Comments

I really wanted to keep my 67 Camaro iam lurking for a fine 69 or 68 in good condition

Story

I wanted a dependable "street" car El Camino's are not the exact "road handling" car But its a fun driver and it gets the job done! i want to get another 68-69 Camaro there just a better car to build up on,and after the "mule" there is no other "tru" pro-touring car (in my opinion)
