I ran my pickup down to a local repair shop to have a little work done on it. The owners are car nuts and avid roundy-round racers, so you never know what you might see in their shop. You'll see as many hot rods/street rods as you will commuter cars, so it's always interesting to see what's there.
When I went to pick it up, there was a 1969 Z28 Camaro in one of the stalls, so I thought I'd take a peek. After seeing what was going on, I asked the shop owner about it. The car owner had just paid $44,000 for the car, then pulled it in to their shop, had them jerk the original 302 w/2 - 4s that had some issues, and drop a $10,000 383 crate motor! The 302 is sitting on a stand and is going to be sold. Sad.
Now I don't have issues with modifying cars, but there are some things that you just don't eff with, and I believe a stock '69 Z28 is one.
Oh, well. Not my money!
