Mr. 70,
Like Stefano said, the car was being bought for "PUFFDADDY", I think you know who that is. There were two cars we wanted to buy, the Hemi Coronet and the L-78 rag. We were willing to pay 125k for the Coronet but we were knocked out right away. We had a limit for the L-78 at 85k but the auction bug took over. When it goes up in 1K bids you feel the other guy will drop out next bid.
The old saying is you never pay to much you just buy a little early. I believe this car is worth every penny because even though it is alterd a little it is truly a 18k mile survivor with documents and all original drive train of one of the rarest Camaros built.
How many low mileage cars are there that weren't raced or blown up or pieced back togethe? A good example is the 69 hugger orange Yenko Camaro I owned. It showed 18K miles and sat in a garage since 1975 (see attachment license plate on the car when I bought it in 1986). This was truly a 18K mile car but after title tracing it and talking to the 2nd owner who bought it in 1970 I couldn't believe what it had gone thru in 6 months, and how much of the car was not original. I am not bashing this car because if I knew were it went I would try and buy it back.
We are trying to put a collection of excellent restored and unrestored original cars together. They will not be bought and sold for a gain like most cars are today. We are looking for more mostly high horse. We still need a Hemi car, A Boss 429 Mustang, But are open to any others let me know by private E-mail
