Great news, sounds like good advice Benny. Wow and WOW!! What a piece of automotive history and its a solid lifter!!!! Congrats!

What a cool find. Love the bright blue interior.

Curious on the under hood insulation. I was under the impression it had to do with deluxe interior vs std interior. This car is standard with insulation which contradicts what I had thought. Can anyone shed some light on this?

Thanks

Boy do I wish I could make it out there and see this and others in person. What a beautiful 69! Congrats to you BBBenny. I'm sure you're enjoying it.

Incidentally that tail panel is one of the best, if not the best, example of the tail panel black out sheen that I've ever seen. It seems to match the undisturbed gloss level I found under my trunk weather stripping.

Salvatore 08-20-2019 03:18 PM

Its even better in person! BeNnYyYyYy

I met with the owner of the L-78 camaro, yesterday. It was his birthday, and he Finally found the documention papers on the car. He had them in his house, but his wife moved the papers. So they had to hunt them down, the docs! P.O.P. warrenty booklet, folder for the glove box. with the dealer;s name on it. The start up sleeve, that goes on the sun visor. Insurance papers from day one. Sales agreement from the dealer. Orginal air cleaner seal for a cowl induction air cleaner, with the GM tag, on it. Thanks BBBenny

HawkX66 10-31-2019 11:30 AM

Congrats!

Salvatore 10-31-2019 11:58 AM

Now that was a find Professor. Good deal done by all.

NorCam 10-31-2019 12:27 PM

That's fantastic news Benny. Glad to hear you got together on the O/O's birthday and that the docs were found. How old is he now?
