Bought the car on New Years eve 2009 after I bailed out of my '69 Camaro project. Original owner was a Vietnam Helicopter pilot/mechanic so the car was in good shape aside from the primer, worn suspension, and worn drivetrain. Even the cigarette lighter worked!

So I tore it down and rebuilt the suspension, relocated the shocks, rebuilt the engine and trans, swapped in the rear and redid the brakes, etc etc. Basically it was stock when I got it, so if it's a part and it's not stock I did it.

Hit the road with it in the spring of 2011 and it drives and handles great. Very flat around corners even with the 15" tires. However I am rethinking the 4.11 gears with no OD.
