Default Re: 69 Survivor

I'm having trouble loading more pictures. Can anyone help?

I have more pictures - some from the previous owner (Gary) and some of my own. The weather turned bad when I got the car home, so it's stored in the garage and the lighting isn't too good.

I found the car on the Hemmings website. It wasn't in their book at the time, just online, when I first enquired about it. I had a 69 Z28 driver and I was looking for a documented Z28 that I could show. When I first saw the car on the Hemmings web site, I didn't react to it right away since it wasn't a Z28. After thinking about it for a few days, I decided to phone Gary, and after our conversation, I decided it was worth the 10 hour drive to check it out. I knew I wanted the car as soon as I saw it - it's not often you find a survivor in this condition. On the phone, Gary said it's 'no trailer queen', it's an original paint car, as well as drive train. I've never met a more honest person than Gary. His description of the car was very accurate. I was still nervous about buying the car, so I had Jerry MacNeish look at it. He told me to buy it - or he would.

I also have polaroids of the original owner with the car, and the Hemmings book from the 80's when the original owner sold the car.

The picture I'm attaching now shows a red X going through the letter T underneath the cowl tag. (On the right side of the picture, you can see the start of the green letter B. It is stamped B P T.)
