It sucks that a cool old musclecar like that ended up in such rough shape. I hope you made a few thousand on it when you sold it. It would have been cool for you to put the whole drivetrain in your '65.

Looks like the DZ302 camaro out in my nieghbors field. Rough, but still worth a ton of $$Builder/Owner of Badass Panther Wagons

I did pretty well when I sold it. I sold it to a friend of a friend that is a Boss fanatic( he had 2 other Boss 302's ). He said he was going to restore it into a nice driver. I didn't want to break up the stock drivetrain. The car lead a hard life I wanted to see it restored to some of it's previous glory. I didn't have the funds or the shop to do it in so I sold it to a guy that did. Believe it or not the frame rails and most of the front floors(it needed the toe boards replaced ) were solid. The 1/4's and trunk drop offs were just horrible. Both of the Boss front fenders were fixable.
My 65 was my daily driver so I was perfectly happy with a slightly modified 289. I ported the heads and the stock 2V intake and swapped a stock 2V carb off a 390 onto it. So it still looked dead stock but had a little more punch. It was a fun ride nothing wild. But I did manage to break the transmission yoke at the U-joint.Comment
