No way...that's not chopped liver! Reminds me of the cars I used to run around with in the good old days when the streets were filled with American tire frying Muscle My buddy had a '70 Z28 dark blue with the split mini bumpers that was just plain bad A$$ !
I still get my fill on Saturday nights Spring to Fall at the local cruise spot...lot's of blowers, tunnel rams, and wheel tubs  I will be there once again when Project V8 S10 is back on the road... 
Thanks for the props on my Bird...your Camaro is sweet too. I'd drive it today if I had it

Damn, I wish I could find a picture of my 93 saturn, it was a sl2. It was sweet as hell, lowered, Enkei RS6s, complete sound system. I only have pictures of it when it was totaled with the rims on it. It had a fat ass Saturn sticker on the front. Looked awsome. scraped every speed bump. No body kit needed. The car looked so amazing. I will have to try so hard to find it. I liked it more then my contour. Hold up nobody shoot me. Just wait till I find a picture. It was gold with leather and had a v6 5 speed. Very sweet, DOHC.

Nah...I'm just kidding.
My dad has a 67' firebird sport (mint) he bought a couple years ago 33,000mi, completely original right down to the tires. The original owner died & left it to his sister, who put only 50 mi on it in 10 years, then my dad bought it. Still has the original books & paperwork in it from the dealership, in fact it was a local car, built here in lordstown. I hate to say what he's gonna do w/ it, but it won't be original anymore   ...
I still have the VIN to my camaro if I ever get the bug & extra $$$...

Foolish mistake  ...keep the car original it's probably worth 10x what it was new Find a $1,000 car less motor and trans and hack that up. Crazy to hack up an original car in that condition...why somebody alt to take him out back behind the tool shed and teach him a lesson 
At least talk him into selling it to a collector for some big $$$ and then he'll have the cash to build a hot rod or whatever his plan is.
I also know exactly where my old Firebird is and if I decide I want it back it's there for me. Also if the guy decides to sell it he will contact me first.

Later new wheels, exhaust, street/strip 350 turbo trans with semi-manual valve body and Fairbanks 2800 stall converter and Hurst Dual Gate His/Hers shifter. The 350 V8 was later replaced with a balanced and blueprinted '70 Chevy 454 LS6 big block V8 pushing 650HP. Rear differential was replaced with a Z28 12 bolt rear, Morroso Brute Strength Posi unit with Zoom 4:11 gears and ladder bar suspension along with a whole mess of other stuff.
I fell asleep at the wheel one night and wrecked the car. Nearly totaled it but rebuilt it better then the 1st time with a lot more show to go with the Go! Got married, had 3 kids and sold the car
