After riding a '65 Volkswagen Beetle for a couple years, Maurice van den Tillaard (a.k.a. Tilly) purchased his Chevy back in May 2001. He wasn’t really looking for a certain kind of car and just looked around for a car that was in a good condition, because that’s something which is already pretty rare here in The Netherlands.

When looking through a local newspaper he saw an ad for an original matching numbers ’68 Camaro, in a village a few miles away. When he checked out that car he bought it right away. It was in a perfect condition.

Since he started driving it, he never had a problem with it, but to have something to do on it, he installed dropped spindles with discbrakes and a set of Torq Thrust D’s. The 327 motor used to be backed up by a Powerglide, but, in the meanwhile, that’s changed with a Muncie M20, which makes driving the car a lot more fun... 4 speeds rule!! For the rest, a lot of small work is done on the car, to make it more reliable…

Because Tilly was also caught by the “hotrod bug” a long while ago, he is currently looking around for a traditional hotrod project, or a 50’s custom pick up truck, which he will hopefully import from California ASAP!

May 2004... The Camaro is SOLD!! New ride coming up in 2005!

About the bike... Tilly has always been fascinated by bikes. This whole project started when he found an old Bates seat at Four Aces Cycle... He thought: Let's build a bike around that little fucker! And below you can see the result...

Soon to come...Tilly's Triumph bobber project build up sequence. Click here for a little video!

Bas purchased his ride from Canada. That was back in 2002… When Bas and one of our friends, Marcel, went to the Rotterdam harbour to pick up the car, they found out that it wouldn’t run anymore.
When the car was trailered back to our hometown, the search for the starting problem began. After some wrenching and messing around, the guys found out that the engine had a cracked cilinderhead and a hole in the number one piston!!
All this resulted in a complete engine swap, which they are still working on, because Bas recently went through a complete rebuilt of his house too!!

When the car will be running, it’s gonna be his daily driver! Summer and winter!
He can’t wait anymore to roll his Roadrunner through town. After a while it’ll probably get a complete restauration and a badass motor, a nice 440, or maybe even a Hemi!! But that’s a project which is a bit of a longer way from here…

If you want details, you can check his website at www.plymouthroadrunner.tk or the project page.

Januari 2005...It runs! Finally...Here's a short on what we've done so far to get it on the road...legally:

• resprayed engine bay
• installed a revised 383 cui motor from a 1967 Chrysler New Port
• new alternator and brackets
• new beep-beep horn
• new electronic ignition
• new wiring...all redone
• new battery
• new discbrakes from MP Brakes (powerbrake, headcilinder, brakelines, spindles, calipers)
• new correct date coded HP exhaust manifolds (damn those are so much cooler than headers)
• new 2.25" exhaust with Flowmaster 40 series mufflers (no Delta Flow)
• new headlights (because of european regulations, sealed beam is not allowed)
• new fan
• new starter-relais
• new voltage regulator
• installed a Autometer rpm-gauge under the dash (damn that looks cool!!)
• repaired the fuel-tank
• new wiperwashercan
• polished the paint

Now it's ready to challenge the Dutch roads and wake up the neigbours!

Here are some nice shots of my car, next to Marcel's 1969 4-spd Roadrunner:
