WIW - 69Z Hugger Orange w/Orange Houndstooth Int

[enio45]

My best friend from high school and i back in 73 each bought our first 69 Camaro

Mine was a 69 RS SS 350 4sp - fathom green car and his was this 69Z HO with HO houndstooth interior.

He still has his car and we are trying to get a value of it....here are the good and bad of the car...

Still has the car all these yrs, orig trans and rear, fresh paint, new interior, i believe new quarters and floor pans installed about 4 yrs ago. No paperwork (looking for protect-plate) , trim tag say 08A i believe, D80 car, flat hood. Desireable color and interior combo. Console car as well.

The bad - NOM - now has a strong 350 CI, I think corvette rally's, rear stripe painted wrong on the spoiler,
wrong steering wheel (has some after market wood wheel) , firewall has been smoothed, trim tag removed and reinstalled. All i can think of for now.....my friend does not care about originality as you can see, he made it his car, as evident with the long ownership.

It is hard for me to value this as most people (me included) like the originality of the car, and the trim tag creates an issue IMO. I know the car personally so i know it is a real Z. We may have some pics back in 73 when he and i bought our cars.

Looks nice, drives nice, needs nothing as a driver - but with the above items - WIW??

Thanks for your thoughts.....
