Default My "Day 2" 1968 Camaro find & purchase

So I have been chasing this car for the past 10 years. Its a 1968 Camaro. Appears to be an original 327 4 speed car that was blue-blue. The guy I purchased it from had it on the road the last time in 1980 and it has sat in the same spot ever since. It was a worked LS7 454 powered, M22, 12 bolt with 5.13's. Engine and trans are gone. Has home made ladder bars, Lakewood 3 point, super shifter, Hurst line lock, tach drive SW tach, NMW tow tabs, lots of front end tricks, and other cool stuff. He claimed it went 10.30's @ 130mph. I finally got him to get off the car. Surprisingly, the car is very solid underneath. Here are some pics. Special thanks to John (C1SS396) and my Dad for all the help getting it home today.

-Matt

Looks like a fun project you got there. No NMW tow hub used for the ride home?

I brought them with me just in case I needed them if the rear drums were stuck. Didn't use them though.

What kind of wheels were on it?? Looks like steel wheels on the slicks due to the rust??
