Very cool! I had no idea about the headlight washers even being available. Is that something that actually was put on production models?

That video may be the only time the squirters worked the way they were supposed to.

That must be why the replacement grill for a '69 is about $.75 while the grill for my '70 is $1,000!

Interesting to see the fender louver trim painted body color instead of the silver color.
Thought that Camaro was going to roll over in that turn.

Yep, they're on my 69. Not currently hooked up though, I need to work on that.
