After searching for 1st gen camaros, I finally "pulled the trigger" and bought a '67 camaro. I have been searching for almost 10 years, that's right, 10 years and 3 marraiges for a 67-69 camaro. I have driven probably 2000 miles to look at 20 cars and found one that I think has potential. I am not a dealer, a "flipper", but a true dedicated gearhead who has two A-bodies and has been on team chevelle since '99. It makes me sad to admit that the car I bought this week could have been had for 1/3 of the price when I started, but such is life. Please give me some support as I have supported Al and his two sites for a long time. I've learned little of Camaros, and a ton of Chevelles and El Caminos (my 1st car in 1980 was a 1972 chevelle). Charlie Lillard (clill) is my hero and I wish he could adopt me, incidentally.

Sincerely,

Mike

Welcome to the real TC! :D
Looks like you at least got the right year Camaro too!

Welcome Mike , you'll soon forget about those Chevelles :yes:

Belated welcome Mike. Congrats on your purchase of a 67 Camaro. Glad you found it after all these years. Where in So. Cal are you located?

Welcome Mike and don't take all that stuff they said toooo seriously. Ive been on here for many years and I just bought a 68 Chevelle! Charlie is one of my gearhead heroes too! Kevin

Looks like you at least got the right year Camaro too!


As long as you ditch the wing windows you'll be alright! ;)

Thanks folks. Dave, I live in Carlsbad but spent 38 of my 42 years on this planet in West L.A.

I often wish that I had chosen a much cheaper hobby like needlepoint or gardening, but what are you going to do.

welcome

welcome from Nor Cal :)

Welcome Mike, from bad sand land of west Texas. :waving:

Thanks for the replies. I figured I should at least show what I got. Here it is new money pit (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=018&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=280130120649&rd=1,1)....that is not me winning the auction as it bought it but the guy couldn't stop the auction. I'm not going to boast about getting a great deal, but the car is one of the least molested/misrepresented I've found. The motor and trans are weak, but I can build those myself, still haven't decided which way to go.
