"Baby Pictures" of your supercar....

[Bill Pritchard]

In a previous post here I made mention of a friend's 68 Camaro SS396 L89, one of 272 produced that year. Here are some pictures of it when I bought it in early 1980, from another friend. Back story.....I've known this car since 1972, when my friend Bruce bought it from a salvage yard as a running, driving car. He went thru the motor and added headers, a Hurst Super Shifter, and probably a few other goodies that I've forgotten. Factory 4.10 gear, and I think it's an M21, not M22. This thing ran really strong. I had planned to do a total resto on it, but a couple months after I bought it, I had the opportunity to buy a 70 Dodge Hemi Challenger from the original owner, a guy that I worked with. So, I jumped on that opportunity and sold the Camaro to my friend Brian, who still owns the car.
