Rest in Peace Warren. A great guy obsessed with Camaro's. Probably one of the most if not the most knowledgeable Camaro parts guys on the planet. He and the late Frank DiHartze were what I consider the top two guys with all the rare parts. Just learned recently he was also a expert on pocket watches. It was really great that he got to bring his Z28 to MCACN before he got too sick.

Had the privilege to meet and talk some with Warren at 2019 MCACN. He was showing differences between assembly line and NOS emblems to a fellow with a large 69 Camaro collection. I was just trying to listen and learn . Warren made a point to include me in conversation and answer questions. We talked some more about 69 Camaros and cars after other fellow left . First time I had met him but was struck by his down to earth humble kindness . R I P and condolences to family and close friends .

Same with me. He had reached out to me in early 2019 because his silver JL8 Z was sold here. Turns out I was employed in the service dept at the selling dealer in 1969 but unfortunately had no memory of his car.
He was asking what dealer emblem would have been placed on it, I was able to help with that, and presented him with one when meeting him at MCACN.

Condolences to his family and friends, and RIP.

Hey Charlie, was this Warren's Z/28 I saw at MCACN 2019? It's the one with the JL8, crossram, and fiberglass hood.

Did not have a cross-ram. Had the fiberglass hood with the very rare single carb adapter and air cleaner.

Here's a closer shot of Warren's car's engine compartment and a sign he had made for the car.

Another shot with the right battery in it this time.

I had a few good looks at Warren's JL8 car in 2019 at MCACN, but never did manage catch up to him at the show. Here are a few pictures that I captured that weekend where I was back to study the car on at least 3 occasions.

RIP Warren, in addition to his Camaro knowledge, he had some interesting stories on Yenkos
