Survivor cars show how "imperfect" the build process really was!

Bruce,

That is certainly the truth. The quality of the initial builds compared to today's cars pales in comparison. The survivors I have would certainly have gone back to the dealer for &quot;tidying up&quot;. I remember my brother getting a brand new '75 Caprice. I went with him to the dealer to pick it up. A month later he took it back to the dealer with 52 discepancies. Most of which were never corrected. A nice car, but poor by today's standards.

This Camaro is still very cool.

I live in Asheville and my father purchased a 1969 Impala new from the same dealership. His Impala had non power asist drum brakes and it was a bear to get that car stopped. That in my opinion could be why the brake pedal is worn. That dealership has been gone for many, many years. I agree those blue interior pieces are prone to fading, etc. Nice Camaro for sure.
