69 Camaro BB w Baldwin Chevy Connection

[69 Post Sedan]

Having a 900+ point car is a non issue with some or even one with a shiny paint job. Some like to actually drive their cars without worrying about a bug getting on it. Some could care less about having a car with lot's of paper work. There are lots of cars out there with the original drivetrain with no POP that we know are original.

It might have some rust or a dent.....I personally like the car. Is it worth 30k?......beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Hell, Julia Roberts married Lyle Lovett....not for very long, but you I think you get the point. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

Anyway...I get what's being said and respect all sides but sometimes being upside down on a purchase of a car isn't the only thing in this hobby, enjoying it is and from what a lot of us here see, a little work &quot;might&quot; bring that out in this car. If the car is completely rotted and the motor is trash.....than that's another issue. My glass is half full.

P.S. Sammy, if this is the only thing we disagree on....we're doing good. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]

If you got this Camaro running and carefully cleaned and carefully detailed it, without screwing up the patina and the vibe, you could drive this into any old-guy cruise night or even a Goodguys fairground show and the sniffers would be all over it before you parked, sniffing for the money. You couldn't get the hood open fast enough. Guys would be looking underneath and inside, iPhones snapping pics like crazy, and they'd pepper you with questions as if you were in police custody for murder. The pics would be on the Internet within an hour and the discussion would be off like a moon rocket. Best part is you'd have a cool (mostly) unmolested Day 2 '69 L78 Camaro.

Noob here... and a guy who really, really misses his hot rodded (by somebody else earlier in it's life) '69.

My $.02, man, if I had $20k and could show up at this guys door and walk away with it, and had another few bucks to get the drive train back into running order and fix the body... I'm not the guy would would have to have NOS sheet metal or a period correct pulley...

Basically, I've seen some really nice local recreation cars for around $30k that are great, but they're not L78 cars with Baldwin style hoods.

I could just see it being a fun ass driver.

Hey Shane - welcome aboard. Always nice having Picksburg guys around here! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Thank you Sam. I actually grew up in Latrobe and lived there until a few years ago too. I had heard rumors of a garage that I'd passed 1000 times having some &quot;special&quot; Camaros in it, but I didn't know jack schitt about SCW until I registered here. (smacks forehead!) And Joe even grew up next to my grandparents' and I still had no idea!
