The statement that it is only original once refers to this car! This car is one of the few bench mark 1st generation Camaro’s. All of the parts are original to the car, even the tires and exhaust!
The original owner obviously did his homework before buying this car! He checked off all of the right boxes; 396/375, M22, 4:10, F41 suspension, quick ratio steering and a cowl hood. If that is not enough, the car is Tuxedo Black! No console or radio, if did not make the car go faster or handle better it was not ordered!
The new caretaker Doug (Doug always refers to himself as the “new caretaker” because in Dougs eyes, it will always be the original owners car), is always open to sharing his knowledge and his cars to help with the hobby and its growth.
I am looking forward to seeing it displayed in Chicago for the first time in 53 years!
Doug was challenged to bring a car to MCACN in 2022, I would say he met and exceeded the challenge!
