True Survivor

[camaromb]

I think this is certainly a low mile car and I don't think the quarters have been replaced. The trunk rubber is original with inspection mark, trunk paint and undercoat on the insides of the quarters look original. The steering wheel with nice pebble grain is like new, the underhood looks very untouched including engine paint, firewall paint, inspection marks, plating finishes, brake lines, etc. The hard plastic blue interior parts vaporize over time leaving bleached looking areas; seatbacks, kickpanels, seat hinge covers, etc. The interior looks very original, low mile to me. The pedal wear is probably evident of many, many shorts trips. Minor surface rust in trunk and mold spots on the interior are expected in a non-California environment over so many years.

It looks like a very nice original 1969 Camaro, imperfect alignment and all.

Mark, I was biting my tongue at some of the critical comments towards this car. Although I havent personally inspected the car it looks like a very nice original low mileag car. camaromb description is spot on. Regarding the paint work, that really is impossible to determine from pics. Definitely a neat car....

Survivor cars show how "imperfect" the build process really was!

Bruce,

That is certainly the truth. The quality of the initial builds compared to today's cars pales in comparison. The survivors I have would certainly have gone back to the dealer for &quot;tidying up&quot;. I remember my brother getting a brand new '75 Caprice. I went with him to the dealer to pick it up. A month later he took it back to the dealer with 52 discepancies. Most of which were never corrected. A nice car, but poor by today's standards.

This Camaro is still very cool.
