If you are looking for a stock, umbers matching car, on’t waste your time here. This is as far from that as can be, ut don’t blame me if this car makes a stocker look plain and leaves it in the dust. Even a 396 LS5 can’t touch this. The car is located in Huntsville, labama. We bought/traded for this car in the Summer of 2008 and over the course of next 7 years, ’ve spent a ton of money and time to make what you see today. The car came from the Seattle Washington area. I'm 58 years old. My hobby is restoring old Muscle cars and been doing that for 30 years. I’ve built many cars but this one was for my wife. She has decided that with her limited time, he would rather sell the car and take the money to modernize her kitchen and do a few other things. We have plenty of other show cars. Never thought I’d see this day, ut here goes.
HISTORY:The car came out of Seattle and I know a bit about the 2 previous owners. The car started its life as a plain Jane 1970 Camaro. It was a rust free body and not a split bumper. The first owner, tripped the car and as the owner of a body shop, pent several year trying to perfect a GM Camaro. Although the car was painted 15 years ago, t looks like it just came out of the booth. The car was painted, ut and buffed many time over with several layers of clear. The paint and body are phenomenal. All the front end pieces to the split bumper were completed, ainted and wrapped, ot installed. The guy finally came to terms he was never going to finish it, s he had spent too many years piddling with it, o he sold it to the next guy (who I got it from) who owned a car shop where he dropped in a motor that was built to the same specs as the 2008 Small Block Engine competition winner. My wife and I traveled from Alabama to Washington hauling an enclosed trailer and another car as part trade and brought it home. It made for a wonderful cross country road trip. So basically, had a finished shell and a motor, couple of old seats and a steering shaft. From there the transformation of all wiring, ash, nterior, emaining drive train and assembly began. I have a full catalog of pictures through the build and receipts for the parts. Don’t ask me how much I spent as I am sure is more than double what I’ll get in the sale. Once assembled, y wife and I have driven the car ~150 miles in the past 5 years primarily to car shows and to Church on a few really nice days and it’s been in my heated/cooled showroom. During these past 5 years, uch more work has been done to fine tune the car to make it more drivable and/or to just make it handle and run better.
Exterior (9.5/10):- Cooperhead Pearl (PPG) – awesome gloss overall in show room condition see pics
o There are 4 small things that needs attention I’ll try to picture them
§ 2 are places where the trunk got closed to hard and it chipped a 1 cm piece of paint right in the corners.
§ We overtighted one of the corner spoiler parts too tight and it cracked the fiberglass
§ On the lower tail panel I made a 4” scratch with a jack stand removing it too fast.
- Show winner many times - including best paint and best motor.
- Boyd Coddington wheels are excellent and set off the car with natural ‘ole school rake to the front and a very nice and progressive stance. Having adjustable QA1s help with the setup.
- All Split bumper pieces were individually painted. It looks perfect
- Panel alignment can still be improved a little, s anyone who does body work knows, arly Camaros were not known for perfect dimensions and spacing.
- “0” rock chips on the front or hood or sides (maybe one or two behind the fat rear tires
- No rust anywhere with pictures to prove the condition of the bare floors, runk and underside

On Jan-16-16 at 18:39:47 PST, eller added the following information:Notes Added 1-16-2016:
Took the car out today for the first time in several months. She ran just fine. Sat in the garage listening to the stereo and wishing I had it in my Daily Drivers. Had a few messages, 'll be glad to answer any questions you may have. I do not want to sell this car to someone who has any second thoughts. Pictures do not do it justice. The actual mileage on the Odometer is 105. The scratch on the lower tail panel is 1.5" long, ot 4" as described earlier. I have a little extra paint from the original mixture. Also have the formulas, f that is ever needed in the future. I can't load more pics so text me your e-mail or send me your e-mail address and I'll forward pics of anything you want to see. The ignition is MSD 6AL with a MSD Billet Distributor with magnetic advance using a quick curve (I think blue springs). The car was a labor of love and I'd hope the next owner will adore it as much. The car is not perfect, ut pretty darn close. Actually, 've never seen a perfect car. Everyone has their preferences to loudness, eatures, tripes...etc.
Update Jan 20th - A few questions and texts have come asking for some specific information, o I'll share those for everyone...
1 - The hood is steel and painted/finished in high quality on the underside just like the topside. I have the insulation pads, f someone wanted to make the interior/motor sound quieter.
2 - Is the car loud? Yes, n a scale of 1-10 (0 sound to open header racing), would rate it as a 6, ut that is subjective. The car has a 2.5inch dual exhaust with magna-flo mufflers with headers. If you want it quieter, t's fairly inexpensive to make it what you want. You romp on it and you will hear, eel and know the power. It will impress anyone withing a nice radius. Neighbors love me, s many of them are car buffs. They know when I bring out the cars and get them all started up at the same time. Sounds like Talladega after those famous three words, Start Your Engines".. :)
3 - Do I have a title and has the car been wrecked. Yes, have the clear title from the previous owner in Washington. Alabama does not title cars that are older than 1975. There is nothing on the car that would indicate is has ever been in a wreck or even dented. and I have been over every square inch (inside out, nderside, ender wells, .etc)
4 - Will I take a trade on Vintage Race car or Viper or Vette..No, orry, ut I have too many cars and this car is being sold for money to upgrade the kitchen (serious upgrade) and to buy a few things I need. If you have a nice enclosed trailer or an old farm truck or a Saturn we can use to pull behind a motor home, will take this as part trade. I might consider a clean unmolested 3rd Gen but it would need to be special and not valued over 8k towards the purchase.
5 - Does the car leak any fluids? I don't think in the 40 years I've been playing with older cars especially ones more than 30 years old that I have seen one not leak a drop of any fluid unless it was dry or low compression and had never been run. Rear and front main oil seals, alve covers, ll will leak a little when a car sits for months on end and the seals start to dry. It's almost impossible to avoid even when using the best of Felpro gaskets. Actually a daily driver is less likely to develop a leak just because the seals are constantly heated and moistened from the oil. So, es, fter you drive the car, ou can likely find a drop here or there, ut there are no major leaks. If there were, he underside of the car would be coated with oil and it is clean. If you find a major leak, will fix it or pay to fix it, ut this is not a modern car. Yes many things are using modern technology, ut it is still a 46 year old car.
6 - The Hyroboost brake system does not leak (it is a sealed system). It was a real challenge and took a couple of times to get the Teflon braided hoses and Aeroquip connectors to seal properly. But they are doing great and you will find the Braking is very nice and balanced and does feel modern as with the steering.
Good luck bidding and please forward any questions or send me emails if you want pics of anything specific.
