Default New Project - 1971 Camaro

This is shaping up to be my next project.
The intent is to engineer a little quality time with my oldest son on this one.
If the boy plays his cards right, he could find himself owner of the outcome of the project.

Still not sure which direction we will go.
I want my son to play a major role in what we do.

Anyhow, here are the first set of pics..... notice the "For Sale" signs still in the windows.

Looks clean as hell, with a crate motor to boot.

Next to the 69, the split bumper Camaros have always been my favorite.

hate that body style, but i never liked much of any car between ~70 - 90.

but it looks mint! and nice powerplant to work with.

how old is your oldest son? are you planning on doing a mild restore, or just leaving it and doing some more mods? (car looks good from afar, but theres always room for improvements )

He is 15. The project direction will be dependent on what he wants to do. I will guide him.

It could be simple motor, tranny and gearing mods.

Or if could be something a little more wild.

I personally like turbos and think though it would be a significant effort, it would be really cool old meets new project.

The intent is to afford us the opportunity to build something together.

I'm surprised nobody has noticed the 67 or 68 with the same paint scheme in the background

There were three Camaros there the day these pics were taken.
A 1968, a 1969 and the 1971.
The sweet 69 is Corey's.
What you do not see is the 1970 big block StingRay in the garage as well.
The Vette and the 68 belong to Bob.
Bob is the guy I am getting the 71 from.
