Mark,
Weird deal. I found out about the car from a good friend, and the story is pretty straightforward: the guy purchased the car new at age 37 and got busy with life and parked it. He started it 6 times a year and changed the oil every 3 years.
I literally had to build a small bridges in several places to get it out of a ravine where the car was stored in a garage on a small hill. This was an issue since rain and erosion had changed the angle of approach to the paved driveway surface so much over 30 years from the garage where it was stored.
RPO DX3 is on the window sticker. The car was sold new at Classic Chevrolet in Mentor Ohio, and it is very likely I looked at this particular car on the lot back in 1989. The salesmen there ordered lots of DX3 cars back then, they called it the sleeper look and it sold well locally. They always had about 25-30 Camaros on the lot then at any particular time.
It is a 100% time capsule. Car is performance optioned 350 L-98 and the Borg Warner 9 bolt, all the go fast goodies are present.
