'68 Camaro A/MP race car
 

[b] Does anyone know what happened to this Camaro?
It was a fixture in front of Motion and at local tracks for quite some time.

This is the motor. It was actually used as a display piece in Motion, in front of the parts counter
before it was put into the Camaro!

Wow, Fascinating stuff! And yet another issue of CARS I have yet to find! I'd love to know what happened to it also, as it seems like such a high profile car would have been saved. Here are two more pictures of that car, one from an ad, and one from the title page of an article about it by Joel. I will try to locate the rest of the pages of the article.

That picture hung on Motion's wall for years with the caption
"Accidental Wheelie" under it!

I miss Friday night back in the day (1976-84 for me). Then, where I was in NorCal, cruising died/got killed-off in '85. Now I live for our local show season when I can cruise into the fairgrounds (or wherever) and kinda' get that same feeling we used to get as kids when we arrived at whatever Main we were cruising that night.

Boys I never have bought that picture of a 68 pulling the wheels on the street back then and still don't today. I just don't buy it. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bs.gif
