Crazy story:
Got up in the morning to my coffee and Ebay thing like every other morning. Did my mid year vette search and 70-73 trans am search (Dont judge lol) and for some reason i went into 68 camaros which i hardly do and as i scrolled down i saw a ad from a magazine cut out of a car looked just like mine. I backed up thinking thats not it.But noticed the lower molding from the door and fender was close...like mine, Had exact bias plys on it when i got it. Front spoiler painted to match car color (I know its been changed ) Was a 396 like mine then i looked at the tell tail...where the blk bumble bee strip ends at the 396 then picks up, mine has the bottom "Boxed" meaning a stripe under lines the 396.At that point i knew thats my car before i got it. Needless to say i did buy it and a powerball ticket for tonight. May of 2000 i bought the car off Ebay. 1968 RS/SS (L-78) survivor with 1 repaint in 1978 (still shows well) with dealer installed A/C under dash. Was bought for a girls graduation present from Courtesy Chevrolet AZ June 68. Just never know what you will find on Ebay. Any other crazy stories?
