Not that it has much to do with this thread..
For quite a few years I owned the Rally Green '69 W-31 a few posts up; it's been restored since I sold it in the mid-90's. Really fun car with M-21, 4.33 gears, manual steering and brakes.

All the usual excuses apply; bought a house, trying to fund another resto, bought a new Z28, needed $$$, etc. Thankfully, I wasn't able sell my other '69 W-31 that I had for sale at the same time, and I still have it.

Attached photo shows how the RG W-31 looked while I owned it.

Diego, it's a '69 "S" hardtop, black exterior/silver stripes/black buckets.

The hood stripes were originally white on my black '69.

I don't know if the Rally Green '69 had stripes at all, originally. When I got the RG car it had Chevelle-style stripes on the hood and decklid, and white '69 H/O-style stripes on the sides. The car appeared to have it's original RG paint, except for the LF fender and quarter panels, and the white stripes were a poorly executed later addition.

Yup, it sold on Ebay in '06, and it's changed hands a couple times since then. It sold somewhere in the twenties on Ebay, but I don't recall exactly how much.

The car also went through the Mecum auction in the fall of 2006......here is a couple pics of it sitting in the waiting tent.
