Sold 1969 Camaro Street Machine Time Capsule Circa 1982 Car Craft Nationals & Book Car

Very cool. I recall seeing this car in magazines as a kid in the 1980s. I also remember looking at other modded 1969 Camaros at the time in the weekly Auto Trader & Tradin' Times and saving up my money to get one ($3-4,000 seemed like the end of the universe in high school, let alone to spend it on a 20 year old Camaro). Had to settle for my neighbor's wife's 1980 LeSabre instead. I learned never to settle after that.

Great story, and incredibly true lesson I think several of us have learned. I'm hoping this car ends up with a caretaker who wanted a '69 Camaro street machine in their younger days. For whatever reason, it didn't work out then, but now it can...

I would love it, but just got a 63 Corvette fuel coupe and a 64 Porsche 356C in the last 45 days (Corvette was intentional, Porsche was a surprise too good to pass up). Pretty sure the wife would kill me if anything else comes home in in the near future.
