The Flowmaster exhaust, oupled with the aggressive cam provides that lumpy muscle car idle and delightful rumble of a bygone era.This is a very good quality driver showing some wear from the past 13 years when a cosmetic makeover was undertaken.It is a radio delete car.The vehicle is nicely equipped with the front and rear spoiler, onsole with gages, achometer, lock, tandard interior, nd (the somewhat rare) folding rear seat.

Engine rebuilt in 2000at which time the engine was bored and honed along with many new parts. Documentation is available. An Edlebrock intake manifold replaces the original and a Holley 650 cfm double pumper replaces the Quadrajet. Also, solid-state distributor replaced the original point system.

The head stamp numbers on the engine indicate it was built in December 1968 and is the 300 hp 350. The VIN indicates a January 69 build (Norwood, H). This is a numbers matching car and I believe the entire drive train to be original to the car.

The car came with Corvette Rally wheels (15x8) that were in such a poor state they could not be salvaged. I replaced them with a non-correct 17x8 American Racing Torque Thrust wheel with 225/50R17 tires. I maintained the overall diameter of the factory F70-14 wheels and tires so the speedometer reads correctly. The paint still has good gloss after 15 years, he stainless is all present and accounted for and is in good condition. I also believe all glass is original to the car.All documentation mentioned above is included in the sale. Sale also includes the Fisher Body Service Manual, hassis Service Manual and the Camaro Assembly Manual.
