Stuart Adams' ALUMN8R

[Belair62]

1969 RS Camaro

Named: ALUMN8R

Bought car from Charley Lillard as a very nice ZL 1 clone. I guess it would still be somewhat of a ZL 1 clone because of all the aluminum parts. Its now a ZL 1 on steroids! The car has been built with a pro-touring type theme and built to drive fast with the air conditioning on and the CD playing. Charley has a VERY nice 69 Camaro named the MULE, which was some of the inspiration behind this project. I am very happy with the setup and look forward to putting some fun miles on.
