I still have nightmares about trailering my old hemi ragtop years ago in that blizzard. Can you imagine flat toeing that Camaro on that dinky trailer hitch for 3000 miles behind that Chevelle?

Imagine the brake fade coming down the mountains.

Addressing a few items: The RS emblems represent Roberto Schneiders initials and were installed by Joel Rosen as a tribute due to the magnitude of the purchase and RS's family background. They are present in photos of the car new, and when found in the late 80's. I have all the original RS and 427 emblems the car was born with. This includes the front grill where the RS emblem has never been removed. In addition the original order invoice specifically calls for removal of all SS emblems.
As far as other stories, I have a series of photos chronicling Roberto's arrival on his 2nd trip to NY to pay the balance and take delivery. This includes a photo of JR prepping one of his open chambered Tahiti boats. RS was taken for one wild ride. He told me he actually hoped JR would back off. In the end he had to as the Long Island police in a helicopter stopped them for speed in excess of 100mph. JR was issued a $150 ticket.
And yes Sam I did kick the back end of the car on the golf cart path en route to the field but was respectful of the fairway unlike the Trans Am cars.

------I just keep coming back to this thread and it gets better and better. I have to say that even with all the press the green car has gotten over the years and its magnificent condition I simply would kill for that Chevelle. Of the two thats IT for me.........Bill S

Mike,

Great job posting the pictures. This is an incredible car with an equally incredible history. Having the Camaro twin and the WayneS Yenkos at the show was the icing on the cake. A great weekend of muscle car overload.

Hat's off to Mark, Jim and Wayne for displaying some of the best of Muscle Car history.

Phil Woj.
