Muscle Car on Powerblock on Spike

Hey guys,

I don't know if anyone else watches Powerblock on Spike but on Muscle Car today the guys picked up a base model 307 69 Camaro and are tearing it down to turn it into a COPO ZL1 using the 50th anniversary Chevy 427 ZL1 Crate Engine.

Thought I might give you guys a heads up. They didn't do too much today. They just removed the the badging, the trims and bumperettes.

This build will probably take a few weeks to complete should be interesting.

There is a guy north of Denver who will build you a replica COPO for @ $50-60K

I'd love to get a hold of a decent 1st Gen Camaro to tinker with. Maybe some day.
