The 53 was probably the worst thing I've done . When I looked for a early gen 2 Camaro, the price difference between rotted out garbage and a solid southwest car was about 2k so that was a easy choice for me. My rules for the Camaro search were it had to have factory air, and no rust ( within reason ) A guy stopped by our shop to show us his almost done 67 Camaro, fenders door skins ,quarters,pans and roof skin. The sucky part with all that is when your done, most of your car is made in Taiwan.
