Canuck finally finds a 68 Camaro in Corvette Bronz

[Canuck]

Well I finally did it,after searching for t he past 7 years I purchased a 68 Camaro in Corvette Bronz. The basis for my quest was my first car was a 68 ,327 Auto ,black deluxe Houndstooth interior, with CB paint. I wanted one again and was not particular about the engine type as long as it had that color and trim combo.
While attending the Portland swap meet a few weeks ago I spoke with a vendor who has his 68 since May 72 and was now ready to sell.
