Default Re: 1969 RS/Z Black 45k miles Original Paint

Wow. I am confused as to why this car w/o a numbers matching engine and tranny is considered a survivor, and the other Z was not considered a survivor that just had some paint work done?

Now, being an original black car with original paint is a definate price jump, but I would think missing two of the three major drivetrain components would preclude a "survivor" status in my opinion.......

Again, this is why I think (just my opinion) that we should focus MORE on original drivetrain than anything else. All of these 69 Camaros were exactly the same. A six banger or a COPO. Same body. Drivetrain / Suspension is what made then special.

You can only have the original drivetrain once, and IMO, "close" does not matter a whole lot at 100,000.00

Now, don't get me wrong, it is a sweet car, and black is rare to boot, but I question the survivor stats without the #'s engine and transmission.

Just my opinion,

Rich
