Paul,
What do you have from Union Chevrolet?

Someone there had to know about ordering some cool cars.

Black, 4.10, M22, Z28, just sitting for inventory. I thought it was a cool story of a very unique Camaro.

The only other options were AM radio and console gages.

It seems that one of the subsequent owners had done a bunch of mail order business with Motion Performance.

Bummer, This mornings local newspaper has an article about lakeland dragstrip titled "The end of an era" very cool article, seems as if the remnants of the quarter mile blacktop dragstrip ie.. concrete walls, walkover, weathered sign, etc.. are about to be history, the main dragstrip is about to be the main street for a bunch of houses, killer article mentions the likes of "Big Daddy" Don Garlits, TV Tommy Ivo, Shirley "Cha Cha" Muldowney, "Dyno Don" Nicholson, "Jungle Jim" Lieberman, Bill "Grumpy" Jenkins, Raymond Beadle and Raymond Godman, Track was opened on July 4th, 1960.
