1969 Camaro Pro Street 6-71, Project Car 90% Complete

This is my project Pro-Street Camaro. which I started in 1991 and have been working on ever since.   I'm selling it because it's a bit too radical for me now. and would like to use the money elsewhere.

 I purchased the car as stock locally and refurbished it with the help of an experienced paint & body man. who added (& modified) new quarters. tubs. cage. painted jams/dash/cage. etc.   The rear was professionally shortened & set up.   The suspension was set up by a local performance shop a couple of years ago.

 The 385cid engine was built last year by a local performance engine builder. so it's new with maybe only an hour of run time on it.   It's a properly-built modern stroker - check out the video below (the exhaust note is much louder than my video camera mic would pick up).   I had it set up conservatively with the timing and a bit rich just to break it in. but as you can see it runs beautifully and makes plenty of power. and with some minor tuning should crank out somewhere around 500-550hp on pump gas.   You could swap out the blower pulley to increase the boost and run on racing gas to make even more power.

 I've invested around $30k in the car. not counting maybe 2000 hours of my own time. but I want to sell and will accept a reasonable bid for less. This is a good car. just needs the right owner.   Here's the details:
