Purchased
Purchased from Joseph Bennett for $5000.
Bought this 1968 Camaro (1st Gen) in 2001 and converted it into a replica of a Motion Camaro that I had seen on a magazine cover. This car has been in storage in Augusta GA since 2006.
History
This is my second 1968 Camaro 327 coupe. I bought this one May 9th, 2001. There have been a lot of owners, but the owners manual with PoP has been passed down to each. I'm in the apparently long drawn out process of making it a '68 Camaro Motion Clone.

Mario Wever - Final Trim Tweeks
I couldn't get the hideaway headlights to align properly so I took it back to Mario for him to figure out. He got them perfect. Couple of other tweaks too, that I can't remember now. $706
