Man!, what a car! I think I have to agree with installing Cragars on that car; not just ANY Cragars, but correct ones. I, too, had a very similar situation when I bought my '69 W-31. After the purchase, I found the original owner and he still had every piece of original paperwork, sans the window sticker. Fortunately, my stuff wasn't held hostage! I knew EXACTLY what car it was ("hiding" in plain sight)and bought it immediately, but the paperwork sure was a great addition. Funny how things have changed over the years, but I think we all have stories about selling cars making a few bucks, that later we wished we hadn't.

James great job locating the owner, paper work, and the level of detail you shared in the pictures.

Dave congrats on a jewel of a find. Thanks for sharing all the pics and info.

&quot;When are you gonna' restore it?&quot; (Pinch eyes together.)

Re: 1969 l78 Convertible Califonia Desert Car
 

----This is probably the most unlikely 69 Camaro to ever be delivered with dog-dish caps. Because of the extensive option list the caps just seem so out of place. Obviously this great Camaro was a customer ordered car. I could understand the desire to put a set of Cragar's back on the car, but I'm not a big Cragar fan on Camaros (just me). Id rather see some higher end wheels if there even is a desire to upgrade, but that is obviously an owner decision! But,,,what a great Camaro, just awesome!!!!.....Bill S

I love it just like that. No spoilers, no Rallys, no cowl hood, no Z stripes. I'll bet it really throws the average cruise-in/car show Camaro enthusiast for a loop.
