Hey SW --- You only drove a little way!
I hauled an empty trailer from Seattle to Los Angeles to pick up (agreed up front if it was what it was supposed to be)... a "triple black '69 Camaro RS/SS - with A/C - 396 - automatic - Deluxe interior --- RECENTLY RESTORED". The Ad showed the car at the beach with a sunset in the background -- and warm fuzzy wonderful shots - all from a distance. I shoulda known --- but I was drawn to the description/rareness of the car.
A: The car was a Hugger Orange car painted black - that was Earl Scheib at best. It had already peeled off in chunks inside the doors and rockers.
B: The A/C was missing
C: If this was recently -- or even 25 years ago "restored" --- I didn't want what that word described.
D: Everything about the car was a complete do over.
