A Picture of the Great Pumpkin.

[Jeremy]

It is original unrestored with one repaint. the interior is 100% original. i have a weak spot for Cars with unusual options or collor combinations. The wheels are the only modified part on the car. I have only heard of three other coupes with this interior. For those of you not familliar with the D80 discussion this car was mentioned as the great pumpkin because of the orange/orange collor combo. It is a well optioned car along with the code 720 Orange Houndstooth interior. what do you think guys?

A friend from our local club here has one as well. The story told with it is it was orig sold off the Yenko lot. It's a good contrast for the guys pace car as it has white stripes. The combination sure draws attention at shows...

There are 8 like that in the database. Not real common. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif[/img]
I junked a twin to that car last year. 72-72, 720 SS350 car, rusted beyond salvage.

I still like the car a guy found the other day. 67-67, 718 (maroon with red interior). That's a great combo.

I like pumpkins. Its a beauty!

Dennis, I think I read about that car in an issue of Camaro World Magazine. It had Z/28 style stripes and other personal touches to the car that werent original. Most people are unsure of the collor combo until they see it. I ran across a 69 Z/28 online that was a canadian car that is original black with orange interior. If I remember correctly it was priced at $65,000, Im sure it is still for sale. Thanks for the positive replies on the picture.

Where did you see the black with orange int Z? Never seen that combo, though factory info says it was available.

[Jeremy]

Kurt,
I believe the car was an X33 car with no console and endura. But it is supposed to be an original documented Canadian car. I like the car exept for the white stripes, should be orange. If I remember right the price was $65,000. We also looked at a 69 BB car original black with Yellow Houndstooth. Beware of that car, cowl tag has been removed at one time.

Thanks guys.

The removal and reinstallation of the original trim tag is pretty common for a frame-off resto.

COPO, I understand some people feel it is good to remove a cowl tag for the restoration. I feel anytime a cowl tag has been removed from a car it hurts the car. Unless the car had corosion problems under or around the tag You should attempt to leave it intact during restoration. Although I have seen some pretty nifty cowl tag instalations that looked factory I still do not recomend it. This is My personal oppinion. The black SS was not a restored car it was a car that had been peiced together and had many bad faults. In other words it was an expensive parts car. I work with Musclecars everyday and when I see a cowl tag has been replaced it sets off red flags. I am only stating my personal oppinion.
