a 73 RS Z28. Runs a 383 SBC with a Richmond 6 speed. Yes it is an original GM color. Pretty rare color to say the least.

Awesome car Brandon.

I guess to be more specific, what did the early 70's Camaro's run in the 1/4 mile?

low 14's iirc. That was for the '70 with the 360hp LT-1. It was actually faster than the SS396 car.

[Phstratton]

That's amazing. I love 2nd gens.

I love that erra camaro, then again, I like almost all :cool:
