July 2008 Car of the Month
1967 SS owned by Rob Remigio (Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario)
Rob always wanted to own a 1st Gen Camaro. After following a 68 Big
Block in the 2003 Camaro Nationals Cruise, Rob's wife said that
they had to get one. That was all Rob needed. He is this car's fourth
owner which was purchased originally in Windsor, Ontario. The previous owner
had this car for 26 years.
Although the original 350 engine was not in the car when Rob purchased it,
he did find this engine and had some fun with it for a couple of years. Then
came the 454 and 500 horses and even more fun!
Rob re-did the car's interior over the first winter he owned this car. Nice job.
In June 2007, after the Nationals, Rob was just having a bit of fun with some
friends and in the process the 454 let go. So, now a 476 with an 850 Demon Carb
and a 3" Flowmaster Exhaust is in place and now we're talking 600 horses! And
you have to know that Rob is ready for even more fun with his friends.
