Finally got the paper work photographed of my second owner survivor. Changed rear end bearings, transmission shift linkage seal, radiator core, and converted to R134. My first car was a 1969. The stars aligned and I was lucky enough to find this car.

Awesome. Congrats.

Sweet! All original paint???

ragzl1 · 01-04-2017, 05:03 PM

Twisty --- Yes that is the original paint. The first owner lived on a farm and was a school teacher. She kept it in a garage and drove a pickup in winter weather.

Thats awesome...you need to take a ton more pics...I love original finds like this.

You are so lucky to have found that beauty. I have seriously been looking for a 69 here in Cali but the real nice ones are over 30k and most of them are clones. I have a love affair with the 69 because I bought a new one in 69.

rontammy0 ---- what angles or part of the car would you like me to photograph?

Thanks everyone!! I am lucky to be able to be the keeper of this great car.

I like seeing the original gauges and dash....interior stuff. They are usually time capsules. And of course the motor.

Back in 08 at the 5th gen reveal in Indy there was a young man with an original paint numbers matching 69 SS 396 Camaro. He and quite a few others were shocked when I told him he should leave it alone. There aren't many true survivors left. I hope he listened.

I'm happy for you. You got to keep the wife and still got another fine car
