When was the picture taken?

Early spring, 1991, because I had to letter one of these Camaros up for the racing season.
I did see this Pontiac as recently as 2002, but it was rusty, and he had a 350 in it. I'll be back there again shortly, and I'll have a look for it.

Definately not the same car then.Oshawa told me (4)2+2 454 convertibles built in 1970.

There were approx 4 70 2+2 convert's with 454 - I know of and have talked to the owner of one in Iowa which had the 454 390 hp swapped for an LS7. I currently have a 70 2+2 convert with 400 cu inch and owned a 70 strato chief - ex RCMP pursuit car with 454. I sold car when I was 18 and vehicle history ended 4 years later at a scrap yard in about 1979. Car had 345 hp with dual chrome exhaust tips put on by the RCMP. Wish I could find that car again. Also would be interested in knowing of anyone has seen or heard of any other 70 2+2's with the 400 - I have never seen in a convert. Also would like to tt other 70 2+2 owners.

Being a RCMP vehicle the Strato Chief was a four door and yes I do have the VIN based on the MOT search that I did five years ago. It was black and later painted blue when I owned it. Car had 2.73 highway gears and you could pin the 140mph speedo. It was a great sleeper car and was pretty quick off the line as well. I am wondering of anyone knows if you can buy partial rear quarter panels for my 70 2+2 - my left rear needs replacing - thanks.

Hey Pete;
Attached is a photo a buddy of mine sent me a while back. This Sackville N.B. 67 RCMP cruiser had a 427. Any idea what province your car was from?
