Keeping it original

[AlexFolino1968]

Hello, Alex from Pittsburgh Pennsylvania.  Bought a 1968 Camaro in 2005 when i was 18 years old.  Now im 36 and its time to start restoring the car.  Its a basket case but ill get it done.  Car was a 230 3 on tree tripoli turquoise car.  Was going to do the standard 350 4 speed like everyone else but after long consideration, the 6cylinder will do just fine.  I came across a running 250 out of a 68 that im going to put in.  I have a 4 speed manual trans that im going to put in instead of the 3 on tree.  Thats the only "modification".  Going to put car to its original KK paint and leave the dog dish caps on.  Ill post pictures when i can.

I'm with ya, but that 3 tree deal is the coolest part of the car. Anyone can have floor shift.

Yes it is... and somewhat of a theft deterrent, especially younger thieves. If it's not an automatic, they don't know how to drive a stick.

A car with an non upgraded shifter is cool.

Can’t seem to post more than one picture at a time.

Appreciate all the comments but I just don’t care for column shift.

Dare to be different!! There are many of us who really like a 3-speed column shifted vehicle, and it's one feature that is rarely seen any more.

Great thief deterrent. There's many that wouldn't know how to shift it

If you’re using a Saginaw that was behind a six banger it will have a 3.11 first gear.
With a 3.08 rear diff, that will give a 9.58 low gear. Should make it feel very peppy!

Thats exactly what i have!...  Cant wait to get it to my house in March and get her going.    Car is original down to the cigarette butts

Please put all removed original parts up in safe storage
in case you or next owner wants to put it back original.

Without a doubt.  When i took the car apart in 2005 i still have every nut and bolt, labeled etc..  Whatever i dont use goes back in the GM totes and to the attic.
