This restoration was performed by Dave Tinnell for a client in Cincinnati Ohio on a virgin rust free car that was the best 69 Camaro body I have seen since 1969. All body panels are original with the only exception being the cowl hood as the car was a flat hood car. Interior is all original except the carpet and dash pad. The cars original colors was 65B. The motor is a 1968 4 bolt main 425 horse, correct deep groove pulleys, Harrison curved neck radiator, M21, and 12 bolt 4:10 posi rear. Correct tach and gauges. The car has been driven and well sorted out. It drives like a car that has never been apart. Base coat clear coat paint. The underside is as clean as the top. $85,000 call 217-620-3405

Thanks and I am aware of the minute inaccuracies but I didn't care enough to make the changes. The car really is a super sold drive anywhere with confidence example.

Thanks, when Dave restored this car they left the black vinyl top on the car and had black stripes on it. I peeled the top and and stripes off (the stripes they used was all wrong anyway) and replaced with the white. In my opinion the black stripes just kill the gold color but white makes it pop.

Beautiful car! Did the roof require any bodywork/paint when the vinyl top was removed?

Nice job, curious, when the vinyl top came off - did u have to paint the whole back end or did you do something else to blend the color in?
