Time to build another car. This car is street legal. I have posted four short videos on photobucket at http://s499.photobucket.com/albums/rr356/bartolli_24/1968%20Camaro/ to see video, copy this link and paste to your browser. One shows a cold startup the others taken going down the road. Notice the one video taking it up in third gear speedometer is at 80 and I backed off. Car was still pulling and one gear to go. This Car is Nasty. I bought this 1968 Camaro as a rolling chassis, no drive train, no interior, because it is not a SS or RS I built something different. I started out making a Penske Trans Am clone. As I got near the end of the build, I decided to paint it red instead, using Limco ( BASF ) single stage urethane paint. The color is Dr. Pepper trademark red that’s where #23 comes from. Some pictures show Pepper racing on the front fender it is now Chevrolet racing. Complete frame off restoration. Underside has been painted with black epoxy. Lettering is vinyl and can be removed. The motor has no power adders, very strong running car. Car has 700 miles on it since finished. Over a year ago I retired to Ga. and went to eight shows and won six trophies from best of show, best modified, best hot rod, best Chevrolet, best 60s car, and top 15. The car is very detailed as the pictures show. Almost every nut and bolt is stainless steel. This car turns heads wherever I go. Motor: 350ci .030 over - 4 bolt main.
