Default Re: Vintage Camaro Pics

Dealership is as noted on the rear quarter panel.
Mussalem motors. Still there as Mussalem Chev Olds.
Back then it was in the middle of nowhere.
Buck Kinney, being a racer & a young mechanic there, talked the owner into bringing in 3 cars. They apparently sold so fast the dealership tried to bring in more but couldn't get them. There's a great story about the one car that was restored. A Camaro guy named Gary Grant came accross a 427 COPO engine & used the VIN to track down the original car.
The car was then totally restored, I'll see if I can dig up the whole story as it was in a local magazine a while ago.
I believe the picture is one of the 3[img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif[/img]
