When I was in the area I would randomly stop by and ask about the car since I knew about it. He would tell me some stories now and then. He was going to use the 12 bolt rear out of it for a 1970 Nova he had but he sold that since he damaged it trying to put it up on some wire spools with a bucket loader. A young lady also came outside and was glad that someone was interested in getting the &quot;junk&quot; out the yard. I also bought a 1969 B-Body Dana 60 from him on my visit 2 years ago which softened him up. To be honest, I am not going to build it. It was a cool car and I hated seeing it sit so I had to save it before it wasn't worth saving at all. It would make an excellent and cool project for someone.

It seems like old race cars Come back to life,That camaro would be Perfect to Build up &quot;Street Racer&quot; style-it has a history of it and some old school modifications already done to it,If you could get some pic's of the car in its Glory-that would be iceing on the cake......

In the close up shot of the 12 bolt, it appears that the pass. side frame rail is split / rotted? Or is it the picture?

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Fast67VelleN2O</div><div class="ubbcode-body">The car has a lot of surface rust on the suspension parts but is surprisingly solid underneath. It was undercoated since new. Frame rails, shock mounts, torque box areas, front subrame, cowl and windshield area, rockers, braces, etc are all rock solid. Typical fender, door and quarter panel rust and the driver's side footwell has two small holes.

That is a piece of undercoat that has flaked off. The paint underneath is glossy.

Interesting update. This car just came back to me yesterday. It's changed hands 2 times since I've sold it. A lot of the cool parts are missing but still has the tow tabs, the 12 Bolt, and the whole stick setup. I bought it cheaper this time than I originally did the first time. The first pic is how it left me. The rest is how I just got it back.
