Yup. The guy says full of oil and in good condition. Obviously rusty. The first piece. Maybe I'll start collecting the rest of the car.

I started with a set of heads, repop fenders and bumpers for my current project.

I think I have seen them on sale at Camaro sites.

Here are some pics of the shakers 67, 68, 69:

It does look like the 69 front in Gus's link pic. Not sure how much difference there was from year to year.

I would agree that the shaker is a 69 front. Vikky would be able to confirm it.
