Re: COPO prices down at Mecum???
That's a nice car.
That Astro Blue 70 L-34 Chevelle cnvt. was my Friend Georges old car.Meaning he found it a U-store it here in the burbs 4 years ago.It came from the factory code 45 Mist Green,with no stripes and no Flapper hood,but with nearly every conceiveable creature comfort.
It was ordered new here by a man in late 1969 for his daughter to drive to college.She grew up and away,and left it here.The father drove it awhile,then stored it.I remember the sub zero day George found it and called me.I had to see it.He found two buildsheets for it and did a complete meticulous resto on it in his garage.
George restores camaros here and taylors to Midwest Car Exchange,among others.This was his first chevelle.He repainted it code 25 Astro blue,and striped the hood and deck added working Cowl Induction.
He had a new trim tag made to reflect the Astro blue paint code,yet the buildsheet clearly shows different.I know..I know..
He won Gold spinner at VetteFest with us in November 2004.
It sold for 130K,which is very near what he sold it to Fred in Pa. about 12 months ago.
Wait till you see the Black 1969 Camaro L-78 SS Convert. he is restoring right now..
