This is my 1987
Camaro, originally with a 305 4bbl engine that had built up over 132,00
miles on it, so as of October of 2001 she got a nice fresh 350
- built my my Brother Kevin and his buddy Mark. They
did a super job on her - new Edelbrock, polished, four barrel carb,
Edelbrock
intake and a Com Cams camshaft - a bunch of other stuff ( I told them
to
do what they wanted ). The computer and all of the vacuum hoses are now
a thing of the past also. ;-) I also have Dynomax exhaust
on it and BFG Comp TA VR 4's on all four corners.
Kevin also had the fresh black paint job done for me in May of 1999 !
Keith Neminover squirted it with the black, added metallic color
change rally
stripes, and then sprayed wineberry over the whole thing with four
coats of tinted clear-coat !
This car is my baby and earns me many compliments. I know there is
not another one like her on the road, so I now also show this car (
I've even had it to the 1/4 mile and dyno shop ) and bought a Dodge
Shadow beater car to spare her too much more wear and tear.
Whooo hooo.......
Here are the
three cars that make up our McKenzie Family F~Body
Club. My 1987 Camaro, my Brother Chris's 1994 Trans Am GT, and our
Brother
Kevin's 1993 Z~28 show car. That's Kevin with his two kids, Cody and
Shelby,
working on the Trans Am - he's already got them trained to do clean up
and
Cody already has a trophy for his little motor scooter painted to match
the
Z~28, that it won over Harleys in it's class :-). Chris's Trans-Am is
the
Mustang killer of the group for sure (though Kevin and I do quite well
ourselves
), it's a very powerful car to drive and always makes me grin. Some of
the
mods Chris has made to his car are the cold air induction
and K&N airfilter, a Ligenfelter engine brace, and it rides
on big ol' Goodyear GSC's.
This is Kevin's
1993 Z~28, which he found to be very boring with it's
stock look and paint job. In the winter of 1998 he did a full
body-off
paint job on this car, all the way down like a restoration job. It
has the fine metallic deep red over the body, wineberry flames, color
change metallic sprayed over the whole thing, and four heavy coats of
clear coat sprayed on until it dripped off and then it was buffed back
up. Keith Neminover squirted the paint and did the body work on this
car and my own.
Kevin has also added F-1 chrome cold air induction and F-1 ground
effects and spoilers to his Z~28.
In late 2000 Kevin put new flame motif aluminum wheels and Goodyear
tires on this car and has polished much of the aluminum under the hood
and added a Ligenfelter engine brace.
Drive this baby down the road and watch stock late model Camaro
drivers
give themselves whiplash to get a better look at her!
Aww, too bad, so sad.
Please click here to see some more pics of this car from the summer of 2000, with the new wheels and tires.
Kevin has also further modified this
car so that the hood opens to the FRONT ( like a Corvette ) and it just
kicks ass ! Please click here to see that
pic !
This lovely 35th
Aniversary Camaro SS belongs to our friend Herb. We've known Herb since
high school days, back when he used to drive a black
1970 1/2 Z-28, so he gets to be an honorary member in our little club
here.
;-) Herb had to wait quite a while for this car after he placed in on
order
- but I think it was worth the wait to him.
