The car does have a great story and a very nice resoration. I would say it would be worth asking price if it looked like that and was a survivor.

But it is 'just' a low mile restored car. I would say the mileage, the documentaion and the story are with a premium over another beautifully restored 69 RS Z28.

Who cares about mileage when it is frame off restored? There is no difference now. Just my opinion.

I am sure you guys saw this car or at least read about this car a few years back. This car was pretty much discussed about all these things then. Matt, I agree with you. If a car is frame &quot;offed&quot; or frame &quot;upped&quot; you can throw the mileage out. But again...JMO.

Nice color and the red interior really pops!.
Each their own but sounds like it may be a shame it was ever resto'd?!
Can't help but wonder what it was like before...another survivor lost?.

PS - The cool CanAm-302 decal on the crossram is from my dream car, the South African CanAm Firenza!.

my understanding was it was sitting outside for a looonng time.

I agree that a full resto essentially wipes out what is special about original patina. But since restoring my 18K mile Nova, I have to agree with Bill, that generally speaking, the car retains more of its original parts and the car itself needs less &quot;messing with&quot; to complete the restoration. Of course the car should only be restored if it HAS to be restored, i.e. already repainted.

Sam, your car was waaaaaaaaaaay better than this one IMO. I would like to know the guys name. I worked at Limerick Power Plant for a few years in that time frame myself. Never really liked full blown resto's much at all if at all possible. If you can get away with a real nice repaint and a good elbow grease frame and chassis clean up with some interior stitching I am real happy with that. Way more original with 100,000 miles on the clock than a 3-4,000 mile car would be with a frame up, total replacement. BUT again, JMO and I ain't changin!
