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

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. https://detroit.craigslist.org/okl/c...690957709.html |
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:

Are they leaning on Charley's car?
|
Yes they are. They are both a little older now.

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...

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. https://www.flickr.com/photos/jeff69...57669180221627 Jeff G. Hartford, CT |
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. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/m...BoC7EUQAvD_BwE |
