Got my insurance set up and loaded up on many of the supplies suggest by the Oppos in my previous post. Seller was extremely nice and helpful familiarizing me with the cars quirks and getting me on my way. Now to get it to Madison, AL before midnight.... It runs (& sounds) great so far. Will post a driving video later when I've stopped for the night. Onward Camaro!

My best friend lives in Madison. Do you have a place to protect it from the frequent storms and associated hail?

sweet! Welcome to the first gen camaro owners group! If you need any help or have questions let me know! I have had my 68 apart and put back together. Also if you want to know what info your trim tag has I can decode it as well. 68s unfortunately had the least amout of info on then compared to 67 or 69

Congrats — classic car ownership isn't for everybody, but if you are willing to get your hands dirty it can be awesome.

Nice!

Sweet color.

This is one of my favorite cars from that era. The lines are just so clean.

Being from the neighboring county, he might experience a couple 'naders.

I'm formerly of Gadsden (LONG LONG ago) I've since departed to San Diego. I do NOT miss the 'naders at all.

North or South Florida? Most people don't realize that south Florida is actually the North eastern US. and...Roll tide?

North, there are just as many up here. And of course Roll Tide!

Some minor rust issues. Paint looks good in pictures but it was originally red, and the blue paint job isn't great up close.

On way to Camaro, we drove past an area hit by a tornado earlier this year. Never seen anything like it.

Nope, Walmart. And considering the seals aren't on the car yet, I'm glad I bought duct tape. It's raining A LOT today.

Was it Limestone County/Athens by any chance? Also, south of Athens there is still damage from 2011.

Sweet, make sure you hose out the trunk. Human body parts can stink up a car!
