1971 Chevrolet Camaro

Current Status - October 2002

In the garage.

As mentioned something is wrong with the gearbox, only runs in first gear. Since automatic gearboxes are a complete mystery to me, I believe the best solution will be to throw in a TH700-R4 into it. I really need that overdrive.

Apart from the gearbox problem this car has been running like a charm since I bought it June 2001. Well, some people might consider "like a charm" a bit misleading and would probably replace it with "like hell" or some other profanity. I don't mind...

It might not look like much, but it's pretty decent actually. 355 with a Comp Cams Xtreme Energy 274H cam, Performer RPM, Holley 750DP without choke (too easy otherwise), MSD ignition and other assorted goodies. Observe the beautiful pink cable on the left-hand side that some previous owner installed for the stereo. Really fits well.

Basically I have not done much to this car except throwing in a stereo (which makes me deaf at any speed above 80 km/h since you have to crank up the volume pretty bad) and this summer my father helped me (Muchos Gracias!) build a new exhaust system since the old one was hanging down way too much. (And was making me deaf...)
