My Work in Progress
RichieB16's 1969 Chevrolet CamaroRichieB16's 1969 Chevrolet Camaro

I bought this 1969 Camaro for $8500 in September of 2003, three months after I graduated from high school. It has a fairly new GM Goodwrench 350 under the hood, it has about 30,000 miles on it but it's really underpowered. It also has a stock T/H 350 transmission. The interior is the original standard blue which shows heavy use. Overall, it's in very good shape for it's age but it needs some work.

As I previously said, this is a work in progress. Each page here displays different aspects of the car. There is a page index below which shows what is on each page.

The main page will show up to date general pictures of the car. To see more detail, check out the other pages.

Recently, I purchased a new motor for the Camaro. Although the 350 is still a young engine since it has so few miles, I wanted something with a little more power. So, I purchased a 396 for the car. More information can be found about this motor on the "Restoration" page. The 350 that is currently in the car is pictured on the left and the new 396 is on the right:

This is a photo of me standing beside my car at the 2005 Father's Day Car Show at a local retirement home in my area. At this small car show I recieved my first trophy with my car; it was a sponsor trophy. So, this is me standing next to my car proudly holding my trophy

This is an original 1969 Camaro ad from the July 1969 issue of Car and Driver Magazine which has been framed; I display it with the car at shows.

Great looking 69! With those rims, it kind'a looks like the Yenco clone they wrecked in "Fast and furious II". Sweet ride!
