The Camaro of all Camaro's! korndogg 12-05-2006, 09:21 PM
Year : 1968 Make: Chevrolet Model: Camaro Color: Red. Original color was Tripoli Turquoise and it might be painted back to that someday with the black vinyl roof. Engine: Original 327 Small Block Chevy. I have no idea what is done to it because I havent pulled it yet. Drivetrain: 700r4 from a 88 IROC. 12 Bolt rear with 3.42's Exhaust: Longtube headers with Flowmaster mufflers. Suspension: PST front springs with 5 leaf PST rear springs. KYB shocks front and rear. Total PST front end rebuild. Wheels and tires: Front: 15x7 American Racing Hopsters with 235/60/15 Radial T/A Rear: 15x8 American Racing Hopsters with 275/60/15 Radial T/A Interior: Original Deluxe interior. Hurst floor (ratcheting/gate) shifter put in when tranny was swapped. Comments: I bought this car three years ago and I have been working on it ever since. I plan on pulling the motor soon and seeing what I'm working with. Eventually I would like to put a blower on the 327 because I don't see many blown 327's. I haven't taken it to the track yet but I plan to next year. This past spring I totally rebuilt all front end parts and suspension with PST parts. I plan on changing this car to a four wheel disc brake set up also in the future. Here are some pics. I have tons more including high res but these are my favorites. http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a201/korndogg03/DSC_0012.jpg http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a201/korndogg03/DSC_0071.jpg http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a201/korndogg03/DSC_0065.jpg http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a201/korndogg03/DSC_0054.jpg http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a201/korndogg03/DSC_0045.jpg http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a201/korndogg03/DSC_0032.jpg http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a201/korndogg03/DSC_0028.jpg http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a201/korndogg03/DSC_0019.jpg http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a201/korndogg03/DSC_0027.jpg http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a201/korndogg03/DSC_0016.jpg http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a201/korndogg03/DSC_0001.jpg 666_speed 12-05-2006, 09:43 PM Nice, I like it! poormillionaire2 12-05-2006, 09:43 PM Sweet lookin' ride. Sits a tad to high for my liking, but damn sexy nonetheless. And I didn't know you could fit 275's on an 8 inch wheel. 1986Z28 12-06-2006, 10:05 AM all i can say is KEEP ALL THE ORIGINAL PARTS! iroczman 12-06-2006, 02:01 PM thats one sweet first gen. but i agree with poormillionaire it looks like it sits a tad to high. other than that it bad ass Rally Sport 12-06-2006, 05:45 PM thats one sweet first gen. but i agree with poormillionaire it looks like it sits a tad to high. other than that it bad ass Same for me at first, but I think that it looks like it has more muscle/attitude/badassness because it sits that way. And I do remember Korndogg saying he was going to keep all the original parts incase he sells it. G-man422 12-06-2006, 05:59 PM Very nice. stieh2000 12-06-2006, 06:43 PM When you said Camaro of Camaros I was expecting a '69 427 Yenko or a ZL1 or Stage III Baldwin Motion or something else very special, rare, and fast. :frown: :lol: JK, love the pics :smokin: korndogg 12-06-2006, 07:35 PM Well first of all. I like how it sits. yes it is high but I think it looks badass as it sits now. Notice how I said "I" think it looks badass. Dont really care what anyone else thinks :) . Im not comming down on you guys but I hear it all the time like I dont know it sits high or something. Secondly, it will settle. The springs only have about 200-300 miles on them. And yes, I am not dumb. I am keeping all of the original parts. I have things in store for this car that I am not going to say at this point in time but hopefully will be done this comming year or the next. I do appreciate all of the opinions though. ikeyballz 02-08-2007, 04:49 AM very nice man. i love the ride height. i gotta say, i hate cars that are too low..i dont know why. the high stance sort of makes a car look like its about to pounce. i know the lowering is all for balance and whatnot and my cars already freain low to begin with, but damn. those old muscle car stances are unreal.
