Here's the semi-barn find feel to the story. It wasn't in a barn, but in the back of my buddy's mechanic/body shop. Like I mentioned before, I wrecked my 73 Camaro, just built the engine and transmission in it, so I needed a body for them. He said "I got the Z in the back", and with a little reluctance because I was into early 2nd Gen Camaros, not really 1st Gens,..I said yes and we struck a deal. Here's what it looked like in that back garage.
Notice, I installed a 68 SS hood on it, and front and rear spoilers, (straight from Scuncio's part dept. because they were still open in 81 and were one town away from me)..before I even took the dust off of the car...lol. You can see the Dana 60, complete with wheelie bar brackets, narrowed leaf springs, and still wearing slicks.
