What's wrong with this picture?

Bill,
If it is any consolation, even with one gen one Camaro in the stock final, they did not win. A Buick did though. I guess it just doesn't always pay to play the odds.

It's probably easier to count the pics without Camaros in them lol.

Joe,
The great looking 1970-1 Challengers and 'Cudas are the most versatile Mopars ever with seven engine options.
It's a shame we don't see more of them, but of course it's because they are worth a lot more then most Camaros.

Last I heard he was trying to build a slant 6 bracket car for local 1/8th mile tracks. He doesn't race with us, not sure why he is concerned about it.

[Ed Wright]

I'm thinking so. Lol

We (my brother, Neal, our partner Jim Loney and I) made a decision in 2006 to build a 69 Camaro for stock eliminator precisely because it was the most common combination and very well scienced out.

This was kind of a bucket list thing for us. We wanted to know if we non-automotive, non-professionals had the skill to build a competitive stocker, and choosing a one-off combo wouldn't prove it definitively. If the one-off didn't run well, was it our fault, or because the combo is poor? Conversely, if it flew, was it because we are such geniuses, or is the factor too soft?

It didn't hurt that we already owned a rolling Camaro body.

So what's the verdict?

[Tony Curcio]

A class win at the Dutch Classic in 2009 and a national record at Budds Creek in 2010 and top ten in G/SA on Nitro Joe's list every year we've tried, except this year.

I've checked that one off the bucket list.

Financially, building a '67-'69 Camaro makes sense. Everything you want or need is a click away from purchasing and plenty affordable. How much is a new repo grille for a '69 Camaro? I'll bet they are $150 range. An NOS grille for my '70 AMX is $1500 or more. A good used one with only a few broken tabs is at least $500. And with a Camaro engine, you can go to any machine shop in the country and have a good chance of successfully getting a decent engine built. Not so with the off the wall engines. The list goes on and on.

And then when you go to sell it, what brings in the most money in the least amount of time? What brings in a higher return on your investment? I see 1st gen Camaro's posted here and elswhere and they seem to bring good money; quickly, while others are on the market seemingly forever at greatly discounted prices. And that includes other GM products against the 1st gen Camaro.
