Well this won't help, but in 1984/85, went and looked at one, California car, Air Force family was getting shipped to Germany, highly optioned powerglide car, all the chrome was removed was getting ready for paint, no rust, perfect interior, tach gauges speed warning fiber lights on the fenders, husband was gone to duty already and she told us well it looks like you guys are into Camaros give me $1200 and its yours, we passed cause the P/G was slipping, we passed cause we were stupid!!!!

I looked at a 68 RS Z28 about that time (84/85). This car had everyhting you could get from the factory. It had a bad clutch and needed a paint job. The owner wanted $4K. I offered $3K. Owner said no. A few weeks later I saw it driving down the street. I pulled over the new owner and talked to him about it. He got it for $3K. I should have had cash in hand when I made the offer.

Shannon, One more and I'll be quiet, I worked on the Shuttle Program for 25 years, lots of people know I have cars, drove cars, raced cars, and so on,

Guy I know says, You still have your Camaro?? sure do! He drove a plain jane 69 to work as a daily driver, ugly dried up paint, single exhaust, doggy 69',

He says I want to sell my 69!! buy it!!, I'll come look at it.....What do you want for it, nothing really, need to make some space! I get to his house, it's not space, he's in trouble.. wife's pissed, really pissed!! HE!!! has 3 Cessna 172 at his house in pieces!!!!! and 2 more in a Hanger, only 1 fly's, There's MF'n wings Fuselage's, there's parts everywhere, so, the story is, he took parts off the SBC in the 69 to make his 70's C10 run to ferry parts to and from the hanger, so, its dead, soon he will be dead too!

I start looking over the Camaro, faded gold, with the green interior, I looked at the engine area, says it's a 307 2bbl, and I notice, inside the fenders are diagonal emblem holes all filled with bondo, same with the other fender, and the tail panel, then there's the chrome Muncie handle and gauges, and a tack and a clock, and 12 bolt, and dual exhaust spots on the frame rail.....

SO!!! interest is high, that's the only 69 I've ever wanted a 69 Z/28!!, we agree to $1300 !!! I'm good with that, he was too!, It's like 2 weeks before Christmas, and I ask is it ok if I get it after Christmas, but, before NYE! sure, no problem! It'll be here!!

I'll pay for it now, no, its OK! Christmas comes and goes,

I call on the 27th, Tom I'm want to come get the car! HE'S like oh' yea, I went out of town before Christmas, the wife found out I went to go pick up another plane!!!! SO! while I was gone, she called a friend from North Florida and he came down and got it,

I was like really?? even though she was right there when I said I'll come get it, all he said was I'm sorry !

People have told me I should have hunted her down, I've heard all kinds of things people wanted me to do to her!!!

10-15 years go by, I see him in a Cafeteria, he says hey I think that car was a Z/28, said yea pretty sure it was, he was like wow, they go for big money!!! I said you gotta have all the original parts!!!!

That whole thing still stings to this day!
