You might want to try Year One. Is this the actual car that was purchased or just the same model year? Congrats on your find!

Oh really.....I grew up in greenwood,TX but moved to odessa around 7 months ago because it was closer to work...But yeah its a great find i just didnt think i would run in to the kid that bought it

That is very cool. Hoping the restore goes as planned!

yea post some pics!! i got my camaro for 550 lol and its not in great shape. so if urs is anything like mine, then, yikes. of course, u probly have a bit more money than me(im in high school and lost my job) but im fixin it up. does it still run??

WICKEDSS · 02-11-2010, 10:11 AM

Yeah the car is out at my parents house right now...Im going out there tonight to pick up the eng block im going to use....I might have to email the pictures to someone to get them posted up.....But yeah your right the car is going to need some work...The tech that i work with is going to rebuild the trans for me for free!!!! so that will help out alot....And no it doesnt run it had the 305 TPI in it when i sold it and the kid pulled one head and the intake off and let it sit out side so im going to have to start fresh........From searching around most of the stuff for these cars are pretty cheap besides the T-TOP weatherstripn its like $90 bucks for one side...ouch!!!

But i have a pretty good income...If i can sell my jet ski and pay off a few loans ill have and extra 600 bucks a month that i can sink in to the car plus what i have left over after bills........so if things go the way i want them to id say maybe a year to a year in a half on the build.....**CROSSING FINGERS**
