Had two that I wished I still had. 68 Camaro conv that I never really finished but built a few different 350's for it. Had a 'glide but swapped over to a Muncie M22 which certainly made for some "spirited" driving with manual steering and manual 4 wheel drums. The other I regret doing what I did to it was a 69 Chevelle SS396/325 4 speed hardtop. Paid 800 for it to use as a winter car and ended up parting it out. Put the 396 in the Camaro for a while and put the 12 bolt under it also. Interesting thing was that the Chevelle rear was a bit wider than the Camaro rear and that allowed me to put a pair of N50/15's mounted on a standard pair of Cragar SS wheels instead of the reversed ones I had to use before. Will say that running D70-14's up front and the N50's out back made for some hair raising stops. Last motor I had in it was a 060 over 350 with a pair of 660 center shooters on a tunnel ram that ran very strong. Couldn't stop or turn too good but was sure a blast to drive. The end of the Camaro is still a sore subject though and a validation of never questioning your instincts.
