    Rebuild that original motor of the camaro with some cool internals and leave it mostly original. Repaint it silver and change the interior back to black.

    I wonder the same exact thing as Rawlings... why can't we use the energy that each of the 4 wheels turning (like a windmill or waterwheel energy system) to keep the batteries charged as you roll down the road. Even if it's not efficient enough to keep the batteries full when you drive it can greatly extend the travel distance instead of just the battery power alone between charges.

    If those are original to the car. 403 powered TAs also came with the WS6 package.
    Also the decal on the shaker is incorrect . 403 equipped TAs the shaker decal should say 6.6 liter not TA/ 6.6 . TA / 6.6 is for Pontiac 400s.

    You all make a big deal of how clean & original the Camaro is underneath, so it seems like it would make an ideal candidate for a restoration. Also, you're mention the engine is blown, but that doesn't always mean it can't be rebuilt. I'm just going by what I'm hearing and it sounds like the car should be restored, and the block be saved if possible. Because it looks to be nice to be turned into another hot rodded Camaro. YMMV

The only vehicle I see on the horizon that might fit that bill is the Aptera, if they can get it launched and hold a good price entry point like they claim they can. It's also has regenerative aspect to that vehicle to where if you just leave it in the sun it recharges itself.

If 1/3 of all the cars on the roads in cities were like that, the air would clear up and gas prices would drop because of supply and demand.

While I long to own my RS I like the Restomod Idea but keep the outside and wheels looking more 1971. My car was a orig 4spd car bought new local to me and still had all the paperwork from the dealer incl the protecto plate. Sold it for $2k in the late 90's, last I heard it was stripped down to bare metal but never heard of or saw it again in my area.

Side note the term wheel and deal was a off handed remark as the term means to operate or manipulate for one's own interest IE Richard's wheeling and dealing has made him rich but not very popular.

    Richard you could send all your guys to a pick and pull yard with a budget and 2 days to collect all the parts to fix the trans am up into something cool and make money on the car , UA-cam videos, and advertisements in the videos for stuff used on the build. I think It could be a cool then to take it to a drag strip and let everyone make a few runs in it after its done. Make it into a a entry level drag/Street car on a Budget with Nitrous!!!!

    Dear Richard, I've had a great idea that I want to share with you. Get an 82 to 84 Camaro Berlinetta coupe and then make it a USA version of the "Mad Max/ Road Warrior" car. You seem too always come across them for $500.00 to $1500.00. It's a perfect car for a USA version. You could maybe put a 383 stroker with Wieand super charger. It would be fun for you and the shop. I wish I had the money for it as well as the tools & time. I've had to take care of my folks for the past 15 yrs. Thats kind of my story. Take Care and God Bless you, your family & business. I want to clarify what I said there. God is important to me so when I ask God to bless you & all. I know what I am asking God to do.
