' Rare Breed '
 

This car is finally back to original configuration including stripes.

Beautiful...Joe

Wow, and WOW! What a color combo!!!! :smile: WE - NEED - MORE - PIX!!!!!

Those colors look great together. Yes, we need more pictures.

Gorgeous.. love the front bumperettes!

Looks great Phil Can't wait to come see it in person!

wow what a striking combo!

Thanks all.

Gorgeous car and unusual colors. Probably 1 of 1 with that color combo and drivetrain.

Very nice, good looking color combo. I am surprised this wasnt a more popular combination back then.

The entire car looks great. What I find extremely refreshing is no ducted hood, no spoilers & no rally wheels. Nicely done. Thank you for sharing....Joe

All cars are pretty much 1 of 1.

I always found it curious that Chevrolet decided to make red stripes the default for this color.

----If this is the same Camaro (and I cant imagine there are 2), I met the guy who had the car restored at an auction in Monterey. He sold it that weekend for great money for the timeframe. I believe that he used to come on this sight, as well.. Cant remember his name at the moment, but I think Charley would remember him as I believe they are from the same general area...….Bill S

Yes Bill, same car. Warren Friedrich (sp)?

Thanks for posting more pix, buuuutttttttt....gonna need some interior and under hood shots too!!!:laugh:

Years ago I asked Charley if he knew of a good L78 rag I could buy. He turned me on to this car which he owned in the late 80s I believe. After I got the car he told me it should have red stripes. It only took 15 years or so to get it done. I'll post more pics this weekend.

Phil your persistence paid off, because it look absolutely stunning. That stripe contrast sets it off. Keep the pics coming, and a big congratulations!!:beers:

----Yes,,,Warren! What a nice guy......Bill S

Beautiful!!

This similar one just popped up on the local craigslist.

Somewhere I have a pic of when a ball joint snapped as I was backing out of my driveway I think the day after I drove it about 60 home after buying it. I put alot of miles on that car.

Found the pics taken Oct. 1988 so 30 years ago next month. Notice the black grill in the ball joint pic. Then a friend convinced me the grill should be silver so I incorrectly painted it silver when I put the front clip back together. made the cover of Musclecar Review in 1990 and I cringe when I look at the silver grill. Tom Shaw stated at the time it was the first real 69 L78 convert. he had ever seen. I hdn't realized it's been 30 years.

Nice car!

JMO, but I like the silver non RS grill on all 69's. But you gotta do what's correct on that car. Glad to see the white stripe go away..:tongue:

Mike

Are they leaning on Charley's car?

Yes they are. They are both a little older now.

A few more pics.

Gorgeous car Phil.

Wow! Very fine! Thanks!

Looks like Charley had this beauty out in the rain!!

My Z had MAR above the heater box just like that

Going through some old pictures and when I stumbled on these it reminded me of your car.
In 2007 I went to look at a car in Shelby twp, MI and he also had this gem sitting in his garage. The story he told me from what I remember was his wife had won it in a raffle that some Jelly Bean company was having, and sadly it was not for sale. Maybe I should stop by and see if he is ready to sell.

I'll go out there with you and help unearth it from its resting place!

I live a few miles from Shelby! Amazing that cars like this are sitting right under my nose!

Oh, they are still out there and under nose, but getting them to sell is another thing....

WOW look how deep into the bumper recess that stripe is on the last car posted... 3/8" into the main stripe body...

Too late.....hopefully the new owner will chime in shortly.

Wow, That is my car... Its a American Oil Promotion car. 1 of 1 LOL



61K Original Miles, Original brakes, original AC fuel filter, 67 67 D80 ZL-2 Special Order hood. I'm slowly going through this car. Not much was changed, its a heck of a story.



Enjoy.

I love the clear distributor cap..

HI Charlie, kool to see the sparks and was the very first thing to get tossed in the garbage....


Cheers.

LOL...That was worth more than you think.

If it wasn't so yellowed from age I'd say it was worth a few bucks,but based on how it looked,I'd say not so much today.
Plus they're still making these today.
