OK, Check this out. My Friend had a '67 Camaro with a strong 350 back a year after high school. (1993) It was a really clean car. Red, Built TH350, 12 bolt, black interior. We had a lot of fun in that car on Gratiot back then. Like an idiot, He sold it after owning it for about a year. For 3 grand.

Everyone has the car they regret selling. This is that car. I swear not a month goes by without it coming up in conversation.

So what comes to his house in the mail Friday? A letter from the Taylor police department reguarding his 1967 Camaro that is sitting in the impound yard!!!! If he does not come down an reclaim the "abandoned" car and pay the 315.00!!!! in fines, it will be auctioned off!!!! CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT??? Apparently the car was never retitled, then somehow abandoned. Now he can get it back.

We pretty much figure if the police picked up an abandoned '67 Camaro it is now nothing more than a shell. So we take a drive to the impound yard to see if we can get a peek through the fence.

There sits the Camaro. Still red, AND A COMPLETE CAR!!!! All the windows are there, the rally wheels are still on it, the interior is still in it, and it is not all smashed up! The front of the car is sitting high, so obviously the motor is gone.

What we expected to be a shell is a nice rolling chassis, and better yet a major chunk of his youth that he has recovered! We are going to the lot tomorrow with a flatbed first thing to pick it up!!!
