      @BigSean It's not the best Camino but I wouldn't destroy it. A buddy of mine has a 502 powered '68 Chevelle and a '68 "Chevelcamino" up on the hill waiting it's turn for resto. It was a good year.

Also, Matt you might wanna stand FURTHER away when pulling up a car like that. If that wire snaps, its DANGEROUS. We've had 2 people in the E.R. that had whip backs from the wires hitting them after they broke while cranking up vehicles. I hope you read this. Those wires are like a whip when they snap. Both guys had deep lacerations. One on the arm and the other had one across his chest. Two separate incidents, but same results in the damage those cables did.
