Good for you Rich, is there a thread out there about your Camaro? I love a good story of long lost rides getting a new life.

I really don’t understand.....rebody and “period correct” engine and trans. What is real “Yenko” here? The VIN? Do hidden VINs match VIN plate? Data plate real/original to this body or transplanted when VIN tag was swapped? I didn’t see any mention of what rear is under there......

Basically the tulips and the rear package tray are the only original parts on the car.

Conflicted I am.... LoL

I totally get this. As Jerry Seinfeld says, "You can't drive your money." But you can rebuild your high school car and have fun driving it. Can't put a price on that.

"and I went ahead and put 20k in new metal in a 307 car. But it was the first car I kissed a girl in and first car that I owned and bought myself, at 16."

Not slammin your decision, but I would have had to have done more than kissed her.... or she would have to still be in my life. Just sayin.

Seriously though, if I found my 57 Chevy from high school, I would probably do the same thing. Two Ten model, two door sedan, 283 PG car. Nothing special.

Lets just say that my wife said the only part on the car she insisted that I replace was the back seat. She's heard the stories.

(which only become more grandiose over time )
