65 Camino 12-01-2007, 04:11 AM New guy here, Dave from Tn. Just found your site. I've had my 65 for over 22 years now, just finished up a frame off rebuild/ upgrade as a street/strip deal a couple months ago. So who else here drag races their Camino? What ya got? Is it OK to post pics in threads here? Regards/ Dave Caveman49 12-01-2007, 05:43 AM Welcome to the site Dave. And yes, you post in the thread and better yet, start building a portfolio in "Members Cars." If you haven't checked them out yet, you need to, lots of em there.

Quintonsdusty 12-01-2007, 11:58 AM Welcome aboard Dave, We're always glad to have anothe 2nd gen. Please post your pics. We all love em. Jim 65 Camino 12-01-2007, 01:07 PM Thanks, I put up an album in the 2nd gen gallery. Bear in mind, it IS a street driven pump gas car on DOT drag radials that gets raced at the track only. Best ET on pump gas and DOTs is 5.81 at 123 in the eighth with only ten runs on it. I'll try for better on good gas and slicks next year.

If you ever want to sell her Dave, kindly remember me, and look me up. Just love that Elk.... hemi57 12-02-2007, 01:10 AM Welcome to ECC Dave. That 2nd Gen is a beaut and it sound like a bit of a beast too. 65 Camino 12-02-2007, 12:47 PM Thanks guys. Some quick details include custom Cr-Mo cage. 540 in BBC with Procharger F2, made 1205 Hp on 93 octane. I backed it off from that tuneup to get a handle on the suspension. I'll be turning it back up next spring for racing season now that I know it goes straight and stops well. On race gas, I hope for closer to 1400 hp (more boost and timing). Powerglide with Chance converter, Moser 12 bolt with 3.73 gears on a spool, stock type suspension with adjustable arms on rear. 4 wheel disc brakes. Currently on 295/65 M/T drag radials. All steel except for hood. No lexan. Mineral Gray paint. Tagged with regular plates and insured. Big goofy grin on my face whenever I take it out for a drive. Even bigger when I get to the track. R/ Dave dougs85 12-02-2007, 04:33 PM I'd like to borrow about 100 HP from you, then we'd both have a goofy grin on our faces. Fantastic cruck you have. Doug rhimmel 12-02-2007, 09:40 PM SWEET RIDE!!! A tiny bit late but welcome aboard. I myself haven't been a member all that long but everyone seems very friendly, helpful and full of various knowledge and support. Once again, welcome!! -Rob | ||
