FOUND!! Dad's Old Camaro Found After Nearly 30 Years!!
I want to thank Wes and Lost Muscle Cars for locating my dads 69 camaro. Originally the car was to be left to me but was sold. He always said it was his karma coming back to haunt him that growing up the 69 camaro was always my favorite car!
I always wanted to locate the car when my dad was alive and try to buy it back for him even though I knew there was no way I could afford to do so. Now that my dad has since passed unexpectedly on April 17th of 2020 from a massive heart attack it was always a hope to at least see the car that my dad liked to send me pics of to rub it in that it was almost mine.
My dad spent his entire life inside a garage working on, building, and painting cars. It was his life. To see the car now as beautiful as it still is I know my dad would be beyond happy.
Again thank you Wes and Lost Muscle Cars for doing this for me there are truly no words to comprehend how this makes me feel.

Awesome that you found it. I love the single wide stripe in the vintage pic.

Wow neat story and glad you found it. I found my Dads old Monte Carlo SS a few years ago for him that I remember as a boy. He talked to the owner and it was a great experience for him to know where the car is. Now I told him he needs to try and buy it back. Was the owner not wanting to let your dads Camaro go at this time?
