LOL. That camera was a twenty year old Pentax that my dad gave me when I was 13 years old. I still have it! I spent most of my time as the official evidence gatherer and documenter of all thing devious back then.



One of these days one of those guys is gonna run for president and I'll have some great blackmail material. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]

Great find. I've always liked the styling of the 1978-81 Camaros. I hung on to my 1978 Z28 I bought new in July, 1978. It currently has 87,000 miles and is all original except for mechanical items that have been replaced, console box, and headliner. I added an IROC style front air dam within the first six months I had it. Hope yours turns out just like you want it to.

I remember one of those around here with those 69 emblems on it. </div></div>

I located the car in south jersey - the nephew had acquired the car from his uncle who owned it since 1985. The car spent all its years in Thornton, PA so it is possible that this was one that you saw. Not many with those incorrect old school Z fender emblems.

The car was garaged its whole life - I would say it probably has never seen road salt or snow either. It has the usual minor cancer marks but nothing severe and nothing requiring more than a little torch work and tiny patch panels.

These cars are really starting to disappear. Not so long ago they were cheap undesireable cars but that tide has turned. There are some out there but not many factory 4 speed t-top cars.

Trying to decide what to do with it. I have half a mind to strip it down and do a full factory restore on it. On the other hand, I am thinking to strip down, cosmetically restore to stock but drop the entire drivetrain for a built LS3 and 6 speed so I can run it and enjoy it. We have done many old school meets new technology builds but have not done any on a 2nd gen yet. If I went that route I would have to keep the car and enjoy it as it would cost more to build than the market would bring on it.

I have to get out and rip that back seat out. Dying to see if that virgin build sheet is tucked in there. Not much about the car to learn from it but just something about finding that sheet of paper that has not seen daylight in 33 years that gets you psyched. </div></div>

If I only had every one (35) of those 1977-1981 Camaro and Trans Ams that I parted out between 1995-2000 I would bea rich man now.

Pictures were taken in Woodbridge, NJ. I live in Staten Island but we have properties in north jersey where my brother took the car to.

I purchased the car in Merchantville, NJ but it did spent its entire life in PA.

Better come up with something worse than that if you want them to compete with the other cadidates. If his opponents posted these photos I would certainly vote for him!

Merchantville has a HUGE car show every year that attracts thousands of people and 600 cars.. Its 5 minutes from me..

They will always remind me of high school! I went on my first date in one. I definitely liked the car more than the guy! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img] He had almost no personality and ALL he listened to was J. Geils! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/crazy.gif[/img] Don't get me wrong...I like J. Geils, but he opened his cassette tape case and EVERY cassette in there was from the J. Geils Band! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img] Their song &quot;Centerfold&quot; will always remind me of my high school days too...but not that guy [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img], as it came out after I went out with him. Those of you who were in high school about that time will probably remember this video [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img] [video:youtube]http://vevo.ly/en3kwJ[/video]

Reminds me of Jeff Spicolli thrashing and wrecking that silver Z28 on Fast Times at Ridgemont High.

Nice find!
