That just looks goofy /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

[JChlupsa]

goofy yes but one would be right at home after a 6 pack of beer and driving on the wrong side of the road /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

[JoeC]

would be good for newspaper delivery /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Maybe Lance Armstrong could use it to help promote his sponser US Postal Service. Can see it now, 69 Camaro ripping up and down the back country gravel roads delivering mail

/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif Could you imagine opening up the hood first ?? How did the brake booster get over there ??? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif

It would probably take me a week to realize that I didn't have to climb over the console to get out of the car /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Looks to me like what happens when you go to get re-prints made from negatives, and the photo processor puts the negative in backwards. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Pretty neat Joe, you even got the guys with the beers reversed /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif

Kevin,

I thought that too, but it looks like all the Camaro scripts in the interior shot are going the right way and the gas pedal is in the right place...

I know they shipped/produced cars for Europe, but I thought they were all left hand drive. They were made in Antwerp, Belgium if my memory is correct. Love to see the trim tag on this car.
Where's Kurt S when you need him?

Jeff you are right, US car were built in Antwerp, Belgium but all were left hand drive as all Contenential Countrys drive on the right. Britain, I think is the only European Country to still drive on the left. I have never seen a factory RHD Chevy of any kind. Chrysler did produce a RHD car, the early A body barracuda's, all were 318ci in '68 & '69 and sold through a London dealer "Warwick Wright" a Roots/simca/chrysler dealer. (Who still exsist in the same location) Incidently, this dealer were responsible for dealer preping and supplying the only 1970 Hemi Cuda Convertible built for export, a car I knew very well after brief ownership)

This Camaro, I would guess is almost certainly an Australian conversion as there law, up until recently dictated that all LHD cars had to be converted to RHD. I have seen their work on musclecars, and it is excellent. A 1969 440ci Daytona,an Aussie conversion to RHD has recently returned to the US and is making quite an impression on the car show scene.

Cool. Good to hear from you Pete; if anyone would know it would be you. I'm glad Bob Jane kept his two ZL-1s competition-only and they didn't get flipped to RHD. Talk about Day 2 mods!!!!

PS Don't forget about our wee Irish friends. They still drive on the left, too.

I love the way that car looks! The stance just screams "try me!".

Is this statement spoken from experience... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Lets just say when I went to England with the Air Force I felt right at home driving /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

Back a few years ago I was restoring an L-78 '69 SS Chevelle and was really perplexed by seeing pages in the Assembly Manual that were for a right-hand drive car: I never knew there was such a thing! I vaguely remember maybe two or three right-hand drive pages in that manual. I just glanced through my '67 Corvette and '69 Camaro Assembly Manuals and did not come across anything about "right-handers". Now I am curious, has anyone else come across right-hand drive pages in any other assembly manuals? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/scholar.gif
