'69 Camaro out of 40 year retirement !
Here's a "barn find" that was never lost.
Walter and Ann Toews L.A.W. Automotive '69 Camaro convertible Super Stocker is returning to compete in Stock eliminator after a 40 year "rest". Walter ,Ann and son in law Todd Hoven have been updating the suspension and I just completed a new roll bar to replace the old Lakewood 3 point bar and some other updates. Plans call for a 350 2bbl combo to compete in N/SA. Still looks great with 46 year old paint and original Cragars on it !

Re: '69 Camaro out of 40 year retirement !
Happy to see my old friends getting a car back out there.
I've known them for nearly 50 years and nicer people you could not meet or know..... I don't recall this car....maybe it was white once ? Walter and Anne were at E-Town in June and said they were planning to do this.... 2 Barrel ??? Billy your a bad influence....LOL Stick a Q-jet on there...please !!!

Re: '69 Camaro out of 40 year retirement !
Billy , I really enjoyed doing this car. Great people with a love for the sport !
First Camaro I did a rollbar and frame connectors on in a long time that was not a rust bucket ! Rich ,This Camaro replaced the white one which was wrecked ,I believe in '71 in a towing accident .

The 2 barrel is tougher to dial and race I would think but it is easier than having to race the 4 barrel classes......and run into many fast cars there.

Re: '69 Camaro out of 40 year retirement !
The 20% premise would look good on that combo.
