the replacement

ok guy's I know this isn't about the Camaro but you've all seen the earlier post and I am considering this as new addition since i'm (through no fault of my own) missing something. not sure I want to jump back into racing due to cost, but opinions welcome. and yes it was featured in the magazine

the replacement

how is this for replacement? you all saw my last thread and know what's missing. not too sure I want to start racing again but ain't it cool. and yes it was in the magazine as the pic shows, that's how it was sent to me.
any thoughts?

im guessing you wrecked your 2014? This should be perfect for replacing your muscle! The car should be inspected first for any rust and wear before you buy it though. Check wiring, underbody, and see if he has any photos of the restoration. If he does you're set! ...wish my car did wheelies...

Worse yet... Wayne's beautiful '67 SS got wrecked! For many many years, a '67 Chevelle SS has been my dream car. I've loved Camaros since '67 also, but I always figured I'd find a way to get one (which I have), but a stock pristine '67 Chevelle SS (although I could afford to get one) would not be a prudent purchase for an old retire fart.

this one is just as clean if not more. one thing I like is notice it's NOT tubbed. interior is all there just not sure about the drag racing starting back up but I can tell you, nothing brings a bigger smile than looking at the sky when you leave!

Made me laugh. That picture is really worth 1000 words or more. Good luck with the decision.

Wayne,
Looks like a great replacement, as you know on this beast I would check out the drivetrain real well. Is this one a 396 too?
Good luck

oh no, 565 inch big block with powerglide and pro brake. man you don't have to double check cars like these much, back when we ran the car had the best of everything and this is easy to spot. that's on motor too, wait till I gas it
