Time for a long overdue update on the project. \u00a0I made a deal on a 1970 Camaro SS RS. \u00a0I really didn’t want another complete car in the garage for the winter, so to make a long story short, I am able to take all the parts I want off it and leave the main body which is no good behind. \u00a0I am almost done with taking the parts off of. \u00a0What I don’t use, I can sell. \u00a0Refer to this page <\/a>for details on SS and Rally Sport (RS) options as this has both.<\/p>\n

The main two things I wanted from this car was the 12-bolt rear end (only available in 1970) and the RS options and a few other hard-to-find items. \u00a0I need to take one more trip and will take more pictures. \u00a0But here are a few photos of the car\\parts:<\/p>\n

The first thing to notice here is the split bumper and round turn signals. \u00a0A closer look shows the roof to be bowed – Would have needed a new roof which I didn’t want to do.<\/p>\n

Note the interior is all there – The bucket seats and the seat tracks can be sold. \u00a0The center console can also be sold along with the dash.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I took the chrome window trim off of the front & rear windows along with the trunk lid and spoiler – all that can be sold.<\/p>\n

Close-ups of the RS front-end. \u00a0The Urethane nose and bottom valance will need replaced, but the rest of the parts are in good shape:<\/p>\n

12-bolt Rear-end was only used in 1970 for the second gen Camaros – I will rebuild and use this in my car:<\/p>\n

Special wood grain dash and 150 mph speed odometer I will use. \u00a0I also got the steering column & wheel, and the rest of the dash.<\/p>\n
