Default Nice survivor daytona yellow camaro L78

I was visiting a customer next to D&M corvette yesterday, so I stopped in to look at the candy, and walked right past this car, thinking it was a restored car. I said they need to get it vintage judged at MCACN, and then maybe it would be considered as having paperwork, and then it would sell. Why they are not doing that, I don't know, it would help such a rightous car. Or have Jerry M bless it. Any more these days, if something is said to be a survivor, you need to have certification of such if you got to sell it for top dollar.

Beautiful. It's crazy they are having a hard time selling it. My guess is they haven't been trying too hard or they haven't got a clue...

WOW A nice car for sure... wonder if it is an original 3.73 or a 4.10 car with the curved neck radiator, although it has had the top rail and or core replaced.

They told me 4:10 w/ curved neck. It needs some type of judging. They said the engine was never out, and the folks that have come to see it, backed that up. Valve covers look too nice to me, and for a 40K mile car, they look nothing like my 50K mile car. But who knows, only a judge/expert can tell.

Yes, the PBT appears quite vibrant, along with the sharp line at the top of the cowl.
If it still has the original non interlocking motor mounts on both sides I would be inclined to believe the engine had never been removed.

For what its worth, some heavyweight that is very well respected here, said its a real car, when he came in and looked at it. I cant share that, but believe it was true. They just could not agree on a price.
