Jack, Not many of us get to re-live a part of our past. You will enjoy the time you get to spend with one of your old toys.

Great story, congratulations. I bought my 1969 ss/rs back a few years ago that I drove in high school, also from the same guy I sold it too. For me, I was lucky because it's the car I had when I met my wife, so I didn't have too much explaining to do.

Jack, I had a brand new 69 big block SS Camaro when I was 18. That car was awesome. Dark green with dark green custom interior, dark green vinyl top. I traded it in 71 for a SS 454 Monte Carlo. I use to dream about that Camaro. I have no idea what happened to it. It's really cool that you got yours back.

I still have dreams about buying back my old '55 Hardtop, then, when I wake up remember that about 2 weeks after I sold it the guy flipped it and destroyed the car.
Glad your dreams came true! |

Jack: The 302 engines are fun, because you don't have to worry about RPMs especially on the street, the engine was built for 9k and you'll be lucky to get 7500 with stock valve springs even if you miss a gear. If anything, put a small roller cam in it so that you don't have to mess with solid lifters and camshafts going bad. (I guess with a roller, you might be able to get to 9k!) I've had nothing but 302's in my car since I've owned it, that's been a little while now.
