Very cool. Just a observation, but you have way too much air in the rear tires.

Good eye that was the day they were installed. I have since lowered the psi to 20 and it fixed the problem. Actually it "helped". Previous owner of tires ran them a while over inflated so the center has more wear.

I wonder if you ever just sit and watch everyone's reactions when they see this car for the first time....I can only imagine 1000% in favor.

More photos keep surfacing. I'm thankful to Todd Cremean for sharing these priceless (to me anyway) photos.

Here is an interior photo of the '55 Bruce got himself into trouble with before serving overseas as part of the Vietnam War effort. He would get so many points on his driving record for racing/speeding that he would have to attend court. Bruce said no insurance company would cover him. The judge then offered him jail time or to serve. He chose the latter.
Also pictured is the 66 Chevelle he crashed upon his return from overseas. Bruce's son Todd, who provided the photos, said Bruce had the '66 repaired before trading it in for the Camaro. This explains why the "new" Chevelle was a trade in on the sales paperwork.
I'm still hoping Todd is able to find more on the car including the POP. He is slowly going through everything. Bruce said the 55 would rot on his property and he scrapped it. However, Todd says Bruce cut out the dash and saved it before having the car scrapped.
