Default 1969 Camaro L78 Barn Find

There's something about bringing back a car with such history and significance to its original state of how it was known. Finally after a 5 year restoration process I am proud to release the pictures of my 1969 Camaro Olympic Gold born with drivetrain L78 with Baldwin add ons. I had the opportunity and pleasure to unveil the car at MCACN 2024. Hope I achieved what the car deserved.
Thank you SYC members who followed the original thread of this find.

That turned out fantastic. Job well done. How about posting your restoration in progress photos if you took any. Would love to see the transformation. Love to color and look!

Agree with Rick. My son and I spent a lot of time looking at your car at MCACN. Great car. Great job. Would like to hear and see more of the story.
