Sounds like the same car....I had a super shifter though. Ran 11.80's.....

I raced the car on the street 10 and 11th grade, lost the important races due to violent tire spin. In my senior year I replaced the Muncie with a turbo 400 and vega converter, ran 29 X 9 slicks and started racing at the track, my best was 11.30s, quite fast at the time. During high school I lived in Kearney Nebraska, I had a lot of run ins with the police of of that small town, I sold the car and engine and built a copy of Econo performer (1970 Monte Carlo) I always missed my 68 Z and thought about that car a lot, and searched for the person I sold it too for years with no luck. Now living in Colorado I test my car in Kearney quite often, in July Kearney has big car show and drag race, I looked forward to that race all year, but due to buisness commitments I could not make it in 2013. The following Monday after this car show/drag race I get a call from a person I do not know, and he tells me my Camaro was at the car show for sale on a trailer, he tells me my parents name were still on the registration, he gives me the phone number to the seller, I finally get a hold of him, the same guy I sold it too, he tells me he Email me with his banking info that evening, that Email came late that night informing me he already sold the car earlier that evening. Still pretty upset.
