Re: Great forums/ 69 Z28 info
 

I am with you Guys regarding the Phantom cars starting to show up everywhere. There have however been some real cars that popped up on this site, which were great finds.

A couple of local teenagers showed up at my door just recently soliciting funds for their travel scoccer team.

I didn't recognize them ,so just asked where they lived. They provided a correct name and address of a new neighbor so I didn't ask for any identification.

The conversation quickly turn to the Baldwin 427 1969 Camaro that his father had sitting in the garage awaiting for his 16th Birth day, just a couple of months away.

He called it a "Baldwin Camaro" from a New York Dealer that had a 427 installed when new.

I expressed an interest in seeing the car as it was to be less than a mile from my house.

I have yet to find anyone home, but am inclined to believe that it was a Scam and that the info they used was obtained from this site.

If I am wrong I will be the first to a [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/shocked.gif[/img] pologize.

There was a guy on Team Chevelle who said he bought an LS6 for $1000.00 at a storage facility auction. It was a hoax.

A guy near me just bought his dad's 10,000 original mile 69 Z28. He didn't know a whole lot about it and was asking a bunch of questions so I helped him out. I obviously offered to buy it if he wasn't going to. I think he got it for under $10K but that's a car that stayed in the family so it's a different situation.

I think everyone has heard about the one the owner died in vietnam,I have heard it numerous times,I think it is a possibility for the car to be real and the only way to know is for the person to post some pictures and info such as trim tag and vin# this way you guys that know about these cars can give him information he is looking for about the car.POST SOME INFO ON THE CAR ZACH AND A COUPLE OF PICTURES!!

Re: Great forums/ 69 Z28 info
 

I was skeptical of Zack from the beginning. He knew nothing about Z's but asked specifically about the rarest most desirable option/ parts. I bet he finds the car has TI ignition on it next. I can't wait to see the window sticker.

Re: Great forums/ 69 Z28 info
 

OK Zack, you have a Saleen and a Viper. Surely you have a digital camera to post some pics!

Re: Great forums/ 69 Z28 info

This storys a little herd to beleve,but there are those cars our there that the owner was killed in vietnam. I know of a 69 RS/SS 350 Camaro with 1,100 some miles all original exept rear wheels and tires,tork thrust an 60's the originals are still in the trunk.The car has sat in the same spot since 69 still taged 69. They are out there bu this ones douptfull.

Re: Great forums/ 69 Z28 info
 

I agree with you Jon,I have heard of similar stories as well,I also know where a 67 corvette is and a cushman scooter that has sat in the same garage for over 30 years.The father of the owner will not sell for no amount.He keeps both in running condition,I knew the owner,he was a couple of years older than I was,and a real nice person. His Dad bought him the corvette new for graduation,a year and 6 months later he went to Vietnam and was killed in action in 1969.I think it is a shame for things like that to set up and not be driven,but I can understand the memories.I used to stop and talk to the man from time to time and he says that everytime he sees the car and scooter it is like having his son there with him.He pulls the car out every now and then and washes it then puts it back up.Big block 427,4 speed,tri power,red with black interior,has not been tagged since 1969,still has 69 tags and sticker on the car don't remember the mileage but I am pretty sure it was very low around 14,000 or so.Sure would be a nice one to have.
