  1. That's funny, because my 69 was originally Daytona Yellow. It must have been ordered that way since it wasn't an SS.

     

    1969 GTO carousel Red is 100% the same tint. It's the same paint, carries the same DuPont paint number. If you called up a paint supplier and ordered one can of 1969 Monaco Orange and one can of 1969 carousel red you would get two identical cans of paint. The only thing that changed is the name.

     

    There are other oranges out there like atomic and orange flame which are different tints. I wasn't saying all orange gm uses was the same tint, just the colors I mentioned above.

     

    Hugger orange was also offered on the 1969 SS396 chevelles as an SS color only (Daytona yellow was the other SS only color that year). It was also available on SS novas and Corvair monzas. I don't know if the full size SS cars had it as an option, but in 1969 if you ordered the car and paid upfront GM would paint it any color you wanted (fleet services special paint order). My father did that with his 1969 z/28 and it came painted a Cadillac only blue.

  2. Details on your Camaro? Powertrain, suspension...

     

    Looks great in white with the black accents.

     

    Just a typical old car build. Unfortunately nothing unusual or different.

     

    383 small block w/ Holley carb

    700r4 transmission

    Ford 9" rear with a locker and 3.55 gears

     

    Lowering springs up front and blocks in the rear.

     

    I have been working on it for the last 7 years.

    I had it sandblasted down to bare metal. Found that it had been wrecked in the early 70's and needed a number of new panels. No rust just not straight.

     

    She's not perfect but as I plan on driving her as much as possible I am not concerned.

     

    Let me know if there are any other questions you have.

  3. Lol. Don't hate, just because I get up early. Your groggy mornings on the rally were pretty funny. Kudos to you for making evenings work.

     

     

    By the way, you just walked into 5 guys, fatty.

     

    Us fat guys have to stick together.

    Good talking to you!

  4. You hit the most of what you are noticing. Recovery from evening workouts is reduced from basically going straight to rest from workout. AM workouts give the day for the body to continue to use the muscles, and not tighten up. Although rest is great and what you need to recover, the actual build and recovery is more challenging. AM workouts also allow you to feed the rest of the day, to aid in recovery. If you work nights, all this is simply flipped for you sleeping during the day. How much rest, recovery and progress needed is simply a direct reflection of how demanding your workout is on your body. Am workouts on an empty or light stomach, also will help your body burn the right energy. It is easier for our body's enzymes to break down protein for energy, than it is to convert fat to energy. And that is all fat really is, stored energy reserves. You have to feed the body often and on time, so it knows food is there when it needs it. That way it will burn fat and not convert elements to energy with the intent to store it.

     

     

    AM workouts are good.

     

    blah blah blah blah.... I am a morning person so AM workouts are awesome.

     

    I have never had a morning workout that felt successful for me. I just don't enjoy it like I do when working out in the evening. Working out helps me unwind from the day. I am sure everything that Joe says is true, it just doesn't work for me.

  5. Well I see you put it on CL. I have been spreading the word, the miles seem to be what's scaring people.

     

    Thanks for passing it along.

     

    I thought about it and didn't see the point in waiting.

    It's a 14 year old car. Not much I can about the miles.

  6. Thanks everyone for the kind words.

     

    It will be hard to let this car go.

    Its been by and far the best car I have ever owned.

     

     

    Pricing the car has been the hardest part. Looking online at Nasioc, 02 WRX prices are all over the place.

     

    If I don't get any bites on here in the next week or so, I will put it up on Craigslist and let the headaches begin.

  7. I know a couple people who might want it, when was the last major service timing etc etc done to it?

     

    Timing belt, water pump, tension pullys all done at 110k miles.

     

    Clutch done around 180k

     

    Virtually all the service done to the car was done at Sigma Tec.

  8. Car:2002 Subaru Impreza WRX

    Mileage:203,560

    Price:3500

     

    Description: Up for sale is my World Rally Blue WRX with the 5 speed manual transmission. I have owned since 2004 when it had 22k miles on it. All oil changes done with Mobile 1 synthetic.

    All the major maintenance items were done on schedule. The car was daily driven until 3 weeks ago when I purchased my newer WRX. Interior is in good shape for its age no major cuts or rips in any of the seats.

     

     

    Pros:

    Solid car

    Mechanically sound

    Never modified (other than catless up-pipe)

     

     

    Cons:

    A/C not working

    Exhaust Leak

    Check engine light: scanned and it an emissions trouble code

    Rust starting on the back wheel wells

    Standard bumps and dings a car with 200K miles on it.

     

    Pictures I took yesterday:
