Mark Sheppards (92646) 1969 RS SS Camaro

[Xplantdad]

I sent you these shots of my car on the advise of Sam Mockingbird 812 . He recommended that I send pictures and a write up of my car for your consideration of the Member's ride section.

It’s a 1969 SS RS Camaro that I believe was an original L78 car but the original drive train was not in the car when I bought it. I just finished installing a Bill Mitchell 540 / 610 hp crate motor and a whole bunch of subtle upgrades to make it work. The car was fully restored when I bought it and there were parts that were chromed on the chassis that I would have preferred been put back to stock. But the car was done this way because the owner wanted the car to be special and this was his way of making it that way. The way it was put back together they had no concern for numbers but most of the parts on the car are GM.

When I found that the car had a single fuel line, higher redline tach and the original power steering pump still had a deep groove pulley I was pleasantly surprised.

I will send a couple of pictures now to see if you are interested or not. It’s the best car that I will ever own but I do not know if its in the same league as most of the other cars that I have seen on this website. I am trying to sell this car right now and I do not want the exposure for that reason, its just a neat car in my humble opinion and like I said before it’s the best car I will ever own. I have 3 younger age kids and the way these cars are appreciating I will never afford another car like this and I can not put this much money in a car and pay for the kids education in the future.

<font color="red"> Mark, I think that your Camaro is a neat car..and you sent the info to me before you put it up for sale. Finally, I think your Camaro more than qualifies to be a Members Ride!

That is one sweet clean ride....I'd consider letting the kids pay for their own educations and hanging on to it!!
I know I would have a greater appreciation for my education had my parents made me pay for it myself.
So it'd probably be good for them, if you kept the car

Love the stinger hood on early Camaros.

Let it be known, I'd like to SLAP the guy the guy that said white cars don't photograph well...that car has got it goin' on!!!!

The insurance companies say White cars are safer, and are involved in fewer accidents. Let 'em take a look at this baby! Not exactly Grandma's White Buick.

Hang on to it Mark. Like you said; the way these cars are appreciating you can sell it AFTER the kids are through school. (Use it as a retirement plan!)

Very, very

To quote Rob on a previous car , " and I'd give it more if I had them!"

What a killer car. Has my dream engine too: a Bill Mitchell 540. I couldn't bring myself to sell such a car! You'd have to pry it out of my cold, dead hands. x 100!
