1st Gen Camaro Owners raise your hands
 

yea anyone that owns a 1st gen camaro leve your name and a post im curious how many people have a 1st gen

I wish i had one but sadly they are just too expensive now. I ll just wait for that day when someone throws 30 grand in my lap.:D

One here. Dad is owner #1 and #4 :D

me too 1967 camaro buternut yellow black ss strips hopefull all done with frame off by xmas

my 1969 camaro is on a rotisserie in my garage,I would like to do the sheet metal work myself,
My 1980 z-28,4-speed only has 69000 miles on it and i dont want to molest too much..

How about a '67 bird with a 400? Not a Camaro but as close as it gets. Its the one in my profile picture and was last dyno tested at about 475hp.

i will have a 1969 ss when im 21 lol till than i only sit in it

1967 SS here

I have a 68 camaro 327 red black stripes. Will post a pic one day :)

I have a 68 rs 327 green with silver racing stripes. It has seen better days but hopefully someday soon I'll give it a complete make over. I just don't know what I should do first... get the new one comming out or restore the old one? Anybody with some advice?

Unless you plan on caring for it like it was made of glass, I would reccommend getting the 5th gen, and keeping the 68 for later...

It depends on how deep your checkbook goes honestly :D

That 68 will be worth more than most 5th gens down the road :D

No kidding. You will probably spend well over 50k to restore a 1st gen not to mention the hundreds if not thousands of hours you will have to put into the resto...

IM IN MY 67 ALMOST 28,000 AND STILL GOING CRAZY BUT IT IS FUN MY WIFE CALLS IT A MONEY PITT LOL

I've got a maroon 69 w/ a healthy 454, 9 inch rear, coated Hooker Competition headers, and a 3 inch Flowmaster exhaust. I also have a blue 69 w/ white stripes, 850 horse 509 (Brodix heads, titanium valves, 1250 dominator, 14:1 compression, Lunati stroker kit, coated Super Competition headers, 4" exhaust), 9 inch rear, 4:56 gears, TT-IIs, drag radials, and a legal license plate. Fun car.

And I don't talk to my wife about money and old cars.

Just something about those first three years.....

any one here know any body that have parts for a 67 camero? need complte interior

first gen
 

I am the PROUD owner of a 1968 Camaro, I belong to a car club in my area that has over 25 first gen's in it.

Uhhhhh.......My wife has a first gen Mustang???????

Those can be pretty bad ass too.:headbang:

I love it. It's a Raven Black '65 GT fastback with the original A-Code 289 in it. It gets compliments wherever it goes from all sorts of people and is a blast to drive. It needs a few things here and there, and it definitely needs some bigger wheels and tires for daily driving(It has the stock 14x5s with the pizza-cutter red line tires on it. Those will be kept for shows.), but that's what makes it so fun to have. It really brought me and the wife together on the car hobby thing. She was actually looking at an Evo or STi, along with a few other new cars when I found it on the internet and showed it to her. Next thing I know I'm on three-way calling from Kuwait with the dealer and my wife. Two days later she drove it home from Maryland with no problems. It is definitely staying in the family for good. Anyways, sorry to hijack a Camaro thread with tales of a Mustang. Please continue.

First post, AWESOME site!:thumbup:

Try Rick's First Generation for parts. They have just about everything and they only deal in Gen 1 Camaro's. If you get the chance, stop into their shop just outside Atlanta. I went through them for just about everything on my '68.

Welcome to the site! Hope you enjoy it. Lots of good members who like to help each other out just like you're doing here.:thumbsup:

I paid $2,200 for my 69. I bought it from the original owner in Colorado Springs, 30 yrs to the date after he bought it from Daniels Chevy. 7/30/99.
BTW, the owner was 93 yrs old and it was his wife's car who passed away 10 yrs earlier.

I did have to invest mucho $$ to restore and it took 3 yrs because I did most of the work on her.

I have the protecto plate, owners manual and paper work that came with it. And yes it is all original. I did do some mods like the wheels, carb and intake but kept the original parts.

The moral of the story is this...the proverbial "car in the barn" stories are still out there....you just have to keep looking and maybe you too can get lucky.

Good grief, that is gorgeous!!!

:bs: :bs: :bs: :bs: :bs: :bs: :bs:

Merf calls BS. :eek:

Think we need some pictures!:thumbsup:

Ohh, not often we get to use:

:needpics:

I have a '69. Some of you have seen the pic. But it's in my sig. Minus the cartoon blower and tires.

Thanks again Tag and Z28! Yes Z28, it's a 350 with TH350 and 10 bolt rear containing 3.55:1 gear. Originally it had 2.56:1 highway gear from hell which made it very hard to do this :burnrubber: I had Flowmaster 30 series installed, converting to dual exhast, after the engine was rebuilt. I replaced the front springs with Eibach which lowered about 3 inches. I had to cut one coil off to get the desired stance. Then I removed the original, rusted multi-leafs and upgraded with a pair from Classic Industries that lowered the rear 1.5". She sure does corner more aggressively now!!

I must say that moving from Colorado to the east coast has improved the engines performance. Much more oxygen at sea level than at 6,000 feet!

:burnrubber: Anyone here ever do hole shots into their garage??:burnrubber:

I have a 1969 RS/SS Convertible that did not have the original motor, so I decided to dump in a 502 Ram Jet in there last summer along with updated tranny, brakes, suspension, steering, etc. Daytona yellow with black stripes.

I have a 69 ss 350 with a 4 speed.
