Original 69 Camaro SS 21k L78

[Steve Shauger]

Hi Jason,

I am involved with Vintage Camaro, a program that provides recognition and certifies survivor camaros at the GM nationals @ Carlisle. Below is a summary of our program. Please pass it along to the owner of the car. We would love to look the car over at next years GM nationals.

Thanks,

Steve

VINTAGE CAMARO PROVIDES THE FOLLOWING:


• Encourages the preservation, status, recognition and appreciation of unrestored Camaros

• Offer the hobbyist the opportunity to have their Camaro certified objectively and fairly

• Promotes and adheres to the philosophy that the original car showing wear is preferable to one that is improperly restored

• Vintage Camaro represents a repository of factory correct standards by which the hobby and serious restorers can all benefit

• Vintage Certification identifies a Camaro as having completed a thorough exhausting inspection process, which references factory standards, and at a level as certified by Vintage Camaro

Vintage Certifications levels are divided into four divisions:


• Vintage Legend - Camaros that are 80%-90% unrestored in all reference areas.
• Vintage Legacy - Camaros that are minimally 50% unrestored, in three out of five reference areas.
• Vintage Reference - Camaros that are unrestored in at least one Vintage Reference Area.
• Camaro Icon - Camaros that have original-unrestored components disbursed throughout.

Reference Areas: Certification consists of two areas of consideration, Originality (90%) and Preservation (10%). Reference areas are as follows:

• Engine Compartment Area
• Exterior Body
• Interior Body
• Underbody
• Trunk

What are the benefits of Vintage Certification???
• Vintage Camaro is unique, because it provides recognition, value and status to unrestored (survivor) Camaros.

• Provides documentation, and verifies the Camaros pedigree.

• Provides the owner with a detailed listing of correct and incorrect items

• Our goal is to uncover new information and share it with you.

Hi Jason, thanks for forwarding the Vintage Camaro Certification info to Jim. I just spoke with him for an hour and he has a wealth of info. He mentioned the tin foil was used on the heater hoses to shield the fuel line in that area from heat since they are next to each other in that area. When he raced the car in 69 and early 70 the car ran 13.70's all day long with the orig F 70 14. All I can say is wow, a great car and owner.
