I only helped put it in, i never asked what work was done to it sorry, and for the issue of SM not sure on that either, just saw the pics. Call the owner now, his name is Micheal Gillhouley

Hey around the corner from my house happens to be an unbeleivable '68 Camaro. Noticed the other day he is putting it up for sale! In my opinion this is the best looking Muscle Car going around. Its original red paint llos stunning number plate is BURN.68 Ill take my dig camera around this arvo, hopefully get some pics up and get a price and specs for ya.

My mate owns it, brand new engine.. only done about 8,000km.. and he cant afford to keep it any longer.. I think he's after around 8-10k for it.. The XC (ford) Is also for sale.. not sure on any specs on that.. If interested I could get you some numbers... (more details / engine bay pics.. etc.) only problem, both cars are in cairns (Far North Queensland)

American muscle is way cool. Some of these can be pretty tough if done right and not like every other car you see. For 8 grand you'd be able to find something pretty tidy. Monaro's torries and mock up gt's are done to death. try and find something a bit "rarer" that might not be in that gooder nick and do her up a bit... Just an idea!
