Title: What do you guys think of this car? original as advertised?
Post by: hpaddict on November 23, 2023, 12:06:24 AM
not sure why they would have painted  over stripes if was survivor.
The "3" in the vin# looks modified or is a blurred photo.

Reminds me of the 1969 SS 350 Camaro that my best friend's mom drove for years back in the 1980's.

I thought the whole car was primer, not just the stripes. Lots of non-original parts under the hood, including a replacement motor.
One mans unrestored survivor, is another mans needs everything restored.

I agree with this...

The engine pictures are showing a 365hp rating on the valve covers. I thought this engine was only used/available in the 1966 Chevelle offerings. ???

So either replacement valve covers are being used, or the engine was replaced. Again....????

Is the underside of the hood usually black?  Just noticed what also appears as a test patch of primer under the hood and possibly fire damaged peeling paint.

The more I look at it, the more questions I have.

the tach looks like a 5.5k7k.  how does one absolutely confirm a big block car? 

1.  documentation for original purchase.

2.  ?

On a 67 trim tag will say. 68.. crap shoot, 69 if its a NOR car built after 2nd week of Dec (12B) will have X22 or X66 on trim tag. Assuming the tag is legit of course.

Me: curious if you have any documentation to prove its a 396 car?
Seller: Thanks for looking but car sold.

I get the same response a lot when I ask Camaro guys for info on cars they are selling.  They ask top dollar, plus some kind of its a POS tax with no interior,  and then don't want to spend 2 seconds authenticating the car at all.   

You would think a little time spent authenticating and documenting a car like that would go a long way w/a sale.

...next.

so many people watch Barrett Jackson and Mecum and think any muscle car is gold. They don,t understand how easy it is to add SS or Z28 emblems.
