I can`t believe my parents had a picture of this after 20 years

[Scottwax]

My 1974 Camaro Z/28! The only picture I could find was of the Hurst shifter and the trunk (don`t even remember why I had a picture of that) but no full car shots. Couldn`t find the negatives either. Tonight, I was looking through a picture rolodex at my parent`s house and they had a picture of my Z! I have tons of pictures of my Chevelle but until I found this, no full shot of the Z.



L-82 350, Muncie M-21 4 speed with a Hurst shifter, Hooker Headers, 2.5" exhaust with Sonic Turbos and dumps at the rear axle, Edelbrock Performer intake and a Holley 3310. :)

Those are nice cars. There was an old Z28 in the high school parking lot. The kid who drives it was in my graduating class. Don`t know exactly what he had done to it other than exhaust, which is kind of noticeable. :D There was also a 1978 Camaro RS sitting at one of the used car lots in town, and in great shape no less.

lol, makes me wish I had some pics of my first car, a 1978 Camaro Z-28. Mine was charcoal gray, with T-roof.

Yeah but mine had 245 hp. ;)



I tell ya, that L-82 was very strong for a smog motor.

cool Scott! I had a 79 Z28 silver with a 1970 400 smc stroked to a 406 with 400 horse back in 90 that I built. I miss it so much.



Those were the fun days of cars and it was amazing what $1000 could buy back then.

i`m sure that brings back alot of memories :)

NICE if you could not tell I like Z28`s

and I love second gen`s

[imported_rydawg]

let`s see some more pics Scott!

ScottWax- That`s a great find! Sigh...I don`t have a full-car shot of my first ride, or any shot at all of my `77 T/A (black, no decals, debadged).

[imported_speedingpenguin]

Very cool! I love second gen F-body`s

I think I`m gonna get one as my next project once my Malibu and Firebird are closer to being complete...

I`ve got a whole bunch of pictures and videos of all of the cars I`ve owned, I really need to organize them all and put them on a CD-R and put it somewhere safe, because I wanna have them to show to my kids in 20 or 30 years.

My uncle has a really old vid (Probably early 70`s at the latest, no sound or anything) of him, my dad, and my other uncle at the track with their cars, which is VERY cool.

Heres a pic of one of my dad`s cars (Poncho powered, would lift the front wheels off the ground with the M&H slicks he had, no problem!)

........Heres a pic of one of my dad`s cars (Poncho powered, would lift the front wheels off the ground with the M&H slicks he had, no problem!)......That`s a very cool picture of some hot rod history speedingpenguin! Do your dad or uncles still have any of their old cars? If not wouldn`t you like to find that car in a barn sometime and bring it home?



That`s pretty neat that you finally found a picture of your old Z/28 Scott........ I don`t have any pictures of my early cars that I can find.

Ok, I`ll grant you that. I don`t remember what hp my small block 350 was rated at, but it was less than the earlier models.



Your suspension was probably no better than mine, however.

[BigJimZ28]

I don`t remember what hp my small block 350 was rated at,

BHP @ RPM ___ Torque @ rpm

185 @ 4000 ___ 280 @ 2400

1977 1/2 to 1979 Z/28s had a 170 hp LM1 350. Still pretty good for the day. I believe they went to 185 hp with the cold air induction in 1980.



Stock suspension vs stock, yeah, they`d be teh same...but I pulled the front and rear anti-roll bars off a WS6 Trans Am (front bar was 1 5/16" diameter!) and installed them along with urethane bushings. Really tightened it up nicely.



rydawg-if I had more exterior shots, I`d post them.
