When this car popped up there were a few people commenting about how much restoration it needed, etc but it looks like a killer to me..... with Killer Canadian docs:-)

Love it, especially that it is a 68:--) a little different:-)

Back in the day the place to street race here in Ottawa was Carling Avenue.This Camaro must have been a brute stop light to stop light!

Yes, the original owner was definitely into changing up the wheel and tire combo. The car currently has the same set of Cragars that were in the vintage front 3/4 shot picture.

Bill, it's funny you mention Carling Avenue...we drove past that street on the way to the bank, and he mentioned his parents street racing there back in the day! Small world. The two driveway pics are in front of his parents' old house in Ottawa. I don't know where the other pic on redline tires was taken....

Overall the car isn't too bad in terms of rust, just the usual Camaro problem areas.

Bruce...the previous owner still had both of those plates...but I knew they had sentimental value to him, so I didn't ask. I may scrounge up some 1968 Ontario plates on Ebay....
