smart guy that I am...9800 mile 69 Camaro
 

Maybe 2 months ago I finally bought this 69 Camaro from a lady in New York. Lemans blue with white vinyl top, white std interior. As a girl she had watched the old lady down the street drive it sparingly and loved the car. Years later the lady died and she bought it at the estate sale. It is a 6 cylinder, power steering, column auto, radio delete car. The interior is as nice as I've ever seen. Carpet looks new. Steering wheel looks new...So for a couple months I have been looking forward to it's arrival.

Imagine my surprise when it unloads with a white painted roof and is Azure Turquoise...maybe I should have asked ? Maybe I should have asked for a pic of the trim tag ? Sometimes I just don't pay attention...Still looks Lemans blue to me.

Re: smart guy that I am...9800 mile 69 Camaro
 

....interesting that the trim around the painted roof does not have the center of it blacked out like I have always seen on vinyl top cars.

Re: smart guy that I am...9800 mile 69 Camaro
 

Unrestored car are neat, huh Charley????

Re: smart guy that I am...9800 mile 69 Camaro
 

I never thought I would get excited about 6 cylinder cars!

Nice find Charley!

Re: smart guy that I am...9800 mile 69 Camaro
 

Wow, thats fantastic! That 69 Camaro looks like a new car. I like the looks of the Sport Coupe. The indoor photos do look like Azure Turquoise, the outdoor photo look like LeMans Blue.

Re: smart guy that I am...9800 mile 69 Camaro
 

Wow. I figured all those little old lady creampuffs had been bought up and turned into fake Z/28s years ago. Beautiful car.

Re: smart guy that I am...9800 mile 69 Camaro
 

Terrific Camaro Charley. Just a beauty. Love the color combo. Trunk seal looks brand new! What do you have planned?

Re: smart guy that I am...9800 mile 69 Camaro

Re: smart guy that I am...9800 mile 69 Camaro
 

Love it Charlie!!!

Re: smart guy that I am...9800 mile 69 Camaro
 

wOw ! Really Nice [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Re: smart guy that I am...9800 mile 69 Camaro
 

----Sam,,,I hope he has a trip back to Chicago planned for it! Ill bet very few people have ever seen a 69 Camaro optioned out this way. Beautiful car, Charlie.....Bill S

Re: smart guy that I am...9800 mile 69 Camaro
 

Nice Charley
Also a great learning tool too. Could you get me a close in shot of the screws on the fire wall wire gutter ? Those are correct and not often done correctly on many restored cars.
Also a close in shot of the horn bolts, note, they do not appear to be zinc plated like the ones that come in your AMK bolt kits... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img]
Thanks and have fun with her. This is one that would be great for Vintage Cert ?

Nice Camaro Charley! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/Can-I-Have-It.gif[/img]

Re: smart guy that I am...9800 mile 69 Camaro
 

Ok, now that's a 6 cyl Camaro I would like to own. I never thought I would say that! Now you need a 2010 Aqua Blue Camaro to match!

Re: smart guy that I am...9800 mile 69 Camaro
 

Wow, what a museum piece. That car is stunning!! Wow!!

Re: smart guy that I am...9800 mile 69 Camaro
 

Nice find Charley,sweet car.Don't touch a thing on it,just drive and enjoy the way it is.

Re: smart guy that I am...9800 mile 69 Camaro
 

a great color combo! Ditto what Mark just said and yes a great learning tool the Ohio Italian just spoke of.

Re: smart guy that I am...9800 mile 69 Camaro
 

The cardboard that tapes to the bottom of the dash to block off the speaker grill has fallen...You can also see on the trunk lid where the painter smeared the paint with his fingers around the emblem holes.

Re: smart guy that I am...9800 mile 69 Camaro
 

It is interesting that the car is spotless yet the engine compartment looks rough,relatively speaking.

Re: smart guy that I am...9800 mile 69 Camaro
 

So I have another 69 low mile car that is also Azure Turquoise. Took em outside and they are definitely different colors. Inside they look closer. The RS was a LA built car while the plain Jane is a Norwood car. Amazing color difference.

Re: smart guy that I am...9800 mile 69 Camaro
 

Don't fall...
Nice.
I Like those vintage Body By Fisher floormats.

Re: smart guy that I am...9800 mile 69 Camaro
 

I'm glad to see Im not the Only 6 cyl. owner on here.

Oh well, not like you would have passed it up had you known it was Azure with a painted roof [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]

She's a beauty, that's fer sure. I'm not surprised to see the engine looking like that....it looks positively pristine compared to the engine in my 23K mile Chevelle [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/crazy.gif[/img]

Re: smart guy that I am...9800 mile 69 Camaro
 

... What a sweet pair!

... My first camaro was a 1969 Blue 307

.....with a 3speed in the floor

[img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/Can-I-Have-It.gif[/img] ( either one )

Re: smart guy that I am...9800 mile 69 Camaro
 

Awesome car !!! Some of the coolest,and rarest, Camaros I have owned were six bangers!!!!

More pics!!!!

Charlie, doesn't your camera have a macro button??? haha

Re: smart guy that I am...9800 mile 69 Camaro
 

Beautiful pair! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]

We have a local guy out here who has 69 Camaro with a six cylinder, manual three speed on the tree, also in Azure TurquoIse. It is one of the highest quality restorations I've ever seen. Must have spent a fortune on it. I think it was a family heirloom.

Those &quot;average&quot; non high performance cars from the era are so neat to see. And so rare because they weren't seen as worth saving by the majority of the population.

Re: smart guy that I am...9800 mile 69 Camaro
 

I hope you keep it stock and NOT clone it into something its not....Fantastic car.!!!!!!!

Re: smart guy that I am...9800 mile 69 Camaro
 

Another beautiful original car Charley! Looks like its time for another visit.

Re: smart guy that I am...9800 mile 69 Camaro
 

Great find, love original cars!!!!!

Re: smart guy that I am...9800 mile 69 Camaro
 

Time to build another Storage building............LOL

Re: smart guy that I am...9800 mile 69 Camaro
 

As to the color difference, it would not surprise me that the 2 plants had 2 different paint suppliers. Also, the cars were being painted by manual application. It is amazing what the difference in fan pattern and humidity will do to color.

Currently, we have a lot of painted parts show up ready to install for the F-150. Painted offsite and having to match our plant as well as Dearborn (different paint supplier there). Color harmony......wonderful meetings!!!!

BTW, sweet grocery getter!!!

Re: smart guy that I am...9800 mile 69 Camaro
 

Charley....how about some pics of the interior of the 327 Rally Sport???

Re: smart guy that I am...9800 mile 69 Camaro
 

Just black std interior on the RS. Lots of cool little details though.

Re: smart guy that I am...9800 mile 69 Camaro
 

Definitely looks like Azure here......
