Re: Coolest day 2 factory race 69 Camaro
This was a hard car to list for sale as the description could be 2 pages long. I have to pull it out and wash it up and clean up the interior. It sat for about a year without a cover. It looks a lot better in real life.
As far as the concept, I was tired of show cars. The idea was to build a car that GM would have build as a concept car directed at street racing. I was going to go so far as to have a fake ID tag and stamp the engine vin. Most of the block off plates were also getting stamped "Race Only" I had started to make GM labels for the parts I made.
The reason the paint was done that way was it was to look like say a barn find. If I painted it perfect and made everything perfect nobody would have bought it. The stickers are NOS but can come right off. I was also toying with the idea of lettering the car up with worn painted lettering.
Think how excited everbody gets when pics are posted of that ultra rare barn find. I have maybe had it outside 2xs when in NY and it will draw a crowd in front of my house with people stopping asking to buy it as they think they just found something special. I thought I would keep the car but life changes and it is time for it to get used not sit in a garage. It is meant to be beat the sh@t out of and put away wet. It would only look better the more worn it gets like an old leather jacket.
It will get cleaned up and thrown on EBAY or go to auction lettered as a vinatage race car. Hoe someone who appreciated it gets it as at the price it isn't about the money. Clean shells go for $8k Price an Autogear tranny? Built 427, etc, etc.
Thanks for the comments
