67 Camaro Dig

A few years ago,I drove by a local Garage that was so packed with junk,you could barely notice there was a car in it.I approached the owner,but he was very reluctant to go in there.He is 62 today & has other things to tend to he said.I continued to follow up & bother him throughout the next few months.He finally agreed recently to let me in there,"IF" I helped him clean out his garage..(Like a kid in a Candy store

)
It took us several days to get everything out & organized,until we came upon this.His very first car,a 1967 Camaro 327-Manual coupe,that he bought brand new in August of 1967 at Bill Jacobs Chevrolet,right after he came home from Vietnam.

This Car has been sitting here since 1977,and still has near everything original to it.

Car is not for sale.Way to much sentimental value to him.
He Plans to restore & have fun with it.

Hmmmmmmm, where have I heard that before

Nice find, Rick

About 20 years ago, when I still owned my 70 Challenger, my father-in-law was strolling the streets of Downers Grove IL and found me a 70 Challenger convertible buried in someone's garage. I think the Camaro is in better shape than the Challenger was, but that didn't stop me from buying it!
