Default Won It 68

My name is Joseph and I have just inheireted my grandfathers 1968 camaro. He won this car in a Standard Oil give away in June of 68. It is a 327 2-bbl w/ 121,000 miles on all original equipment. He had a some body work and a paint job done about 13 years ago, other than that, no other major work has been done. I am trying to get it back to good running order. My grandfather drove it everday for 38 years until he was too old to drive. For the last 2 yrs i started it every 2 weeks and drove it about once a month. It is Matador red with a black vinyl hardtop and the black bumble bee stripe. I will try to post some pictures later. I hope to get to know some of the owners in my area, as i know very little about working on cars. I'll check back in later.

Wow, that is a neat history for your car! My grandfather used to have a 1965 Jaguar, and I dreamed of owning it someday, but he sold it! [:@] Ph well, he still has his other Jag! Anyway, enjoy your new ride!
