Default Re: 68 camaro survivor w/ 6 cyl (13 sec)

bill, thanks for the info on value add. I kinda thought it would not add that much, just thought it was cool.

I met with him last night, he ran it at US30 4 times, best time was 13.89 at 101 in the 1/4. 361 rear gears (stock). All he changed was the jets (21 to 10?). He ran A stock. He ran once over at oswego (did bad as they did not have the same class). I am not sure anyone had records still for US30 for april-may 1971. His car is registered for those race times and he had to sign some waver for his drive shaft not being strapped. Very cool these things could run that fast back in the day, I believe him, the car is so light (I am digging it, maybe I will end up with it, being an oddball car that really looks good in such zero option plain jane form).
I thought he told me years back it was bored out some and he ran a header, he said nope, just changed the jets and added racemasters in back. Had a tach added so he could shift at 5K, and just got it into third for a brief time. He said most people thought he ran on in just 2 gears, he said nope, he hit third at the end, barely.
