I think this car in its Day 2 form is really cool. I understand the temptation to go back to stock exhaust manifolds on the original engine with the smog pump, but this car would be a blast to drive. The 1968 model year is my favorite for some reason, I don't know why.

68 is my favorite as well. For me, the lines are so clean especially when the side glass is down.

I have to report abroad (as some of you already know), the HM Camaro has moved on to it's new owner. We have been speaking for the last 2-3 months, and struck a deal recently. In our discussions, the new owner and I created a nice rapport. It seems to me he appreciates what the car was originally, and more so what it is today. I am hoping he joins the site, and keeps everyone apprised of the status (or progress) of the car.

I feel he is going to be a great caretaker of the car. As you can imagine, I have left the door open to get the car back for the 4th time

No surprise........ I have something else in the works

It’s hard to replace the condition and especially the history of the car.
