"The original Belly Tank Lakester was found in a barn in Long Beach, California, and restored for its current custodian Bruce Meyer by Pete Chapouris' crew at, where else but the SO-CAL Speed Shop"

They showed the video & photos of the original find on a Cable show recently,and it was amazing to see them find this up in the rafters of the Old dusty Barn.

Sounds too cool! . Love to see that video someday....wow, what a 'barn find'! . I was watching an original tank only last year on eBay....it was the same P38 tank or whatever the Co-Cal was made from and someone had saved it from a kiddie-ride at a fair. . It went cheap, a couple hundred bucks I think? . Sure gets a fella' thinking....dreaming? ~ Pete

What do you mean?...that's the new retro Camaro design, only its just about 60 years retro, instead of the 36 year old version we have wished for.

great car, still think the $ should have been spent on developing a new camaro, just wonder which exec will end up with the roadster in their garage
