True Survivor

[talwell]

I have seen quite a few 69 Camaro survivor cars - never one this clean. This is a museum piece.

Here's another one, but with an earlier repaint. Still cool to see though:

Hey RIch, the owner is a good friend of mine and this car was just featured in last months Muscle Car Review magazine. The pic you posted was from our recent car show and this car had tons of attention. We just went cruising last night and his car runs great.

This link has more pics and more of the history of the car, all original driveline and fully documented.

Take note!!!!! Survivor cars DO NOT have fluffed engines! This means no engine repaint! SUPER NICE!

Sorry, I disagree, not what it seems:
From the ad:

&quot;The paint is the only part of the Camaro that has been brought up to date. All the body panels are original to the car and there are no signs of rust or major body repairs.&quot;

Door gaps are horrible,and doors are not aligned. I bet the quarters were replaced-no body filler at quarter to rear pan. And top of quarter does not line up with top of door on drivers side.
Lots of stains in the interior and faded carpet.
Grill does not fit flush.
Body has surface rust under the trunk lid and in the trunk. No photos of underneath.

Now compare this original to mine. Look at my detail photos, especially under the car:

AGREE 100 %

I think this is certainly a low mile car and I don't think the quarters have been replaced. The trunk rubber is original with inspection mark, trunk paint and undercoat on the insides of the quarters look original. The steering wheel with nice pebble grain is like new, the underhood looks very untouched including engine paint, firewall paint, inspection marks, plating finishes, brake lines, etc. The hard plastic blue interior parts vaporize over time leaving bleached looking areas; seatbacks, kickpanels, seat hinge covers, etc. The interior looks very original, low mile to me. The pedal wear is probably evident of many, many shorts trips. Minor surface rust in trunk and mold spots on the interior are expected in a non-California environment over so many years.

It looks like a very nice original 1969 Camaro, imperfect alignment and all.

Mark, I was biting my tongue at some of the critical comments towards this car. Although I havent personally inspected the car it looks like a very nice original low mileag car. camaromb description is spot on. Regarding the paint work, that really is impossible to determine from pics. Definitely a neat car....

Survivor cars show how &quot;imperfect&quot; the build process really was!
