I have a 68 Firebird 400 M20, I have had the car apart for a few years and may retire before it is roadworthy again, but it is purdy to look at when I push off the leaves.

68 Firebird 400 4v M20

Going to be leaning towards protouring shiznits. 17x9.5 and 17x11's, T56, leaf springs are going... but not sure about the suspension.. leaning towards some type of 4 bar deal, polo green metallic, RS headlights, non-RS tail lights blacked out black panel etc. Got some stuffs for it... t56, 9", trac loc, new moser 4.11s, gen 2 block and crank (to build a carbd 350 drive it, and learn to drive a stick on while I build up another real motor ), RS lights, non-rs tail lights... paid less than 1k on everything so far I think

My 1st gen is a '69 SS RS. The car came with an L/89 , L78 but, now has a roller L/88. Still has the original JL/8 4 wheel disc brakes but now is seldom driven because of the gasoline issues created by the install of the L/88. Still wonderful to look at when I pull back the car cover.

I kind of have a 67. It's technically my dad's, but mine to race whenever I want to. It's a convertible with factory air...apparently that's very rare. Needs a ton of work though. I tried to buy it from him a couple of times now and he just won't let it go. He says it has sentimental value .

Family owns a 67 rs Camaro, stock chassis, that we race every weekend. The only things removed was the wiring, Pass. seats, Stock seat belts, and door planels. The Things that got replaced are the hood and deck lid for Fiber glass components and the carpeting for light weight carpet. All the rest of the stock equipment is still there including the hidaway doors.
I use to own a 67 Camaro of my own but with marrage and a kid I gave it to my brother. He took it to a frame shop and had it back halved with tubular frame and roll bar, Ford narrowed 9" rear end and alld the tin worked done. He purchased a 502 motor and rebuilt a TH400 for the car and is in the process of getting a new front end.
