In 1985 the car was destroyed in a garage fire along with our father's 1969 Nova that ran SS/JA. I am getting some of the photos together that I will post in the next couple of days showing before and after the fire. It was a loss that still bothers us to this day when we think about it.
Did Jeff Taylor get the car back after it had burnt up? Dad stopped by Mr. Jeff and Mr. Charlie's shop in Lumberton not too long after the fire happened at your garage and saw a burnt '69 Camaro and wondered if it was it. Dad started out racing with that car. It had a 4 speed in it.

Dad wanted to know if yall have ever purchased a car from Dick Henry? He had another 69 Convertible.
