I say barn find in quotes as my uncle bought this car in 1992 and we always knew about it, I had always mentioned buying it from him but at the time I wouldn't have been able to get it going anyway. Unfortunately, he passed in 2014, and when he did I made it my goal to get the Camaro up and going. We pulled it out and brought it to Texas where I was at the time in 2015 and I got it up and going for the Power Tour in 2016. Initially it was LS swapped, but I didn't do the suspension or brakes and it was lacking most of the interior.
Currently it is:
Engine: GM Remanufactured LQ4, Comp XR275HR Cam, Comp 918 Springs, LS6 intake manifold, Painless LS wiring harness
Mounts: Musclerods LS swap mount and header kit
Fuel System: Tanks INC. EFI fuel tank, Russel Fittings/Lines, Aeromotive Fuel Rails, 42 lb/hr. injectors
Transmission: Tremec TKO600 - American Powertrain Hydromax and swap parts.
Rear end: Strange 9-inch housing, 3.70 gears
Brakes: Baer 6P Calipers, 13-inch rotors, front and back
Wheels/Tires: US Mags PT4, 17x8 front, 17x9 rear, Nitto NT555 G2 tires
Interior: TMI Products Sport R seat foams and covers, Sport R door panels and center console, Vintage Air SureFit Air Conditioning, Dakota Digital Retrotech Gauges, Painless chassis wiring harness, Ididit steering column
Suspension: UMI Performance control arms, Viking double adjustable coilovers and rear shocks, Custom Works Performance rear lowering leaf springs
While the car came from LA area and hasn't seen salt, mice built nests that held moisture and caused some rust in the rockers. Next plan is fixing that stuff but I plan to just primer the fixes and keep it in patina for quite a while. It's nice being able to drive and not worry.
