Re: '69 Camaro 'drifter car
I guess its cool because he's exposing the muscle car to a new segment but I am very unattached to the sport in general.
Just my opinion, rice rockets should be drifters, not Camaros.

Re: '69 Camaro 'drifter car
That video reminds me of driving to and from high school back in the day. Cool. Drifting and muscle cars has been around for a long time, it was just called get'n sideways in my day.
 Putting on a show for the corner workers.

Re: '69 Camaro 'drifter car
Here's as link to a few 1LE-Players cars for sale/were for sale...no idea how old this page is? .
http://members.shaw.ca/tunedportinje...for%20Sale.htm Seems cheap if recent also that good old Canadian documentable thing comes into play. . I'd expect documents are available for all Camaros built at the St. Therese Canada plant? . The St. Therese plant buildings are all gone now aren't they? . ~ Pete

Re: '69 Camaro 'drifter car
I'm not sure if St Therese is completley closed,thought I heard the 5th gens were going to be built there. I'm pretty certain all the forth gen cars were built there-The early 1LE cars(88=91) were built at the Van Nuys plant,which closed in 92
 Here's a detailed account of them http://ve3eie.ncf.ca/1le_history.html
