I went to the closest junk yard over the Christmas break. Spent over an hour in the freezing cold. Not a Camaro to be found, not even a shell. You are very fortunate.

Those types of "junkyards"  are few and far between.  Most of them crushed all the cars decades ago.

Yes, I would go nuts if I found a Camaro in a junkyard.

Pretty much. Still one here from the 20s. I pulled a complete 67 RS out 4 years ago. Still a 68 sitting there. Get into the backwoods and keep on motoring, you'll find many cars. There's a lot more iron out there than people think.

Reminds me of a trip to South Carolina years ago with my parents.  We stayed at a hotel called the Thunderbird.  Behind the hotel was a lot with a bunch of old cars.  There were Demons, Trans Ams, and lots of nice cars that were way nicer than some cars that I have restored.  Anyway. there was a 69 Camaro that was as solid as could be.  There was no rust to speak of.  In the glove box was the protecto plate  and a bunch of paperwork.  It showed that the last time the car had been registered was om 1974.  I asked around and no one knew who owned the cars as I wanted to buy the car.  Anyway, I grabbed the POP and paperwork and still have it to this day.   This was the late 80's or early 90's if I remember.  Those days are gone, or so I thought.   It is cool to still see these around.
