In 2010, another one bit the dust.

Despite The Single Front Wheel, Most Three-Wheelers Deemed Safe

To promote safety and ease movement where vehicles cross paths, transportation departments throughout the country erect traffic signals, stop signs and yield markers.

We’ve received lots of mail from readers across the country on our recent column featuring Gary Keyes beautiful 427 Dana ‘68 SS/RS Camaro clone. Most readers love the history of these “non-production” 427 Camaros, which were first introduced as a “dealer swap” in 1967 by Dana in Los Angeles, Calif. Soon after, Yenko Chevrolet in Canonsburg, Pa., did the same and kicked off a glorious era of dealer initiated high performance vehicles. What followed is known today as the “COPO” 427 Chevys, which in translation means “Central Office Production Order.” The COPO 427s had the full backing of GM’s Chevrolet division, including a warranty.
Why I love it: My wife and I had our first date and first kiss in this Grotto blue, mostly original 1968 Camaro. This was also my first car. I bought it from a gal who special ordered it at Buchanan Chevrolet with 327cid engine, power glide and 2:56 economy gears. It made 20 mpg and got me from Seattle to Spokane on a tank of gas during the Arab Oil Embargo of 1972-1973 . Cross state without refueling was important because all the stations on the way were closed after 4:00 p.m. Its interior is unchanged as well, with deluxe interior/bench buckets seats and six seatbelts. We would buckle the three kids up in their car seats in the back and off we went. This Camaro has lived its whole life in the area and made dozens of ski trips to Jackass, Mt Spokane and Kimberly. It was lovingly restored in 2000 by one of my sons, Olin, Glenn and other special friends. It is a “driver” and will never be towed on a trailer because with power steering/tilt wheel and disc brakes, it is still fun to drive.
