I would just wax it & leave it alone.
It's not 1/10th as bad as some other original paint cars.
I think it adds character and validity to your claim as well.

Hey, 'fluff' is for peanut butter sandwiches - not original paint cars! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

BTW, I'll send you a PM about a winter road trip https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

Here is a better shot of it. The original vinyl top was tattered and removed by a previous owner, so its getting a new one.

Your Camaro was registered not too long after my brothers 67! It had to be registered after 3/31/67...as his is earlier in the sequence of letters. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif

The car was originally purchased at a dealership in Compton, CA. I believe the car was first sold 07/26/1967 and the first registration was 08/24/67
