Spoke to Jim today. Late 80's as he remembers. He paid 3K for it. He reminded me I wanted to trade him a 60K mile Fathom Green 69 SS RS 350, 4 speed, green deluxe interior Camaro that I bought from the orig. owners here in town. Still the closest to a new 69 Camaro I have ever driven. Was like a new car. He hated Fathom green so he traded Merle for a Rally Green Z28 that was apart. Made a couple grand and moved on.

I talked to Jim about the car he remembered it well said it was probably the rarest Camaro he had ever owned . I can't believe this stuff is still out there

When I tracked the original owner from NY to Cali and then found him and HE HAD THE PAPER we were in HEAVEN! After seeing the block and the pop I figured it was real but still had a question, once we had the rest of the paper it made the purchase worth every penny!

I have had a handsome offer on it from a gentleman that wants it buy to restore it . I kinda think that would be a crime the car is really cool as is </div></div>

Then keep it!! Don't sell to anyone who would ruin this car by restoring it. If you have to sell it, then sell to the person that would appreciate it. </div></div>
