Thanks for the comments. Sorry I missed the motor shot.

Very nice!!!

'69 was my favorite Camaro year. That's an RS and DOESN'T have full gauges? I'd a thunk.....

When I was at Miramar, and had my '70 440 sixpack car, some friend of a friend had a NICE '69 Z28, that he always wanted to race me.

Then he bought a '70--my unfavorite year, and INSISTED I go for a ride---on base!!! He went over around the car wash,--the whole base being 25mph, and speeding pretty much a Federal crime, and decided to light 'em up. Broke the rear U joint, the rear yoke, and crapped the drive shaft right out on the street. Made a 'ELL of a lot of noise.

On the way back to the auto hobby shop--through the weeds--through a field, I glanced down in a piece of brush and THERE WAS TEN BUCKS!!!

He was very ticked that I wouldn't give it to him!!!
