Forget the car, I'd like his house!

Re: 1968 RS/SS Camaro
This may be a stupid question.... but... Why does it have the convertible brace underneath? Just an extra precaution that this guy took to ward off body twist?

Re: 1968 RS/SS Camaro
Nice to see a '68 RS with the silver horizontal grille bars. Seems like one of those often-overlooked details.
Love '67-69 SS 396 cars without spoilers.  (I know Budnate, I know, you prefer spoilers!  )

Re: 1968 RS/SS Camaro
Crossmember almost looks like a SB unit. Isn't the BB X-member's tranny bolt hole offset to the right side? The convert brace might have been added by the dealer or an owner to stiffen the car up a little. My buddy's '67 396/4-speed Camaro would pop-open the pass door as well as the glovebox door under a firm launch. Maybe this car saw some hard work in its early years (NO!) and that's where the brace came from. Also, what's that square plate ahead of the X-member? Almost looks like an auto-trans pan even though it's clearly a manual car.
