This is the $500.00 68 camaro convertible that i was told about. It's NOT for sale and never will be,:sad:

Yes those are screws. It's tons of fun to watch except when the ice starts booming from the weight of all the vehicles on the lake! You can see more ice drag action at; www.merrillicedrags.com
The second gen is pretty much a total loss.

That Camaro reminds me of a guy out this way near Niagara Falls NY that has 2 or 3 REAL 60's Shelby Mustangs sitting rotting on his front lawn that he will never sell.

If anyone gets close to the car, he comes outside with a shotgun.
From what people have said, he said he will restore the cars, but has been saying that for 15+ years and he is a real nut job. :(

I'm going to get some pics of them this summer.
