James:

I got a call from a friend of mine about this car in Niles, Michigan. He said that a friend of his owned it and he was a Ford guy and just wanted to get rid of it. When I saw the color combination (716 U2), I knew I was going to buy it. It had all the ear-marks of a Z/28. The right booster, decal in the glove box, 12-bolt, etc. but it didn't have the original engine. When I told him that he took me to another bldg. and low and behold the original VIN stamped MO block, 1178 crank, date coded heads, carburetor and intake. Well, I bought it. When my friend who told me about the car called he said, "I knew that you would buy it because it was a blue Camaro". Ya think?
