Re: What do you think about this 69 RS?
Cool car guy had it for sale for a long time don't know why?
He tried to trade it to me back many months ago on a 396/350 RS/SS. Good luck with it!

Re: What do you think about this 69 RS?
Yes, the previous owner that was in OH had it for sale for some time and on ebay. I don't think it sold very quickly because he was pretty firm on $38,500. A little high for this car at that time I guess. I didn't pay anywhere near that.

Re: What do you think about this 69 RS?
I need some opinions on whether or not to detail the engine compartment. It is untouched but not as "pretty" as the rest of the car. Some people who have not seen what a 37 year old untouched engine compartment should look like think that it doesn't look like a 27K original mile car, especially when the interior, exterior and undercarriage are so nice. Even though not pretty this is the best engine compartment I have seen on a low mile car. Some people don't understand what 37 years does regardless of miles! Anyway my question is the car more collectable with the engine compartment left along or cleaned/painted up? Thanks!

Clean it and put a light coat of WD-40 under there and wipe of the excesss. They are original only once. m

Re: What do you think about this 69 RS?
I had the same dilemma when I purchased our Chevelle. Only 20K miles, but the engine compartment looked pretty crappy....and it did not have the benefit of being a California car. It had been driven (albeit sparingly) for several years in Northern IL, year-round, and then had 29 years of less-than-ideal storage conditions
 . But once you start, where do you stop? Get the engine compartment looking spiffy and then all of a sudden the chassis doesn't look so good any more. Do that, and then you start 'finding' all sorts of flaws in the paint, and on and on it goes. Like others have said, do a little gentle cleaning, drive it and enjoy it.
