Wish I could find my old 68 I raced in the late 70s. The teak steering wheel is worth more then I sold the whole car for. Toughest motor Ive ever seen.

Awesome, nothing like a 69 Camaro. The day I bought my 69 Z a guy stopped by and wanted to buy it right off the trailer. I also bought a 69 Super Stocker in N.C. a few years back, was on I-85 for about 2 minutes and an SUV ran up to the door of the dually. I figured there was a chain dragging or something, not the case. These young guys were going crazy over that dust covered 69 Camaro on our open trailer. I dont think their girlfriends got it though! I like all cars, but all my dad heard from the time I was 13 was 69 Camaro. I am very happy for you.

Ahhh sounds like fate!! After growing up watching my old man race a 69 in S/G i got one first chance i had( graduation gift to myself). Through the ups and downs its been the one thing i could never part with and after sitting for 8 years i recently started "project stocker"

Wow, nice story. Like so many other Camaro fans, a '69 w/ RS package is my all time favorite car. Please keep us posted on its progression.

Congrats Jack. Seems like a rash of this happening. People getting their Z/28's back. Jim's been out in the garage ALOT lately!!! Another cool part of his, is that the title is STILL IN HIS NAME!

Have Fun!

Isaac - what's really amazing is how many of us had Z-28's back in the day .As for my title - its just a crumbled up forty year old piece of paper and I'm sure the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania will be glad to issue another when I send them their fees .

Found a great original picture earlier this evening and as soon as I remember how to change a tiff image to a jpeg I'll post it .

My bodyman stopped by the shop late this afternoon and told me how glad he was that I got my car back - he's known it almost since new - that and the fact that his daughters college tuition payment is due soon .He really didn't make my day but his sure picked up .

Jack, that's very cool that you got your old Z-28 back. My first musclecar was a Rally Green '69 when I was a Senior in High School, but I sold it to buy a nice '71 Camaro (seemed like a good idea at the time!) Many years later I tried to track it down with no success, so I bought my current '69 instead. This one used to be a hard running SS/JA & KA when raced by Louis Desjardins in the '70's and Fred Thibeault up until the late '80s, but now it's just a fun street/strip ride.

I still carry around the VIN # for my old '69 in my pocket, just in case I find it at a car show though!

Kempton,
I heard about your old car, it fell of the ferry some years ago coming to the US when the current owner didn't set the park brake correctly, evidently you can find it at the bottom of the Strait !! LOL
