Re: Steve "Big" 's 68 Camaro
 

The local "street guy's / racers" in WV had a interesting acronym for FORD after many were beat by a Dean Chevrolet....I swear I've heard this from several different locals...FU&K Ol' ROGER DEAN!

I've heard stories about them lining up on the downtown streets and getting into stop light races with another local Mopar dealer while they were trying to do Demo's. Anything to lure a potential customer to Dean's lot.

Hope you enjoyed a bit of History on one of the unsung greats from the day. I'm always looking for more info... hint hint [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]

I've been looking for a new trailer and don't need to be hasseled by Troopers after hearing so many towing stories . So, I figured it was time to weigh the Camaro. Headed down to the certified scales and got an actual curb weight. With 3/8 tank of fuel, American Mags, and no driver it came in @ 3440 lbs. Surprisingly a bit higher than I estimated. With me in it...yikes. Options like A/C &amp; 8-trk can pack on the pounds!

Scored a few neat Dean items for the Camaro. A fellow sYc member and great friend Woj was in West Palm and picked these up for me. Still owned by the Dean family, and as close as I can get to the old Charleston dealership. Same logo since at least 1953, plate frames and stickers...Thank you Phil!

Re: Steve "Big" 's 68 Camaro
 

Thanks guys!

Mike,

It was a LOT better this year, esp on Sunday. I think the weather had a lot to do with it. I'd go as far and say it was their best day in the last 10 years, 225+ cars. They had some neat first gens, a killer 70 L-78... The first and last 2016 COPOS. I never had mine judged, just display. Settlemire came over to talk and surprised me.

BTW...There was a 68 claiming to be Grumpy's Toy IV there as well. Everyone can make their own decisions on this one.

Re: Steve "Big" 's 68 Camaro
 

Big, was that '68 claiming to be Grumpy's from Pittsburgh?

Re: Steve "Big" 's 68 Camaro
 

Yep....

Re: Steve "Big" 's 68 Camaro
 

Saw that at the PID show in Bridgeville in July. Not sure what to think about it, but the wife is vehement about it being a Grumpy Camaro.

Re: Steve "Big" 's 68 Camaro
 

I like to smile and nod....It's best to form ones own opinion on this Camaro. I'm sure as hell not going to poke a stick in that nest.
