Robert,
Glad to hear it. I hadn't talked with you since before Christmas and assumed you were about there. Just don't let my buddy see the progress. He is still mad at himself for missing that car! I look forward to seeing it. Any progress on your research?
Rick

I am positive it is an original L-89 car based on information from the owner in 1985 (John). John was running a business that bought and sold Camaros and Camaro Parts in California. John saw the car driving around and stopped the owner and asked if he would sell the car. This guy knew nothing about cars, it was just tranportation to him. He was happy to sell because the gas mileage was killing him. He sold it so he could buy a Datson! Car was pretty original at that point. John does remember that the car had the deep groove pullies and 6,000 RPM tach, and the JJ code on the block. To him, back then, it was just another used Camaro that he could make a couple of dollars on. He paid $3,000 for it!!!

Where is that time machine when you need it!

I am waiting to hear if it will be invited to Meadow Brook Concours. Do you ever get out there?

Rob

Robert,
Not yet but that would be a very prestigous event to be invited to. Let me/us know if the car will be there.
