Well, I've been lurking here for a while and I figured I'd go ahead and register. My father and I are beginning to restore his 1969 Z28. The car is Rally Green with a Vinyl Roof and Black Stripes. The car has been parked since the late Eighties in a dry garage. It has almost no rust only some surface rust and a destroyed battery tray. Yesterday we hooked a battery up and the electrical system seemed to work, the lights came on, wipers ect. The car also cranked once we had proper voltage at the battery. Just a side note he has owned the car since 1975.

Well I hope this car will be on the road by Thanksgiving and I hope to become a contributing member of this community!

Here is a picture of the car around 1977-1980.

Doug welcome aboard and nice ride... You might want to lube, drain all fluids and change all filters before you take here out and about.

Welcome! :hurray:

Welcome
X2 on the fluids.....save everything you take off......until you are sure you do not need it...and then save it a little longer......

Nice ride BTW

Oh he is real good at saving stuff, we have quite the stash of NOS parts still in boxes from 1975-1980...

welcome to team camaro!!!

Welcome to Team Camaro....

Welcome to the Club, Doug.

Soak the battery tray and fender with baking soda and water. I'm sure you & Dad know this then rinse with cold water. Thanksgiving will be here before you know it.

On another side note this car has the 302 and a M22 trans.

Another guy named Doug with a Camaro, go figure -- :D -- welcome to Team Camaro

Welcome Doug! That battery tray issue seems pretty serious. I think you should sell immediately before it becomes too bad :D:D:D

Seriously, sounds like a very nice ride!
