But I do not understand those that say it was a rare or low production option?

The guy paid 200K for the car, doesn't mean every other one is going to bring that. If a seller thinks his can then put the price on it and see what happens. I think we all get caught up into this. Like Charley said the seller put it up at No reserve and did well, the educated buyer wanted it, so there you go. Simple as that, in my mind it does not have any bearing on what my 69 SHOULD bring today. There were many cars that sold for HALF price of cost. Hope the seller and new owner, Fred, are happy.

Something really puzzles me about this 11K mile car.

It was mentioned that the car had yearly maintenance done to it by the Chevy dealer where it was stored.

If the car truly had 11k miles on it, why would the exhaust need to be changed?

Why would the spiral shocks need to be changed??

And who would change-out the plastic windsheild washer bottle with one that came on a '63 Impala????

And the wear on the pedals doesn't sound logical either.

I have seen many 1969 Camaro "survivor" cars, one locally as a matter of fact, with 25K miles on it, and it doesn't have half the things changed like this car.

The pedals, original chambered exhaust and spiral shocks look great.

Additionally, I don't hear of any documention on this 11K mile car also.... Was there a P.O.P., sales docs, etc???

I'm not throwing stones, and yeah I'm jealous (I wish I had 200K+ to blow on a Camaro), but this car seems to have some real issues that will never be resolved, unless one of the previous owners steps up to the plate and tells the real story.

That was one persons opinion on pedal wear. If you are the service manager of the dealership in 1980, maybe you figure the car needs new shocks. These were not Camaro people.
