Nice car!
Is that original paint? Wow it looks good.
If your gas tank has never been removed, then your Chassis Broadcast Copy (Build Sheet) WILL still be on top of the tank on the drivers side. If you look behind the rear tire on the drivers side to the top of the gas tank, you may see paper sticking out.
That makes 3 Hugger Orange SS survivors from that Dealership all sold around the same time period. Charlie had the SS 396 one.

Thank you.

As far as it being a non D80 optioned car, yes it is refreshing. Although I am struggling with the spoilers not being there. But don't worry, I will not be picking up a drill anytime soon......lol.

The car is mostly original paint from what I am able to determine. I spent some time with a digital paint meter and was coming up with anywhere from 1.5 mm to 4 mm paint thickness. Even the hockey stick stripes don't line up all that well, just like they should.

And I am fortunate to have the Chassis Broadcast Sheet. When I purchased the Camaro, the story went like this......the gas tank was replaced many years ago and when it was done, the Broadcast Sheet was discovered. But what is interesting after detailing the car, I soon realized that the replacement tank was a GM tank, dated 6 - 69.

Yes, that is quite unique, three Hugger Orange SS Camaro's all from the same dealership and all still in tact. How weird or unique is that?

It would be cool to get all three of them side by side someday for a couple of photos.


Paul

PS - Charley.......do you still own the B/B SS?

I second that. &quot;Spoiler abuse&quot; infects the car hobby, not just 1st Gen Camaros.

Beautiful car!

Wow Scott, she looks good. Hows she run?

These cars may have been all on the lot at the same time. It would have been hard to chose just one:

TRY South Tacoma!



added the AHM (American Hobby Manufactures) or could have been Tyco? 1968 HO Scale 1:87th 1968 SSRS Camaro model from my Model Railroad stock pictured on the hood of the 1:1 scale car.
