Then ,1994 for 1st two pictures

. Now the last one. I haven't done anything cosmetic to it since I bought it except put a rechromed bumper (since tweaked), buffed the stainless, and about buffed through the old paint job...

Drivetrain wise, it's all rebuilt at least once (sometimes twice) or different.

What's the time gap. When was then??

The "Then" pic is from 2000 (it looked like that from 88-05ish), the "Now" is how it looks now (or how it has looked for the last 5+years).

Don't let the change fool you……. It's only wheels, tires, stripes and a change from SS to XHD springs.

I made the entire transformation in one afternoon.

That's my old blue Camaro behind it.

So you've owned it since 1988. Awesome. :cheers:

Yea, I counted 6 different sets of rims I've had on my car since 1994. Most were rallye rim variations, but the torque thrust and minilites made a big impact. Amazing what rims will do to a car.

Here is my 71 Scamp before and after.

No…. I have had it for 5 or 6 years. My friends dad bought it in late 79. I had been around the car for many years and when it was finally offered for sale I snatched it up.

Story on my car goes like this…….

68-75………. 2nd car, part time driver.

75-79………. 2nd car, part time driver with even less miles put on it (Neighbor of my friends dad owned it along with a 68 Charger that was the same color).

79-89………. Friends dad got the car and it sat in the garage for almost 10 years. It did't need any work or anything…….. He was just waiting for his son to get interested in it.

89-91………. Performance rebuild on the engine (89-90), Suspension tuned for the track (shocks, springs and alignment).

Car hit roll-bar mandated ET and was parked.

91-05……… Car sat again.

05-10……… I got the car and started rounding up the missing stock parts. The list was very short.

Original parts missing in 05.

Carb (gone by 79)
Intake (gone by 79)
Exhaust manifolds
Valve covers (gone by 79)
Valve cover breather (gone by 79)
Assorted under hood AC parts.
Wheels & Tires.
3.23, 3rd member for the 8 3/4. Dana 60 (3.91) is in the car.

Miles 05-10, under 1000.
Total miles, 62,500
