Nice work Phil....

Re: Camaro History On Display Tomorrow Evening
 

The car was on Ebay and a no sale at around 35k. I remember thinking that was crazy for a 6 cylinder car. But need that it was number 1.

That's incredible. Thank you for posting...any chance at all it will be at MCACN? I would dearly love to see this car up close as it is such a historical piece.

I didn't see the shifter in any photos but the under hood shot looked like it is 3 on the tree, column shift. I remember a few Camaros and Firebirds equipped that way.

The cost of the restoration is estimated at $250K [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/flag.gif[/img] Many-many NOS parts used on this car. </div></div>

$250K Yikes, is this for real?

Re: Camaro History On Display Tomorrow Evening
 

For real...Ownership cost including the restoration cost and a boatload of NOS parts is currently at $250K.

Example: Current owner located the guy who made the car into the bushmaster. The original engine and the front sheet metal are in the guy's barn. Grille is broken but the rest is otherwise complete. Owner of the car had to buy the entire contents of the barn from the now very old race car guy just to get the front sheet metal...guy who had it was crazy and would not separate anything so he had to buy it all.

This was the Bushmaster race car.

Re: Camaro History On Display Tomorrow Evening

When he bought the front sheetmetal were they the orig fenders and that is why no Camaro emblem ?
