Is it the 69 trying to look like a new one, or the new camaro trying to look like an old one...
I dont have anything against the "pro-touring" trend for vintage cars, but if the 69 was a "REAL" Yenko , the guy who did that "restoration" should be burned alive! And i dont give a shit if Foose or the pope himself built it.
"Pro-touring butchery" is for a car that is NOT a rare number match and surely not for one of the most sought after pony car ever made...
dont get me wrong , I think the " pro-touring" look looks good, I even thought about "pro-touring" my '71 RS project , but I think I will take it back to its original look , even if its not a super rare pony car .
I think its important to keep these cars the way they were when new something like 40 years ago, their original feel, with crappy suspensions settings and soft seats. Its like a time capsule for the next generations (my 3 yo daughter).
if you want the old school look with doors that are tight, modern interior , big wheels and stiff suspensions , buy a new vette , challenger or mustang etc.. they do everything very well and come with a warranty.
Sometimes I think the pro-touring trend for old cars , is like cutting a 18th century piece of furniture to fit your 100" plasma screen...
But I have to admit this 69 looks pretty good...just not really my thing , OK i'm oldschool
