General Discussion / Whats the MOST ORIGINAL car you have ever had or seen?

« on: February 04, 2013, 07:03:22 PM »

  As I said in my intro post, I'm mainly interested in the 67. What's the MOST original, tires? Filters? Clutch?  Rubber? etc.You know, the stuff that gets replaced and thrown away. Hey, I can dream of my own "barn find" can't I?
  Were the 67-68's built in Van Nuys? I live about a mile from where the plant was.
  Were small block cars built at a certain plant, or were big block and small blocks built on the same lines?
Thanks!

General Discussion / Hello from a newbie.

 Hello all!
      The seems to be THE most comprehensive Camaro source there is, fascinating stuff.
I'm interested in GM, Chevy and automotive history in general. I'm considering making a database on GM suppliers, particularly the 30's through 60's. By suppliers I mean the companies that made rubber parts, carpet, dash knobs , doodads , etc. I'd like to see exactly how many business's were in involved, how many people employed, and the logistics of production.
      If you have anything to contribute, PLEASE DO! If you worked for GM or it's suppliers, I'd love to hear from you. Without history, there is no context, without context, no meaning. Looking forward to hear from you.Any leads on records available would also help!
Also legends and lore, Camaro related.
PS. Do any of you know why I chose the screen name I did?
                Thanks,
                     Gary
