A fantastic video! I'm a Mopar guy, thru and thru, I got some very nice rides, but the 69 Camaro was ALWAYS my favorite of ALL the Camaros.....that and the 61 Chev....The job done here is superb...the cam I believe is a .600 lift solid factory cam, with over 270 degrees at .050 duration...actually a racing cam.. bigger in lift specs than the L-88 cam which was also quite aggressive.....quite radical, and yes these engines are well above 500 horsepower. I hope the owner spends a LOT of time enjoying this beauty. By the way, 7k back in 69 is like about 50k today....I think...not all that bad when you realize the price of the new Challengers and Camaros. The drag pack Challengers are over 100 K today, and they go 9's

Some did seem nice, well kept and quite affordable. ( I watched the w126 300 SWB video numerous times, if I remember you also like those ) I guess that from your perspective must be a bit boring to repeat the same "normal" cars several times.

69 made it out of the factory 300 were crushed and destroyed torches were used to blow holes in the motor block so they could not be retrieved from the body after it was crushed general motors considered his car an insurance liability cuz it did not have a bulletproof bell housing that would restrict the clutch assembly from taking the door hinges off the side of the car my father worked the final line when this all went down at general motors I had a COPO Camaro as a high school graduation present but I was only lucky enough to have a cast iron model drag raced it religiously for four and a half years never wrecked it never killed nobody did the grace of God I enjoyed the ultimate heartbeat of America and never regretted it thank you Lord

Thumbs up for saying 11s with slicks and 13s with polyglass. So many shows imply these things could run 11s or 12s on stock tires. I had a neighbor when I was a kid that had a 69 z28 and it was breathed on heavily with a four speed. Ran 12.8 on slicks. Stock rear end is too light and there is little traction, almost none with stock tires. I'd be surprised if it could even run 13s on stock tires. My neighbor could burn 2nd gear as long as he wanted to.

The BMW 7 Series from mid-80s to late 90s also had the double-pane glass option on the doors, my cousin had an early 90s 760IL with the V12, that was the closest thing to a supercar I had the pleasure of being in at the time, rocketed to 100MPH in what seemed like no time.
