Post by: samanatoo on November 19, 2008, 12:40:45 AM: Orange is one of the most popular and sought after colors today as it was the most popular color back in 1969. They made many hugger orange cars and used them in the chevy ads. It was called the hugger because the cars suspension would hugg the road. VERY nice conv. with big block also very nice. What color interior?? Word to wise use this site and obsorb as much info you can. There are many members who know just about everything about these first gen cars. They have been very helpfull with me in the past.

Post by: jab843 on November 19, 2008, 12:57:41 AM: ok here is the problem the car is a 1969, orange, SS, convertible.
And the guy only wants 14k and it is in amazing condition apparently no rust, 4speed,all the ins and outs, however I am unable to see it in person so I do not know if it has any underling falts. The engine has only 100miles on a rebuild. Top is in great condition. What is your opinion?

Post by: samanatoo on November 19, 2008, 08:24:21 PM: I would post some more pics on this site and get some opinions. Personally 14 grand for a 1969 convert. 4 speed big block even if a clone is a good buy, but try to get as many pics as you can. Engine stampings etc. If the car is what it is it will be great great buy. Where is it listed or maybe you should not tell HA HA good luck. Sounds like very low money for a 69 Camaro SS

He means too much car for the money. There's way to many scam artists just waiting to take your hard earned $.

Is it to good to be true?

Title: Re: Plate Decode for 1969 Camaro
Post by: jmcbeth on November 20, 2008, 03:42:21 AM: I agree. Price way too low for a big block convertible. Something's fishy. Have you contacted Jerry MacNeish about the car? He can tell you a lot from the pictures. One thing I noticed is that the front end seems to be sitting too low.

Post by: 69Z28-RS on November 20, 2008, 05:34:01 AM: If the car is real, and the owner can prove he *owns* it... I'd give 14K for it tomorrow based onthe photos *S*

Tell the guy you want to look at the car in person.
Bet he won't let you.
