The title says it all "simply the best" is so right. Charley have you noticed most of your Camaros are Rally Sports?

Congrats Chill. I like to see the new interest in Un-Restored, original cars. Not only are they a rare piece of history that's been "preserved", they are the "benchmarks" for other cars to be restored by. Their intrinsic value for the future of the hobby is far greater than their current market value. Dollars can not quantify the true value of a car like that.....

I talked briefly with Norman today. He worked in St Charles and was driving a 69 Impala Custom to work and would drive by Fencl-Tufo every day. He had driven a friends 70 Z and liked it. One4 day as he is driving home from work he sees this car on the lot and traded in his Impala on it. The inside rear view mirror is missng and Norman said it was like that when he got it and he never bothered to go back and bug them about it. There is a area behind the right rear wheel that has been painted on but Norman said he had never noticed it and he never painted on it. Jason said it is lacquer so we are guessing it was done at the factory or at the dealer before Norman bought it.

Incredible. I love the great stories behind these cars. When was it last run?

[/ QUOTE ]

It was last run in 73. Norman and both his brothers stated that nobody has ever sat in the back seat and the passenger front was only sat in a couple times.

Why did Norman let it go after all these years?

WOW, that is incredible.

I'm also interested in what prompted him to sell after all of these years.

What a find. It's incredible a car can sit that long unmolested. Love it. Can't wait to see some of the detail pics.

My question is, how did he keep his kids from taking it for a joy ride? (I know I would have)
