That one's not an RS Helmut. It's a base car that someone put the split bumpers onto and doesn't have the converted front end pieces. As you can see, it has the rectangle park lights below the bumper. RS has round ones above the bumper which is the easiest way to spot a real RS car.

Good point. I used to know that, but haven’t looked at 2nd gen Camaros for many years. I got fooled by a quick glance at the split bumper. Oops!

If only we could remember the differences in all the cars we love, and all of the year to year changes between them. It's an ever-evolving learning process for me.

I haven't found the second Gen I wanted (Yet), but think I found the right 55 Post to tweak and finish off/build with my son. Hoping to close on it today and start tweaking it this summer. A real solid older hot rod with good bones and such. More on that later.

I'll still keep my eyes open for a good 2nd gen roller but have time to be a bit more discerning about the quality of the body and panel.

Later...

Looking forward to seeing pics of that ‘55 post!

I recall the ‘55 that I used to see you run around in... if memory serves me correct?

Yup...started building this one in 2010 and kept it until 2014 when I sold it. It now resides in Riverside CA and is naturally aspirated at 732hp on pump gas, which makes for a fun little street machine. About to start another one but this time it'll be all period correct Day II stuff and a roller small block.
