Jay has wanted a 69 Camaro since he was 14 years old. In '93 he got a 69 Chevelle with a 350 2 bbl with 29,000 original miles from the orig owner. He learned a lot about Chevy’s and restoring them from that car. His goal all along was to get that car finished and get a Camaro. After 7 years, he sold the Chevelle and got on the hunt for a Camaro. He looked at a lot of cars and finally found this one in the Dallas Morning News from someone in Rowlett. He did a little research and found the history back about 3 owners, most notable is Boris from Vintage Power in Wylie. Jay’s has had the most fun with his car on the Power Tour 2003. Jay was a little hesitant to go cross country with it, but the car ran without a hitch. Since Jay lives in Tarrant county, he gets a lot of questions about the Deep Purple Metallic color and TCU, Jay proudly tells them he went to UTA.

The only changes Jay has made to the car since June 2000 when he purchased the car has been to change the rear gears from 3.73 to 3.08, and rebuild the front and rear suspension so he could take it on the Power Tour. Future upgrades include Corbeau Sport Seats covered in houndstooth & black leather.

Jay has been rewarded for showing his car. Jay has won 3 trophies at various outdoor shows in the metroplex.
