While this is a bad-a$$ Camaro, the full roll cage in an open top convertible just completely takes away from the car, and dare I say looks kind of dumb. Great pics of some nice looking cars regardless of my opinion on the Camaro, though. Thanks for posting them.

On Friday saw several convoys of utility trucks heading East on the interstate, Henri preparation. Today (Tuesday) observed utility trucks heading back West.

I was on NJ Turnpike on Saturday and saw convoys of bucket trucks headed north.  On my way to NJ I saw a few long convoys, and later going home to PA I saw more, so you can only imagine how many trucks went north!

Georgous Cougar.  It looks like a 1967. It also looks like some sort of badge on the rear quarter panel because it is not the correct shape for the '68 side marker light.

Yes it's a 67 and probably has a 390 judging by the badge on the fender.

Yeah, 67 had a badge that spelled out Cougar in block letters in a black frame while the ‘68 had a Cougar script and the side marker there.

Don’t know if this is patina or just neglect…

That would be neglect and what a lot of 1:1 builders are looking for. They would paint it with either a flat or semi gloss clear and that would be the bodies final finish.

I’ve caught glimpses of this as I’ve driven down Rt33 in NJ.  I was never on the right side of the highway (going home) during daylight. So today I stopped for a look and a few pix.  

There was an old barn there that looked like it was going to fall down any minute for the past 30 years. And it finally did and there was a 50ish Chevy pickup inside. Slightly beyond restoration!

i find it somewhat shocking that there's a square body Chevy in the UK.  that doesn't seem like something that would be very sought after over there.

There certainly aren’t many that I’ve seen. US pickups aren’t entirely unknown in the country; round this part of Yorkshire I have seen at least 3 Dodge (still?) Rams, working examples not show cars.

.In a nearby town is 1950s Chevy pickup that is deliberately patinaed but I haven’t been able to get a photo of it yet.

PS What year is the one in my pic? Column change and bench seat if that helps.
