Hot Rods and all things Fast but not Necessarily Furious Thread

Quote:I've got a 68 Camaro, base (4.1 straight 6) with a vinyl top.

 

It still turns on the first crank (a long one, though.)

 

I've got some minor irritating stuff (mostly electrical and bulbs, or maybe fuses as they are notorious for having dash ground problems at their age) but otherwise she's all original and all clean.  Engine and transmission have never had to be rebuilt.

 

I didn't understand why dad replaced the steering wheel with a different wheel that was an available option, and since he's passed away I never got to ask but I've figured out why.  All of them have crumbled up by now and no one makes a reproduction part.  It's been said the same deluxe wheel was put on Impalas, etc.  That would be typical GM if true, but mom said he tried one of those but it didn't fit.  So, I'll always keep my eyes open for one.
I know the wheel you speak of.  My brother had a 68 RS.  The rear quarter panel on the 68s seems like a cleaner more natural line than the 67 or 69 to me. I love those cars.

 I always loved the look with the electric headlamp covers shut.  Does your camaro have them?
