How do the slicks bite with a couple inches of snow on the track?

I am not surprised how many factory assembly markings that have been found on this 67. Being a Pennsylvania car its entire life that is a true testament on how John cared for this car. I have never seen such a pristine subframe/suspension components on a 1st generation camaro.

that's pretty cool,never knew there was any connection between the Russo's and Yenko..other than both being in Canonsburg. early 80's a good friend worked at that gas station and I can remember hanging out with him there. don't ever remember it being Sunoco back then..but that was a long time ago,you know how memories are..lol you guys are doing a beautiful job on this car,can't wait to see it done!

Throughout the years the station changed Brands/Names...according to Rich it’s probably been 4-5 different stations. I think it started as an Essex ?
