More breaking news- Les has determined that he did indeed eat corn a few days ago and this explains the presence of corn kernels during todays stool checking procedure. Date codes of said kernels will be forthcoming to confirm if they are NOS or in fact assembly line correct original corn kernels. This coupled with the carbon dating and forensics report from the lab will prove within 99.998% the exact origin of said corn. While not fully conclusive, Les has resolved to live with the uncertanty of this forthcoming vauge 99.998% affirmation that he indeed was the person who consumed the corn at the Las Vegas county fair last Friday night that is supposedly the same corn that recently passed through his system.

The original owner of the corn, farmer Robert O. MacDonald, could not be reached for comment or to provide period photographs of this years bumper crop of delicious corn.

Colin,

Is farmer Robert O. MacDonald also known as "Old Mac Donald"? If so, I MAY have a picture of him growing the corn that Les ate at the fair!

There are obviously some serious cases of cabin fever developing here in the midwest.

I appraised the car when Jim had it and it did come from Jerry B with what were said to be the original tires, and those tires are some vintage Goodyear Wide Tread GT, size F 70-15. Even if the date codes come up right, I would wonder if they weren't dealer swapped from a Yenko Chevelle or something. Check the dates on the wheels, compare them to the car and the tires. We've all come across wheel swaps done at the dealer for buyer's request or to replace stolen ones.

There wouldn't be any reason for a Camaro plant to have that size tire in stock (Although I guess you could argue the same about the L-72 engines and BE rears..)

Its a bit troubling to hear about the misplaced tires (glad they're found). PLEASE tell me it still has all of that cool documentation Jerry dug up and Jim preserved.

(Hopefully Dave C. is using this treasure hunting opportunity to fill the trunks of the auction cars with all of the "stuff" he has for them.)

Good luck on your fact-finding mission, Les.

I worked for Camaro Parts Exchange in the early '80s and distinctly remember selling Jerry B 2 of those tires at a swap meet in Indiana. Also, the car was photographed at the Hot Rod Supernats in the late '70s and it does not have OE tires on it in the photo.
