true that, assuming 25% of what he said about the body, mechanical is true, it is just the huckster surrounding it that is a turn off and makes one want to run the opposite direction

Ha Ha.I think I got this one figured out.The secret is supposed to be hidden under that wrong air cleaner{but isnt thanks to equally wrong intake and carb}.This car has an H in the 5th digit.As he said,K code L48 cars,but what he didnt mention is that his is an H code L-65 2 barrel car.A lot of things are real nice and correct about that resto,and many could easily be changed,but you would think that if the car's claim to fame were it's lowly 2 barrel,he would have at least put it on the car.

regardless of the hysterical story, it appears to be a decent buy for a Camaro, despite the story I should say

the old fart with the RV really must be lonely, he had this coot going with his "Hey honey, I found another one of the 8 ..." story

too funny, glad the RV tale spinner caught on to this clown and played his game and had fun

I agree.It is actually a nicer restoration.Not super correct even in the finishes,but the fact is that I have seen some driver quality cars with the bottoms covered in undercoating and sheet metal over the heater box selling for as much as this car.I consider it to be a clean Sunday driver that would show well at most local shows.If the guy got over 40 grand for it,I would say that somebody was getting ripped,but you couldnt pay to have this kind of job done for that price.
