Wow what a great find..Jeff you're going to have to be at SCR with it also, since all the work you put into it. Hope to see Steve, Jeff, and the Dana at the next SCR.

Thanks John...I'd like to figure a way to get Bert [the previous owner] there too for SCR-10 and maybe make a couple passes down the track before frame-off resto commences. That would truly be a highlight of the event for me to watch Bert jam gears in the Dana Camaro one-more-time.

Thanks to EVERYONE for the kind remarks. It was, at times, a nerve racking couple of years waiting for Bert to decide it was time/place to sell his special car. Can't say as I blame him for being somewhat reluctant.

Very nice find, Steve. It seems you've uncovered a project which will preserve yet another great car.

Larry [Pantera], Ed [55Chevy] and I very lightly prepped Larry's BM 'Vette to take it to the Supercar Convention. It was one of the best events I ever attended.

Larry's car was untouched after a lengthy hibernation. Caused quite a stir and provided lots of reference for the people who attended the show.

Add to that, I never saw Larry happier than when we were uncovering the car, planning its restoration and while we were in participation of the Supercar Convention. [see attachment]

Steve, I saw a small shot of a black plate. Were you lucky enough to get an original Dana plate frame? I know how hard they are to find. Even the famous camarojoe ain't got one!

+++ Steve +++ did your car have the ''Dana ''emblems ? they are near impossible to find?....Kasey

Kasey...I don't recall seeing any DANA emblems/badges in the pics that Bert & Jeff sent me, but there're several boxes of misc stuff coming with the car. Do you have a picture of one? I don't believe I've EVER seen one, anywhere.
