New to the forum

[YenkoSC]

Just wanted to drop in and say hi. I have been browsing the forum and decided too join up. A bit about me. I am 14 (turning 15 in a month) but don't let the age deceive you. My Dad has been into cars since he was 13 (He is now 56) I have taken a liking to American muscle, My favourite being the first gen Camaro's. I have researched into these cars with the help of my Dad and know a lot about them.

My Dad owns:

1967 Camaro RS/SS 350/295HP L48:

He bought the car on the 14th of June 1980, drove it once to his house and has never driven it since. It's in need of a resto but all the parts are there waiting to be put on and the car is going to be sprayed back to original Ermine white. The car has had a shonky RHD conversion done in the 80's. When we do restore it, A firewall tidy up is going to happen (A lot like blackoutsteve) This car will stay completely original except for RHD.

1969 Camaro 350/255HP LM1:

We bought this car off my uncle (Dad's brother) a few weeks ago. He has had it since the 90's just sitting in our shed. The car needs some body work and a fresh coat of paint. It will be brought back to Frost Green. The car is a completely original, numbers matching car.

1977 LX Torana:

My dad has had this since the 80's. He has completely restored it and put a 350 Chev in it. Most of my childhood memories of muscle cars has been in this car. It is currently de-registered and we want to put the 308 and Aussie 4-speed back into it so it will pass emissions.


My uncle( Who we bought the 69 Camaro off) also has another 2 Camaros (67, 69), 4 Corvettes (62,65,66,67), A Porsche and a Triumph and my other uncle has a 60's Merc. So you can say my Dad's family are car fanatics.

Anyways, That's all for now. I hope to see some of you soon at Big Al's Poker Run. I would love to see your Camaro's.
