Default Any of you have a 1970 Camaro?
After I buy the 2010 Camaro, and if I have extra cash, I will be getting a 1970 or 1971 Camaro. They are bad ass!!

This is my personal fav of all the styles. I don't know why, but the split bumper has always looked...classier..to me.

I think they look sleeker, meaner. I like this style better then any other camaro style, besides the 2010.

Not a split bumper, but mine's a 1971 SS 427. Started life as a SS 396, but converted to a .040" over 427 engine. I've had this one since 1973!

Thanks! Yes, got it when I was home on leave from the Air Force. Talked my dad into cosigning for me, as I had zero credit back then. Told him if he would cosign I would keep it "forever"! Of course I was lying through my teeth, but somehow it's still around.
I think I've kept it because I really loved the car when I first saw a 1970 Z28 that my best friend bought, and told myself I wanted one too. When I spotted the SS396 on a car lot, and found out it had a 427 swapped into it, I knew I really wanted it!
Well here it is 37 years later, and I still enjoy the car as much as I did in 1973!

Thanks! I had my first accident in it last June. I was beginning a rebuild resto when some idiot jumped in front of me and slammed on the brakes. Didn't do much damage, but it did require one front fender and the header panel.
Of course my minor resto turned into a complete redo of the body including the OER 3.75" cowl hood, and the GM stealth gray pearl paint with black pearl SS stripes. Then new interior, thorough cleaning underneath and repaint there too. New tires identical to what was there, and on the same rims I had custom built about 10 yrs. before!
Still changing things almost every week, as I find some little things I can improve on all the time! My latest was to build a new set of traction bars and ditch the old slapper bars I'd put on there in 1974!
Here's what I built:

They work much better hooking up, yet give a softer ride and better cornering.
