On
April 30, 1968, Robert Weidman took delivery of this Camaro he ordered from Ourisman
Chevrolet in a Washington, DC suburb. He traded in both a 64 Ford and a 64
Corvette plus $1200. The
Camaro has the Super Sport and Rally Sport packages, L35 325 hp 396, TH400
automatic, deluxe interior, air conditioning, PS, PB, tach & gauges - a
luxury Camaro! Robert
remembers the car well and stated it still had the original paint when he
sold it in 1986. |

|
Engine
compartment is almost untouched. Missing smog, wrong Qjet, replacement water
pump. |

TO823MY -
very early engine for April car but matches POP and is absolutely right!
Engine never out. |
|
Underside
of trunk, jambs have not been painted. Lid was slammed on something judging
by dent at upper left |
|
Paint is
Earl Scheib quality, but body is straight and only rust, ever, is slight
bubbling behind rear wheels. Sheetmetal is all orig. Pans and trunk look
excellent. |
|
Orig paint
with a little overspray inside doors. Solid and nice - nothing covered up. |
|
Trunk
dropoffs look excellent. Just a little problem at bottom of outer wheelhouse. |

I dont
believe there has ever been any rust in fenders or doors - just the small
problem in the original rear quarters. |
