It sounds like he's financially secure and doesn't need the money. That's great because it's real value remains with with him being the original owner and he can tell 'ya 42 years of great stories about this great car where if a wealthy collector owned it.......well, he could only talk about writing the check out for it!

Are there any photos of this car without the cheesy photoshopped background? I couldn't believe the sole photo of this car published in the Motion book was of such poor quality. Sorry to be a stickler but man does that background take away from the car! Its a distraction. And the pixelated photos in the book surely caught me off guard, especially given the quality and background of the authors.

Chris,

That photo is still highly over edited. Looks photoshopped to me. Unless its shot with a film camera, it looks like a poor attempt at an HDR edit. This car is sinister in every way. The story makes the car even cooler... I would just like to see unedited pictures of it.

I think you are right. The chain link fence that can be seen through the passenger window is not in the wooded background. Tires also do not match the surrounding appearance and almost look to be floating though I agree, very sinister and great looking Camaro.

I don't believe the car was ever black as this sellers hood is.

As far as the photo shopped pictures, I really hadn't noticed the background. Maybe the owner just chooses to not disclose the actual surroundings ?

either way the car is HOT and I too would love to see some street or track action shots!!

Sure love to know what Suffix is on the block of this Motion added L88!.
Being it was built when you could order an IT Suffix block without Vin stamping through GM parts, could it be?.

Also considering this car is a '68 and the fact it may've been ordered from the get-go w/ plans to add the L88, there's a remote chance it could be a 9737 car!.
Remote chance yes but just for fun why not look to see if the TT happens to be an MM style?.

Couple o' long shots for sure but a fella never knows unless you dig deeper and take the time to LK!.

From reading it, seems like the hood was assumed to have been painted back after it was removed from the car. Says there is some original paint still on the hood, guessing it's on the underside or areas where the black has chipped off.

Probably is an ugly hood on a Camaro anyway.
