It's funny. The guy said he never took a picture of the car. In fact we were laughing about it cause when I showed up there he took a picture and said "Well I guess this is the first picture I ever took of it".
There were only 2 items that he took of the car. Care to guess the first one?? Smog! Then he replaced the heads after getting a call from the dealership. Get this. He took the car in for an charging problem check up. They called back and said they had to tow the car cause the mechanic pulled out a bunch of studs during a "road test". I imagine he was checking to see of the tach would go to 11. Anyway the parts are long gone.
And yes when I took the picture of my kid I was thinking the same thing. Mike Score Jr. (Lead Singer of the Seagulls). [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif[/img]

Frank- Still waiting for the 2nd owner to find the Protect o Plate in the haystack..

No they were press in. He commented that he tried to get a set that were screw in from his brother-in-law (who worked the dealer parts counter). But none were available yet.

Very nice story Darren,I bet the first owner was very proud to see that the car was in that quality of condition.I bet after you left he had dreams of the camaro that night.
