  Hi this is my Camaro I have had it for over 4 years now and I have enjoyed evey day of it. When I got it {I found it in a barn} it had only 26000 miles on the clock, this is how the story goes. The guy that had got it from new had drivin around in it for a year or two then with the fuel prices going up and up he made up his mind to go drag racing so he pulled the car of the road and started building the car to go fast, anyway in the 80s he gave up and gave it to a friend to get it done and after his friend had finish the job it sat in his workshop for about 10 years and that is were my mate found it and bought and got it back to New Zealand were he raced it for two years when he got under the 10s he gave up and parked it in his barn and left it there I knew he had

for a number of years but he would not sell it but about 4 years ago he gave in and I got it, it did not have the big block in it that had done the quik times so we built a good small block and put that in and that where we were up to Xmass time and I got bored so I made it in to a CHAPARRAL CAMARO rep. I guess I have aways like the TRANS-AM racing and this way I can walk into my shed and there it is my very own trans-am car.
Right now I am getting it back on the road this is a slow thing for me to do but I will get there and when this is done I will have a very cool car, it does go out on the roads evey now and then {but don't tell the cops} and it is a joy to drive. Here are just some of the things that have been done to it .oh by the way she has only got 27500 mile on the clock now

750 HOLLY CARB, 
TEAM G MANAFOLD,
BOWTIE HEADS,
CRAN GOLD ROLLER ROCKERS,
FORGE PISTONS,
HIGH FOLW OIL PUMP,
CARTER FUEL PUMP,
3500 STILL,
400T TRANS WITH A FULL MANUAL VALVE BODY,
CUSTOM DRIVE SHAFT,
DANA 60 LSD (FROM A BIG BLOCK HEMI) WITH 4,11 RICHMEN GEARS,
NEW KONI SHOCKS,
FULL ROLLCAGE,
LOTS AND LOTS OF SPARES.

THIS CAMARO HAS BEEN IN NZ FOR OVER 10 YEARS AND HAS NEVER BEEN ON THE ROAD. AS A RACE CAR IT HAS BEEN 9.7 ON THE 1/4 MILE WHEN IT HAD THE 454 IN IT.

IN THE CAMARO RESTORATION HANDBOOK IT IS ON THE LIST FOR "ONE TO WATCH" AS GREATEST APPRECIATION POTENTIAL. THIS ONE IS ONE OF 2575 MADE AND THAT MAKES IT A VERY RARE CAR.

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THIS CAR FEEL FREE TO ASK .bryankiwi's 1972 Chevrolet Camaro bryankiwi's 1972 Chevrolet Camaro

I was in a burnout demo at the New Zealand motorshow I was very happy with the way the car went 7000rpm in top gear.
