Yes, very nice. I like the rims and tires. Period correct. And the good old fashioned traction bars.

Need more pics, interior and under the hood.

Also, nice job getting two out of three pictures in the correct orientation.

350 small block m21 rock crusher 4 speed. Not to much hp….. yet. About 360hp. I keep going over this car and can’t find flaws . I believe I got a good car.

Beautiful car, one I would never sell if it were mine. Very few Foose wheels do it for me but those look nice, a tasteful ode to the style of that era. 👍

M22 is the "Rock Crusher" named for the unmistakable whine because of the straight cut gears. Rare to see a Z ordered with one as most came with the M21 Long Throw.

Is it an X33 car or an X77? Did you get any build sheets with it? Looks like a custom ordered one for a street racer. If you have doubts about it's authenticity hit me up, I am a huge Camaro fan and I have a lot of experience with ID'n them. Either way it looks super straight, and lets face it, most of the fun of owning one is making it your own! ;)

Nice! Like the color! They are great weekend fun cars. I grabbed this one a few months ago and have been enjoying it.

I had a 68SS in 1984 with that same paint scheme. All original with 327/4speed. Interior was original right down to the floor mats and owners manual in the glovebox. Also had the center console w/gauges option as well.

I hate most of his wheels. Even his dad told me he didn't like them either but they sold a lot of them. These look like Torque Thrusts with wings on them. :(

Other than that (and easily changeable), beautiful car! '69 is my favorite year for both Camaro and Mustang. Way back in 1980 or '81, I found a nice '69 for sale, 350, 4 speed. Guy wanted $2K for it which was pretty good price even back then. I didn't have all the money but had a few hundred for a down payment so went to a local bank to try to get a loan. I had a good job driving truck and was living at my folks (had recently gotten out of the Army) so low expenses and no debt. Fucker at the bank denied the loan. :mad:

Years (okay, decades) later I picked up this one with a 510 Bowtie block, 727HP plus 300 nitrous shot, M22, 12 bolt with 4.10 gears. Just another of many I wish I had hung on to.

I love nicely optioned X33 Z's. Tic Toc Tach, Console with gauges, tilt wheel...sweet!

This car looks like a Hellcat eater.....😈😆

Old iron rocks, like the new stuff but old stuff is very cool and doesnt generally go down in value. Unless you go over board like I did with my truck, but I enjoy it LOL

Man, that is a nice truck. I wouldn't call it old though. To me, anything 1980 and up is new. :oops::D

I'd love to find a regular cab, short bed with an LS and 6 speed manual trans. I love my Corvettes but they sit so low to the ground. A truck like that could be made to handle and perform well.

A 350 small block is the biggest flaw. Should be a 302
