Have you requested a NCRS report on the car? Knowing the shipping date might clarify it.

I like the split bumper look.

The Camaro looks better with the top removed, but those sail panels are hideous.

If it was a special order color, wouldn't it be - -?

Looks like it may have been a Targa top.

I always imagined Marina Blue was the same as Lemans Blue.

First NOR March vin is 185267, so the vin on this car (180xxx) is definitely before that. That can only mean one thing.

How original is your car? If it's mostly original, re core the radiator and put it back in. If your car is modified or originality is not important, buy a new radiator and store the original for later use. Additives can be problematic, but I never had issues the couple times I needed an emergency fix; and they did the job.

Garage Talk / Re: Pomona Swap Meet

I've been to Pomona many times in the past and thought it was great place to find and sell stuff. I can see that with the internet now, all events as this are at a disadvantage and a dwindling breed. It's too bad because it is nice to get out and talk to people, and see, feel and discover what you're looking for. Last I heard, Pasadena still has a good swap meet.

Love that Classic Copper!

Mine was Citrus Green with Saddle interior; console, 4spd and the smaller profile rear spoiler.
