PaulT,

Very cool. Could you post some pics of the car back when you owned it? I'm sure most guys here would appreciate seeing them and hearing any of your old war stories about the car.

I will try to find some of the old photos if possible I did give Al some when he first restored the car. I do remember having a news clipping of the car at the 68 auto show at Cobo Hall Detroit. At that time they had fabbed a complete Corvette IRS rear end onto the camaro but later put it back to stock because the car didn't launch as good at the strip. I do have a photo of it pulling the front wheels just off at the 68 Indy Nationals. I remember having the right rear axle pad re-welded to the tube due to a crack that was leaking after one night racing Woodward. I guess winding that little motor to 6500 and power shifting was a little too much but it wound to 7000 with not a wimper. Boy do I miss that as my current 67 RS has a 406 and sure doesn't like anything over 5800 but has tons of torque not like having to launch that MO at 2800 and slip the clutch just to keep it from stalling. I will see if I can scan some photos and give you guys some more stories.
