Default '69 Camaro Z10 found on Lost Muscle Cars!!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WledJnniwTg

It’s been almost 40 years since Allison moved from New Jersey to Arkansas and won the bet she made with her boyfriend at the time – that she’d get a ’69 Camaro RS-SS before he did! When she got to Arkansas it wasn’t long before she heard about an iconic Camaro that was the envy of everyone in town, and when it went up for sale, she acted quickly and bought it! Allison never lost a street-race, but unfortunately, she would soon lose the car. She was forced to sell it when her parents decided to move leaving her with no place to store it. To top it off, research would reveal that her car was no ordinary RS-SS, this was actually a super rare, 1 in 500, Camaro Z10! Allison posted her search on Wes Eisenschenk’s Facebook page, “Lost Muscle Cars,” and within hours information was rolling in! Wes, along with the help of his “Lost Muscle Car” community, found the car! Watch now, as Wes surprises Allison with the news that the car has been found! And not only found, this Z10 has been meticulously restored, better than the day it was born!
