Default Steve Shaugers's 69 RS/Z28....

I originally purchased this car this car in June of 1999, as repainted and partially assembled car. I was attracted to the car because of the options and color. The car was purchased at Dave Hallman Chevy 3/26/69, by Paul Murphy. Paul owned the car until 1974 and sold it to his buddy Ray, (who worked at Dave Hallman Chevy and prepped the car when new) as part of a divorce settlement. Ray rarely used it and stored the car in garages and barns over the next 25 years. He started a restoration in the mid eighties but never completed it, which is where I come in. The car has only 37k miles, and the beautiful original interior supports that fact. Options include:
Rally-Sport
Console Gauges
Tilt Wheel
410 posi
8 track
am/fm
Remote Mirror
Defog
M22
Front Bumper guards
Vinyl top
Ivory Houndstooth Interior



After purchasing the car and getting it home I decided the car deserved a frame-off restoration. Well five years later I finally finished and showed it at this years 2004 Camaro National at Carlisle and received a gold certification in the 1000 point bowtie class. A special thanks goes to Jim Kosel (Rochester, NY) who prepared the body and painted the car and Ron Normann (MCCP) who provided most of the NOS parts and advice. During the restoration journey I asked myself why several times.... my questions have been answered.


Thanks,

Steve Shauger

Thanks Joe and Frank, vinyl roofs on 69 camaros do look good. I had even debated whether to put it back on, but am very pleased I did.
