The hood ornament looks like it's from a '54, no?
@genedumas39562 жыл бұрын
Well, I had to look it up as I have a '54 Star Chief. It is very similar, an airplane motif without the feathers like they had in '52 and the double feathers in '53. I had a '53 in my yout'. I had to search for non-ethanol fuel recently as ethanol is not good for these old carburetors.

I had one of those, a four door, when I was a kid. I traded my 56 Chevy for that and 15 bucks. Now I wish I had of kept both of them. I got rid of the Pontiac and bought a 53 MG. LOL! Paid 65 dollars and a 22 pistol for it. If I knew then...... LOL!

Hello Duder... nice car. I like that under the hood the correct hose clamps are used on the hoses, and the period style battery..its the little details like that that make the difference. I myself would have kept the Firestone's for original look, but I gotta say the TA,s are a very good choice for appearance and handling. Darn Nice car. Thanks for sharing it.

UPDATE... I found a guy in Dayton, Ohio who ended up driving 2 1/2 hours to my home in Kentucky 6 times and we got the engine installed and the car runs great now with no smoke. The reason he had to come here so many times was because I kept getting the wrong parts for it. The dumbass at Kentucky Clutch sold me the wrong disc, the guy at the auto parts store sold me the wrong gaskets, etc. Anyway, it runs fine now....

stock they are fairly quick but you cant expect extreme performance out of it. they get out of the hole decently and have a top end that you should even try to drive it at on a public highway. for a daily driver, they are fast enough and the gas mileage is not terrible. start modding it, gas mileage...... forget about it

I just picked up a 97 Z28 in the exact same color, I just hit 69k miles on it, power everything, only mine does have T-tops, I didn't want them, but I am lucky enough that they don't leak, as I found out in a hard rain storm, I had a broken trans mount I replaced, it does have a cold air intake from k&n from the previous owner, good speakers and an amp, corvette rims painted black, and they are massive. and I am fortunate to have him put some heavy duty suspension mods, it handles on ramps at 47 on bald run flats, just got goodyear F1 tires for it so I will see what it can do now. I love the car man! what do you have planned for it?

+DDay23100 i have a 96 and i think the t-top design is actually the best of all camaros on the 4th gens. i had an 89 which is a third gen as well. 4th gens have a seal on the car and a rubber seal on the t top itself, i think they did make improvements in the design of the tops
@DDay231009 жыл бұрын
they are an improvement I agree but it is still a little typical that they leak, not a waterfall but some drips here and there, I like my 97 and it treats me well with everything, when the water leaks in just driving gets it out and a serious downpour is what makes them drip a little
