The very fast times that you see classic muscle cars (such as the original ZL1) make, while being claimed as 'stock' would be classified by most people today as being run with 'full bolt-ons'. Change out the factory rubber, give it a set of headers (and muffler delete), of course you tune it. Again, its all about removing restrictions to 'let the car do what it can'. As long as there weren't any major modifications going on it was fine.

Lord, I hope not.....If anybody ever wanted to see a sales flop...wanted to watch GM "pulling an Aztek" again, that would be it....
Today's buyer wants modern, tight, sleek looks...the 2nd gen Camaro is a great looking classic...let's leave it that way: a classic. I think the current car (2014+) looks real good along side what's rumored to be the new Mustang design....put that Camaro design (^) up against it? And Mustang will have the sales lead again in a heartbeat. |

Of course it won't. But there will be 5 shades of red.

This is Lowdown's (Bob Gibson's) most viewed thread. I thought it appropriate to let everyone know that Camaro5 lost a member last week.
John 'Bob' Robert Gibson - At St. Mary's of the Lake Hospital on July 24, 2015 in his 64th year. Beloved spouse of Bonnie Matthews. Father to Cassandra (Sean) Lindahl and Jay Gibson. Step-father to Amey (Jeff) Cancain, Wendy Wood and Chris (Joann) Matthews. Grandfather to Tristyn and Jace. Step-grandfather to Brandon, Tyler, Braden, Jazmin and Logan. Survived by his sister Maureen (Tom) Wooldridge, brother in-laws Stan (Marie Rose) Gibson and Don Gibson. Predeceased by his brother, Charlie. Remembered fondly by numerous other family members, friends and associates. Bob was a long time resident of Kingston and was well known as an Auto Sales Representative, car collector and racing fan. Many thanks to the staff of the Cancer Centre of Southeastern Ontario, especially Mary Anne Gibson as well as to the staff of St. Mary’s. A Celebration of Life will be held in Bob’s honour at a date to be announced. Arrangements entrusted to CATARAQUI CEMETERY AND FUNERAL SERVICES, 927 Purdy's Mill Road, Kingston, Ontario. If you so desire, donations made to the UHKF – Cancer Centre of South Eastern Ontario would be appreciated by the family. |

Rest peacefully my friend. Why don't we have a sticky to remember those members that pass?
