[@ellisonlowrimore7751]

I would keep it stock!! Please!! It’s an odd color combination but it’s cool and original!

[@capt.spaulding5858]

Keep it stock ! Butternut yellow,green interior and straight six. Everyone has a v8.not mant 6cyl left. Nice find. 🇺🇸

[@davidgalyean9116]

Love those original 250 cylinder with automatic

[@Turteng]

I wouldn't even restore it, but just mend it mecanically and drive it as it is, all original

[@therustyduck5400]

Way to clean and rust free to do anything other than take it back to complete original paint/interior. Like you said, not too many of those inline 6's left. Very cool.

[@V8TV]

True statement! We'll see how what returns from the media blaster...

[@kfh1]

My very first car was a 77 Camaro, Type LT Rally Sport with a 250 Inline 6, and a 3 speed manual transmission. It was a fun car that everyone seemed to like. I put on about 80k on it over the four years I owned it, and it was still running great when I sold it.

[@bobbyviti7794]

NO LS....KEEP6!

[@jasoncouchman8629]

@@bobbyviti7794 your wasting your breath. People are so obsessed with the ls it's sickening.

[@scottrasmussen8258]

My vote is to restore it to the way it was when it left the factory, including the green interior!

[@RL-RL]

Keep as original as possible! Fix the minor rust, respray it, keep the engine and interior the way it rolled off the assembly line!

[@Steverinomeister]

I have a 59 Biscayne 2 door sedan 235/3 speed 100 percent unrestored. People expect it to be LS’d and most people are thrilled to see it hasn’t been messed with like the other 99 percent have. Save a little history, leave it stock.

[@D64-g8l]

Being that it is in such good original condition, I would keep the 6 in it and restore to its former glory. If it was in bad shape I would have opted to go more to dropping an LS instead. Great little Camaro. I hope it gets a second chance at life on the road . Thanks for sharing ! 😊

[@marinablueGS]

In 1972 I had a beige 67 Camaro with a 6 cylinder and 3 speed manual trans. It had red line tires and a black stripe around the front. Very clean low mileage car. Wish I had kept it.

[@oi32df]

3 on the tree ?

[@marinablueGS]

@@oi32df no, floor shift.

[@timmatheny-lo9ze]

Keep the six. I’ve had several in 66 C10. 65 bel air. 71 nova. Reliable, easy maintenance. Not everyone is into all that power.

[@christopherprince3250]

Keep the 6 and green interior. Original all the way.

[@bobbyviti7794]

NO LS... KEEP 6!

[@louislepage5111]

Nice score!! ,keep it stock please 😊

[@jeffhamlin7328]

IL 6s need love too 👍

[@82lube]

my 69 had the 250 with the AWESOME 3 SPEED MANUAL IN THE FLOOR

[@rrmech11]

Hey Kevin In-six camaro to cool. My friend in high school had one. Another friend had a in-line six firebird with the overhead cam engine

[@V8TV]

That Pontiac OHC Sprint 6 is a cool engine. We'd leave that in there for sure!

[@mikkokuorttinen3113]

Great video with awesome project to start with! I'd like to see the 327 or 302 uder the hood, no LS

[@grabasandwich]

Wouldn't even restore it. I won't dare use the P word, but that paint is in good enough shape, that the car has so much life left that deserves to be used as it came from the factory. Ok, maybe a front disc upgrade. Everything swap's been done to death.

[@scrappy7571]

Agree, just make it road worthy reliable. And enjoy driving it.

[@jecst45]

I would like to see it restored to stock, with the exception of modifying the inline 6 for more performance, perhaps with a turbo.

[@charlesdalton985]

I'd keep it stock, maybe some subtle warming up of the engine (with careful pickling of the original parts). Like you said, when you see one of these at a car show, it always draws a crowd. In the end, it's up to the person whose name is on the title. Thanks for sharing, hope we get to follow along ~ Chuck

[@tacocin]

keep the 6

[@RobertG_]

Keep everything original! This car's value is the originality from aged paint to the base model 250 6cyl engine. I would be interested in purchasing this car if the owner would sell it.

[@mikerooney7928]

Leave it alone!!! Make it mobile! Keep it Original!

[@doolallyproductions7234]

Before I would say pull that straight 6 out, but now I say get that thing rebuilt and add a cam, holley 4 barrel and header

[@markweber7275]

Six is interesting BUT my vote is a 327.

[@Formulabruce]

10Si Alternator, and a HEi from a late 70's 250 will make it very reliable and affordable

[@johnkizziah108]

My dad bought a new 67 Camaro 6 cylinder 3 on the tree. My brother still has it.

[@kenkamins9364]

Hey Kevin! Whats the sales code for the air freshener?

[@barriobajaj]

Keep the 250 six.

[@AnnatarTheMaia]

I'd put a Duramax V8 with a revised Tremec manual transmission and a diesel particulate filter - no coal rolling! And I'd keep the Green interior, that's so unique and good looking.

[@QuentinWoodard-m9t]

LS IT!!

[@chaddavis7228]

Id hop up the inline 6

[@reginofung6028]

Could put a turbo to that 6.

[@nscavo]

Very cool Car! I can understand keeping it historically accurate, but boy that would be hard for me to do. It would wind up having a big block in it with a stick shift.

[@V8TV]

It would be a great candidate for that. And a few other tricks! 😀

[@keithmedovich6889]

3 on the tree would be a good choice

[@lee161a]

The leaf spring solid axle would go, in favor of some kind of IRS. The front suspension, that goes also, along with drum brakes and the recirculating-ball steering. Less interested the engine, but fuel injection and a bump in power would be nice.

[@flyntmyrick6291]

They are only original once; keep the factory paint and the straight six!

[@ALABAMAHEADHUNTER]

Had a friend that had a Firebird and it had one of those weird 6 cylinder Pontiac engines in it. I can't think of it's designation right now.

[@MichaelClarke-wk6ws]

It's either the OHC 6 or the Sprint 6. Sprint package had higher compression and 4 barrel Quadrajet carb.

[@nickbruni8041]

To the owner.., It’s only original ONCE ! Save the 80 k that You might drop on the resto .. Just have em buff the OG paint out … Rebuild the 6 … And cruise it forever more….. ( they asked)🤘🏼🍻

[@Fourrings80]

Keep it original.

[@GeneBossaller]

Keep the car with the six and the green interior. I drive a restored 61 Impala Convertible with a 235 ci with 2-speed. Keep the rarity as is.

[@davidklauer3422]

See you at SEMA Kevin

[@V8TV]

For sure!

[@Brian-if8gf]

L76 with M20 or TKX

[@413x398]

Coyote swap! Hey, it's a two-way-street, ya know.

[@ronaldthomanjr.8309]

Keep it original.

[@phoenixblack1220]

Ehh, do something different, put a 426 Hemi in it with a Shaker hood scoop. That would make it a bit interesting…

[@garyslentzii2796]

Build the six like they do the 4s. If they can get 4-500 hp out of those, why can't you with a 6 cyl. Turbo with fuel injection. Saw one from Tony that rips in a pick up truck

[@martinpettibone6044]

Keep original paint too

[@carterbland7117]

I had a 79 trans Am. I'm sorry you have to put a big block in it

[@kiheirc3195]

Super interesting car so look forward to this build! But I d put an LS in it.

[@oi32df]

Here's what to do with this six: Short track grind 290 camshaft High Lift Springs Chrome Moly Retainers Chrome Moly Pushrods Holley 390 cfm carb Tuned headers HEI ignition HD Valve Locks

[@allantaylor3288]

Restore it and leave the original 6cyl in it please

[@theamateurbackyardgardener543]

My 68 is a 6…..anyone can have an 8.

[@cameronturner7475]

I'd just clean it up. Maybe clear coat it. Fix what's wrong and leave it as is.

[@jamesblair9614]

LS, SBC and BBC have been done to death, what can a person possibly do that hasn’t been done and seen a million times already. Stick with the six, put a Muncie behind it, and stay away from all the aftermarket brake, suspension and steering kits, if you want upgrades, use factory replacement parts.

[@davidmackenzie5403]

350 hp small block keep it real

[@tomklar4545]

Do not resto mod it. There are NONE of these sraight six cars left, they have all been destroyed. Restore it correct and it will be worth a lot more than a mod engine swap custom color car.

[@earldiamond3315]

Keep the 6, to many colons and over priced over restored cars. All cars deserve to put back to original specks I saw more none muscled up cars then hopped up heaps.

[@lynzcamaro]

Im the original owner of a 69 Camaro with a 250 inline 6 with the 3 speed manual on the floor that I looked at rebuilding all original NOS, than to put a 496 stroker with fuel injection, TH400 with a manual valve body and hurst ratchet shifter and a built posi 9 inch it was only a few hundred more and I know I can drive it fast without worrying about hurting it
