Interesting how the exhaust manifold flanges are painted orange. I would have thought that the mask would have went below that area with the aluminum heads. Looks like a very defined line. Learn something new every day.

With regards to the smog hose running between the heater hoses, I have documented a couple of survivor Chevelles with the hose running that same way but very rarely done that way.

Love this Camaro.

Anyone know what year the green ISCA sticker is? I have the same one on my car.

Rick - noticed the same with the orange paint on the exhaust manifolds and smog tube. Good eye.

The ISCA sticker was put on by me. I attended the The World Of Wheels car shows at the Philly Civic Center from 87-93. Then a couple times with the racecar.

Ah, gotcha. Do you know what year the green sticker is, or is that one used for a few years?

Wasn't sure if they changed colors or not, thanks.

Nice race car. Tell us more please

Time for next caretaker
 

Hey all. I figured this would be the best space to put this update as this thread hosts so much information on the car. First, I want to thank all the members that I have been in touch with since Dads passing. Your kind words and gestures bring a smile to my face. Dad was such a fan of this page and made lasting friendships with many of you.

My sister and I want to make sure Mom is well positioned for the future and whatever that may bring, so the time has come to send the Camaro off to its next care taker. We are currently working with BringaTrailer.com to list and auction the car in the next couple of weeks. I’m not sure of the forum rules, but if someone could let me know if I’m allowed or not, I would like to share that with the members here when it goes live.

In posting about this car, it has been so amazing and comforting to see how my dad is remembered in the Camaro community and I am genuinely honored to be able to call him my Dad. Thank you all so much!


Below is one of the photos from this past Tuesday for the listing. A beautiful piece of automotive history…

Wow!! Love to hear it!!!

I am one of those guys that met your dad from this site and we became very close internet friends and he invited me to his home several times but the timing just never worked out. I always told him I would own this car some day so we will see what fate brings as I am not a huge fan of the first gen Camaros but this car always hit a place in my heart. We pray the family is adjusting each day to your loss. Great man for sure and I miss our frequent talks.

Please keep us posted on the BaT auction.

Jeff Jr.

Nice to see you chime in again and hope you're all doing well. Please keep us posted on the BAT listing, and any announcments.

We all miss your Dad. I can still here him say...I gotta guy!

He was truly bigger than life.

Just noticed this '68 photo having the very rare '67/'68 TTD wheels made just for the early style fixed calipers for the camaro/chevelle. Rare because they were discontinued shortly after when the floating piston caliper came about in '69. Not sure how long they were manufactured after that point. These were 15x7s, not the 15x6 versions designed for the midyear vettes. They have a unique small diameter lug not that I don't think is available now.

Reserve not met, high bid $71,500.

Located right in my back yard. This is very tempting.
