Had a few LM1 4 sp.'s that had tow hitches. Seems a lot cheaper and you got a 350, 12 bolt and multi-leaf.

At a friends shop for front end alignment, a/c charge and a few final mechanical adjustments. As soon as I get it home the door mirror, passenger seat and door panel, sun visors and console get installed. I think I'll finally call it finished after 15 years!
I'll get some better pics after I get it home. Here's a after / before. Hard to believe it's mostly (some new sheetmetal) the same car. I have to say I had a few knowledgeable Camaro enthusiasts tell me to part this car out after I found it due to the value of the JL8 rear. It's been a long road for this car due to life's circumstances but I am proud to have saved this particular car.

Gregg, do they offer vanity plates in your state? If yes you should try for JL8

Thanks everyone for the nice comments.
Yes, I lived in California when I bought it. It came from a weed filled back yard in San Diego County. I considered putting the hitch back on but have decided against it. Lee, if I keep the car I'll definitely look into the vanity plate. Just not sure if it fits into future plans at this point.
