I actually talked to you. My friends and I were wondering about the paint differences on the one on the end, which was really white.

How funny! There were quite a few people (including some judges!) asking about the same thing. In their case I think they were testing us to make sure we had a cogent explanation...

Wish I had known, so as to connect the screen name & the face! I had intended to put my screen name on my board. Forgot about it in a last minute commotion/panic before pushing off from PHX.

Love the teal convertible. Actually the guy who built my car has one that is nearly identical. Don't recall if his is a '67 or '68 (I think '68?). Bench seat! Next trip there I'll get some photos for you!

We surmised since your color was identical to Jerry’s original, 2 out of 3 was correct. The Teal was a 68 only color, and I’ve seen 5 or 6 L cars coded, but only 2 other cars painted. Did your car go on the lift?

VINCE Z28 asked me to share this video.  Idk know the guy in the video but I’ve seen some of his clips.  He would benefit from doing a little more research.

^^ Correct even US immersed in the Hobby flub up at times,  He trips over facts occasionally, but I can imagine the Need to continually speak to fill the YouTube minutes would be a stretch for most.

Where the rarest Camaros are? Or did he say that from the beginning?

It's the title of the video.  His words, not mine.

Got it. Updated and better picture of the whiter 67 Pacer. I imagine one might need 2,000,000 SPF sunblock outside to prevent sunburn if near.

No pics of Skip's hugger orange 69Z survivor or more pics of Doug's 69 L78 survivor LOL? Sorry I missed the show due to being on a trip out of state. I was told it was well intended. Thanks for sharing the pics David.....

I'm going to go out on a limb here; and guess Chick is referring to either, or maybe both, of these time capsules...??

The orange cars LOOK very similar but note 1) custom wheels on Exhibit A (above); vs. 2) Rallys & "Survivor" sign on Exhibit B (below)
