I'm looking for a 69' SS or RS/SS coupe. A driver that is fully restored and as original as possible. The body and interior being rust free and original is more important than anything engine related. Also my market is limited by color choices as I'm only interested in Blk/Blk, Silver/Blk, Blue/Blk, Red/Blk in that order as I've found a ton or Orange, Green, Yellow and others. I'm in So Cal and would love it to be a California (VN) car that has always been here but not scared of distance, just being a first time buyer I don't necessarily want to buy sight on seen, thanks and please advise. Johnny Horsepower is my friend in Chitown that turned me on to this site and has been a great source of what to look for. There's a modified Sliver/Blk SS, big block 454 (73' truch 2 bolt) that was originally a regular small block Green/Green 6 cylinder that is very nice and priced right around $27k that he's warning me against as my first car. The deluxe interior, suspension, auto 3 spd, nice paint job, and big block is what makes this car worth $50k in parts and labor but even at $27k, in a few years maybe the market shrinks even more to whom would buy such a non original car? Thoughts? Thanks!
