Closeup of the newly restored cut-away engine...

This is a totally original '69... is that some sort of strange air horn there?

A bright body...

That engine stand looks strangly familiar.

The flap on the air horn worked like a choke, I think.

Nope, that's the siren for an old fashioned vintage alarm system. I'd be looking for the key switch somewhere on the body. Back then they used to drill a hole in the fender for the switch. OUCH!

Steve, good call on the air horn. I was looking at the air cleaner.
You are right on about the alarm key on the fender, and they were quick to rust since the switch was just bolted on.
The alarm wasn't much good if the car was towed, a method still used by thieves today.

That "engine stand" is a Camaro sub-frame... it's a part of the Cutaway Camaro display.

On the "totally original '69" I wonder why they don't at least dust the engine compartment... I guess they think that the dust lends to the "totally original" feel.

One of the first "options" that my Dad put on his '68 Camaro was one of those musical horns. It had three horns, and could play a variety of tunes. Everybody around town knew him for that

It's amazing the amount of conversation one can have about floors... maybe I should taken a closeup picture of the floor there at Rick's... now I know better
