The Project

A ’69 Camaro goes from major project to show-stopper in 6 years flat

I’ve owned this Camaro for the past eleven years– I purchased it at the Spring Daytona swap meet in March of 2002. I had decided I wanted a project car to work on as I had always wanted a ‘69 Camaro for that exact purpose. My plan was to work on the project as funds became available. I thought that it could take as little as five years, (depending on the condition of the car, of course). As I walked around the Daytona swap meet that day it looked like I wasn’t going to find my project car. All the Camaros were already restored and were commanding as much as $40,000.
