Default My Old 73 Camaro

<span style="font-weight: bold">This is a car I had a few years ago. Made the non-stop round trip from Austin to Trenton, Oh to buy it (as a roller) and trailered it back in 42 hours.
The pic below is near completion much later.
It was a track car and I was trying to get it back on the street. Ended up selling it later after a year and a half of work.
It was built in the Trenton plant and lived there it's whole life, 17 years as a track only car.
Chandlers Malibu made me think of it as we had the same horsepower rating. This motor was dyno'd at 704 bhp @ 622 ft. lbs. torque. </span>
