1968 Chevy Camaro

Wallpaper Description:

While working at Steve’s Camaros in San Bruno, California, Rodney Prouty answered a call from a woman looking to sell a ’69 Camaro. Rodney made the trip out to her house to check it out and found that it was actually a ’68, or what was left of one. The shell was badly damaged, but it was still a Camaro. He asked the woman how much she wanted for it. The answer of $100 shocked Rodney. After trying to convince her she could get more out of it, she stood by her offer and the car was his. “I don’t know what made my heart beat faster, the excitement of owning a ’68 Camaro, or the sense that I was probably in way over my head,” Rodney says. Over the next two years he worked on his budget build, finding most of what he needed on Craigslist, funding those purchases with cash earned by selling the spare parts on eBay. He has since bought some fancy suspension components to get more out of the car at autocross events, but he’s keeping it reasonable. After a thousand ideas on paint schemes, Rodney finally committed to white with a play on the traditional hockey stripe graphic.
