Bob do you own the 69 black rs/ss that we referenced in a thread many years ago. If I recall we could see the trunk tape line and the difference in the tail panel black versus the rest of the exterior. Look forward to seeing you at MCACN!

Yes, all the Time Capsules were great, and Doug's '69 was special, but the one that really made an impression on me was the 1981 Camaro Z28. Not only was it a capsule, it was a time transporter as well. It took me back 41 years to seeing these models introduced first hand and other than a new battery, I couldn't see any difference in that car from the day it was delivered new. It didn't even appear to have aged in storage.

Mitch the 81 Z28 had its original battery. It was not installed, but displayed behind the car. I believe the only orig item missing was the oil filter.
