I asked my friend Michael, the previous owner of the '67 Camaro, how he acquired the car. This is his story.
"At the time I was buying and sell cars on Craigslist. One day I saw an ad for a 67 R/S Camaro for sale with no pictures. Father and son project, true R/S with 32,000 miles in south Jersey. He wanted $5,500 for it, no less. I loaded the trailer up and drove 2 hrs. She was all apart but all there. His son wanted the Camaro at one time but lost interest in it, and now wanted a 78 Corvette. As far as I know it's a one was owner car before him; an old lady had the car new and only drove to store and round town. It just sat outside and started to rust (body) and she never drove it again. On the day I got there he had 4 people already there looking at the car, they all wanted it then. I had the cash and trailer and that how I got it. . he wanted it out that day. It ran but was backfiring. Debra was not happy when she saw it."

I put together a YouTube video with the photos Michael sent to me of the restoration of the Camaro...
