Boy this one always draws controversy every time it pops up on this site. Here are the photos I took from 2006:

------Whenever Im looking for the BIG bucks on a car I scare up a set of "ROAD HUGGERS" too!!!

------And as a sidebar in relation to the tach, I think we probably can all agree that the car started life as a small block. There wouldnt really be much reason to change the heater box out to a small block style for any reason that I can think of.......Bill S

Comparing my photos (see car poster above) to the current ebay ad it looks like in 2006 the 3rd owners name was Robert Johnson of Mesa, AZ. Robert Anthony Wallace of Munds Park, AZ who has the current ebay ad states he had bought the car from the original owner and it has been in his collection for 4 years ("I Robert A. Wallace, Knowing the history of the Camaro, I bought it and picked it up in Alabama from the original owner, Mr. Bianchi"). Maybe he sold it to Robert Johnson and bought it back from him, but he makes it sounds like there have only ever been TWO owners.

I spoke to ohhmy (Stan) a couple months ago about this car and he had not learned anything new, but was still looking. I will touch base with him and see what is up.

This Camaro was sent to the Nickey Registry, here in Chicago's Burbs, for inspection and/or possible certification, a few years ago.

Don Swiatek and the Team, inspected the car and the docs presented to us, at that time.

We were not able to include this Camaro, in the Registry on any level, based on that which was provided to us.
