I suppose it could be cost effective to fix it if there was enough supporting documentation to prove it actually IS a festival car.
Whenever I see cars "pieced" together with different year parts on them...It kind of makes me wonder. Did the guy prefer the look of the '68 hood scoops better? As Rich pointed out, it has the wrong seat support, trunk pan, etc. and the engine is non-numbers matching. This car just strikes me as a big ![]() ![]() ![]() Bruce

Well if you dismiss a trim tag swap then the car is what it is. With festival cars documentation is almost non existant. The trim tag and Vin tag will verify IP track usage in this instance as the tag bears 0-1 and has the special stripe dash.
In reguard to your comments concerning the car being pieced together - I recall simular talk about the relative value in restoring Yenko and 69 COPO Camaro's as recent as 8 to 10 years ago that were also discovered "pieced together". I guess time will tell- or in the instance of this particular car - the bidders will speak in a final manner in about a week, and as of now they are bidding $27K. ![]() |

keep in mind the car was restored in the early early 80's when there were not alot of aftermarket parts being made. the car had full nos gm conv. quarters installed .I have only seen 2 sets ever advertized. I got in to these cars in the mid 80's and 67 and 68 conv quarters were not to be had at that time,I bought 69 conv quarter for 220.00 eh. from gm then. the point is they used what they had to, and fixed the car. it could have gone like this the car is to rusty and so lets part it out and crush the rest like so many others have been done over the years. so i would say it is a good thing that the car was saved and it can be all corrected and be made super nice againg some day
