Default Re: Just found a picture of this!

OK, then it is true that the car was an original big block? I knew the man who owned it lived on Pineland Rd. Right off of 422 wst in Exeter. The son of Gene's Autobody owned it. I was told that the car was never originally a bb car and that it was a 6 banger. I didn't know it at the time it was forsale that it was the Shangrila Camaro. I just heard the price was a little outrageous for what it was, but never knew then. I called the owner 2 yrs ago and he told me he had just sold it and wasn't revealing anything. I was respectful, but upset in the same breath. I think that car is wild. As far as the previous history of the origins of that car, not sure. My cousin talks to Bob often so I asked him tonight if I could maybe get ahold of him and talk to him about the car. I think that a local guy did the paint job! I might be in luck because some of those guys still are around here. I want to dig into this car's history a bit. From what my cuz told me, he lives like 2 min away from me. I heard that he didn't race the car too much. Kinda put too many eggs in one basket! As far as the Willys goes, I think my dad said it was in the late 60's early seventies. That was my dad's gf at the time and I think she knew the owners of the car! I could barely make out the names on the roof, but I think you are right about that. What else do you know about the Camaro? I know the guy took it back to what it was, but did it stay in this area?
