Are we allowed '2nd guesses'???  If so, I'll add 14.1 to my previous guess of 14.0 (since someone just got 13.9)... :)

Danny:  Some one posted a link to a butternut yellow '69 Z28 over on TC.. looks like a nice car, and would sit really well next to your '68 in your garage.. :)

I should have prefaced that the guess by post 762, has NOTHING to do with me stating that someone is close. Does that make sense. In other words, I just read the WHOLE post before I made that comment at post 763. So please don't think you need to guess all around THAT 762 guess.
 As far as posting more than one guess, I would say no at this point. Ya can't get excited and change your guess, cause " I " got excited  ;D ;D  Otherwise it would not be fare, or is it fair. D

Ok guys, sorry took so long, but I worked 11 hours straight today, and am DEAD on my feet!! Also my computer went back to factory settings, cause I chose some wrong recovery selections. It is ALL the way back to a new computer status. It's got my whole life on there, I am devastated. It's touch and go says the computer tech guy, as I may have lost ALL: my emails, documents and pictures...

 However I am at the girlfriends computer so I can announce the winner!!

   The mileage was 13.1... And the winner is Vince, reply #770 on Aug. 30th at 8:24pm. He was .4 away from an exact guess. Well done everyone, I hope ya all had fun with it. I know I did and thanx to the higher ups for letting me have a little fun with my online Camaro buddies. And I am sure we don't wanna turn this into a game show, so I won't be starting a new challenge..

 Vince, I will contact you when things get worked out with my computer. If you want one of the items already pictured, LMK..
O/w I will send you some more pictures of 3 or 4 more items to choose from.. It's up to you... Danny

I can't believe it, I won.  I was just thinking that even with rather conservative driving I couldn't see any first gen Z getting much more than 12. something MPG. 
Danny, thank you for running the contest.  I hope your computer and all info on it can be saved.  Since I don't really need any parts I'll take the AC Delco Batteries sign.  You can contact me when you can Danny. 
Did I mention that I really appreciate this website and all the guys on it and the info they are more than happy to provide.

VINCE!!   8)    I am back in action. Just gotta download a couple more programs. Thank goodness it thru everything on my external hard drive. I was SUPER stressed.. Cost me $500!! out of MCACN monies :( :(
 
 Ok, the Delco Batteries sign is nice. Pretty much perfect NOS with VERY minimal flaws. PM me your address and I will get it wrapped and shipped out in a few days.. Thanx again CRG for this little contest. And Congrats again to Vince... Danny
