We had a 68 Camaro for a pretty long time, my Dad bought it way back in the late 80s-early 90s, and we sold it about a year ago.

When we got it it had been painted from the orignal butternut yellow to a dark blue. It was just a base 6cyl/auto, that had a 305/3-speed auto swapped in. It wasn't in bad shape, interior was really bad, but body wasn't rusted (Gotta love Cali cars). My Dad and I worked on that car for a long time, I have pics of me sanding it as a little kid. I had to stand on a stool to reach the fenders. My Dad's Chevy dealer painted it the factory color again, we added the SS spoilers, and put a black vinal top on it. Truly a beautiful car, I wish I could find a pic. Then in its later years we swapped in a rebuilt 350 4-bolt with double came hump heads, and a nice Comp cam. We also swapped in a Muncia 4-speed with a Centerforce DF clutch. Then I added an Edelbrok intake and Holley stree avenger carb. It ran pretty well, I was able to stay right beside a newer SS Camaro (335hp/6-speed). But alas we sold it for $14,000 because we were done with it and wantd to get working on the 55. I'll try to find some pics somewhere..

I'm just guessing, but maybe he means he wants to see some pics of the car. I know I'm curious.

Yes, pictures are a must. You can't tease a man like that. That's like me banging Angelina Jolie and not getting a souvenieer bite on the neck.

Did you hear about the old lady who paid me $50 to pull the old convertible out of her backyard? Some kind of Cobra something... anyway, didn't have a garage to work on it so I had it crushed. Only had a little 289 in it anyway.

Damn, nice find.. I thought my pseudo-kinda-but-not-really-badly-rusted 67 Mustang fastback shell for $500 was a good find, but yours takes the cake.. I didn't even get any shit with mine..
