Re: 1970 Dick Harrell camaro
Rick,
I never saw any moisture barrier or any protection what so ever other than a car cover. There was evidence of mice but they had only accumulated about a fist full of padding. No other damage. There was slight surface rust on bare steel parts such as the driveshaft, rear axle, spindles, bolt heads, etc and some oxidation on the fuel/brake lines and the grey phosphated parts. He did make a statement to me that because of all the attention the car recently got that if someone did not buy it that he would move it to another storage area. I almost want to believe that is where he had been keeping the car all along anyway but NO ONE I talked to had EVER seen this car on the streets in the last 30 years. We found little signs of paint fading and only a couple of spider cracked areas. Very little tire damage to the 70's vintage tires either. Go figure?

Re: 1970 Dick Harrell camaro
Congrat's on the new 70'Harrell find. The car will look very cool next to Joe's 68's unrestored Harrell Chevelle and his fresh 69' Harrell Camaro. I understand the feeling of finding a rare un-restored survivor. Gives you goose bumps. Love the survivor cars. Those are the learning tools for restorations...BKH [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif[/img]
