Warren Malkin Jr. (workinprogress)

[Mec]

I do not post a lot.

I knew Warren for about 36 years and he was an encyclopedia of information about the 1969 Camaro. I will add a little insight to the Warren I knew. I first met Warren in 1986, shortly after purchasing my 1969 Z /28 from the original owner. Warren had posted a Camaro parts ad in a classified newspaper in Connecticut, called the Bargain News.

After talking with Warren on the phone several times, he invited me down to his house which at the time was part of an old estate. I knew it was going to be a great day when I pulled up. There were several classic muscle cars parked in the yard. Two Z/28s and a Yenko Nova. There were several other muscles cars there that day which were part of his collection. Warren was very private on what was in his collection.

Warren greeted me at the door and invited me in. The day just got better and better with the collection of parts, cars and advertising material that he showed me.

Warren stopped by my house in the fall of 2019 to look at some of the items on my Z, as he was getting his Z ready for the upcoming show in Chicago.

He really enjoyed helping people and was a great guy. I have fond memories of that day.

RIP my friend.

Really sad to hear this about Warren, RIP. I didn't know him well but he and I corresponded occasionally regarding my build. He would kindly point out where I had made a mistake and explain to me what was correct. I really appreciated his expertise. The master cylinder on my car was one of several parts I bought from Warren. At the 2019 MCACN show, Warren was kind enough to stop what he was doing and help get my wife and I into the show on Friday before it was open to the public. Just a great guy and very knowledgeable enthusiast.
