Mark, I was biting my tongue at some of the critical comments towards this car. Although I havent personally inspected the car it looks like a very nice original low mileag car. camaromb description is spot on. Regarding the paint work, that really is impossible to determine from pics. Definitely a neat car....

Survivor cars show how "imperfect" the build process really was!

Bruce,

That is certainly the truth. The quality of the initial builds compared to today's cars pales in comparison. The survivors I have would certainly have gone back to the dealer for &quot;tidying up&quot;. I remember my brother getting a brand new '75 Caprice. I went with him to the dealer to pick it up. A month later he took it back to the dealer with 52 discepancies. Most of which were never corrected. A nice car, but poor by today's standards.

This Camaro is still very cool.
