This is the fun part. Taking a Camaro apart requires no special skills; almost anyone can do it, even a novice mechanic. But a little pre-restoration planning will lessen the problems and headaches that can accompany a disorganized Camaro Project.

Before you embark on a Camaro restoration, you've got to own a Camaro, right? If you've already got a 1967-69 Camaro stashed in your garage, all the bet­ter, but if you're starting from scratch, you need to know the who's, what's, and where's of buying the right Camaro for your particular wants and needs. Camaro restora­tions can be fun and profitable, but if you dive into the project with the wrong car - rusted, faked or both - the restoration could turn into a personal and financial nightmare. Always re­member this golden rule of restoration: Don't buy a Camaro for restoration if the total cost of the car plus the total cost of the restoration will exceed the total current value of the Ca­maro when it is completed. 

You are about to embark on a restoration journey that will transform a well-beaten 1969 Z/28 Camaro into a pristine show car. For this book, the staff of Car Review magazine selected, purchased, disassembled, restored, and reassembled an original LeMans Blue Z/28, one of the premier small-block musclecars of the sixties and a true collector vehicle of the eighties. Starting out with a much-abused example that was previously used as a lawn ser­vice tow vehicle, project engineer Bill Breidenbach brought the car back to life for a series of Car Review restoration articles.

Let’s be honest—nothing defines the look of your Mustang II more than the grille.

It’s the first impression. The attitude. The personality.

And if yours is faded, cracked, or missing… you’re not showing the car the way Ford intended.

That’s where Classic Industries steps in, with high-quality reproduction front grilles built specifically for 1975–1977 Mustang II models.
