Anyone done this?
« on: January 23, 2015, 01:23:35 AM »
As I was looking over the cars at Mecum today, I caught this out of the corner of my eye thinking that doesn't look right...

Bill, I am surprised! Don't you know your rare options. That is the rare: I don't know anything about Camaros or WTF I am doing option. LOL, Good catch.
P.S. Not that rare of an option anymore. Becoming more and more common these days.

How was the car being represented? Not unusual for an an overflow to be adapted to a car. What about that fuel filter? So many things wrong with cars at these puffed up auctions. Many who have no clue about body and paint are buying hacked together butchery. Same as most cars sold on the internet. It's at an auction so the quality must be superb.

I bet there's a window sticker and p.o.p. With it, I will see how it's coded tomorrow!
I did see a super nice 68 rally green z today that the owner might be on here. Right beside it was an interesting red base v8 car with a nice paint job. I looked in the trunk to see hacked up outer wheelhouse. You have to be careful checking to see if quarters were cut off. You might need a tetanus shot

Not a bad solution, as long as you don't need the windshield washers.

X2. It was required when I raced my Z28 at Baylands Raceway.  :)

That Fremont location was a good one, I wish they wouldn't have shut it down. A lot more street racing took place after that

Yup, it keep me out of trouble during high school. Between drag racing and motocross racing, if I wasn't doing homework, I was prepping my Camaros and dirt bikes for the next race.

I used to race BMX over there as well during the early 80's.

Cool! Me too, but in Oakland. I still have my Champion BMX bike!  :)

Thats funny. I had a 1983 diamondback silver streak that got stolen in early 84. I got the wild idea of finding a 83 silver streak last year, I had no idea they were so expensive. I have about 95% of the parts now. Kind of a back burner resto project.

Sorry to get off topic.
