@@burnychaplin4601 Nah. Chevy's are demonstrably better. Hold up better, more power potential. That's why Ford didn't stick with the FE motors and copied the BBC with the 429/460. Even with those, you have to put BBC rods and other parts in them to make them last. Like the FE's as classics, but time has spoken, and the BBC is clearly the superior.

what Chevy did to the 69 Camaro was sickening

[@g00dl00kinb0i]

I have low mile 2002 SS, it may have electronics in it but it's still "garage" fixable for the most part. 2 weeks ago I took off my intake manifold for the first time after unplugging half a dozen sensors, EVAP hoses, 8 injectors, fuel injector lines and gently guiding it out all in less then 2 hours on an F-Body! My point ? Even some OBD/OBD2 cars can be fun/challenging to work on while offering a simple way to diagnose the problem when there is one. I work with metals and I'm not a car mechanic by any means but I've fixed complex engine issues on my Chevy I'd never thought I'd be capable of fixing myself, all thanks to the on-board computer's diagnosis. It's only thanks to computer calculations can a 4000lbs+ car get to 60mph in under 3 seconds these days, take them away and not much has changed really.

It has a manual shift turbo 400 and a 12 bolt posi with other enhancements. It outran a policeman in 1983. It needs to be restored but still runs great. It had a glass sunroof installed in it when I bought it. I have a convertible 66 as well with a 283 and a powerglide. It’s a good car to take on a trip but isn’t fast. I sometimes think about putting the 427 in it. My best friend told me to do that not long before he died in a vehicle accident. I don’t have to do what he said but it’s kind of an inspiration.

I now drive an Audi B7 RS4 (manual 6sp) and there is simply no comparison...I would feel I was driving a death trap if I stepped back into the Torana.....would be a cool cruising car and not much more now.

425bhp it's the big daddy of the classic camaros, COPO I believe. Insane power for a car from the 60s must light the rear wheels up like christmas trees.

[@1965l88]

L88 put out 430 hp at 5200 rpm, rated that way for insurance purposes. With headers and a good tune they actually put out 540-560 hp at around 6600-6700 rpm. I have one in a '65 Chevelle I built, with updated heads and a solid roller cam it puts out around 580-590 hp. They're beasts, any way you look at it. The COPO Camaros usually had the 450 hp (true rating) L72 in them, or (very rarely) the all aluminum ZL1, which put out identical power to the L88.

I enjoyed the ride, man that's a sweet car. My daddy was a chevy man. The car has great power, shifts smoothly. Good take off.

What a monster. I can’t keep coming back to this.

My first car was a 68 Camaro SS. My dad bought it wrecked for me when I was 15 and my brother in law and I put an engine in it, fixed the body and painted it. Would love to build another one.

[@rchavez5056]

Great freaking car. I just ordered all my body panels today for my 69 to have the body shop take care of the body work. I also have a 427 L88 but am really considering an LS. The 427 is awesome.

[@RetroClassicCar]

Right on! Best of luck with your build it sounds like its going to be great once its completed!

I picked up my date in a convertible 67 camaro SS. It has the 350, orange with white stripes and white and orange interior. That was a guarantee score at the end of the night 😅

[@AdamB12]

Like many others have said, the shade of blue on that is SO good. Looks good on any car, really.

[@jenkemjones68]
