Re: "Barn Find" 69 Camaro small block < 800 miles
[ QUOTE ]
Tony we both know that dont mean diddly, it is/was just a milage statement, sure he wants it to be 743 and the old gal did not know what she was sighning when he laid out the paperwork to release interest...now if she has service records indicating milage up until it was parked you may have something...if there was paperwork I am sure he would have listed it to prove his claim. [/ QUOTE ] Yes we both agree that it don't mean diddly Bud. I was just stating what the owner told me on the phone, but I am still skeptical. This is not the first low mileage 69 I have been interested in, but I would need some kind of concrete proof that it has the represented mileage stated in the auction. The owner told me that some people know the car around the area, and say that the mileage is original and correct. Well, that is not good enough for me, I would need more proof than that to convince me. I lost interest after that comment, and after telling me that he poured diesel down the carb. Of course the engine would have to be rebuilt, but who knows what else he did to it in order to try and start it. It is a very plain "base model" 69 ragtop, standard blue interior without the Z23 interior option, and no console. It is a X11/Z21 exterior optioned 69, but aside from that, there are no other added options.

Low mileage or not , the WHOLE car needs replaced/rebuilt to do it right. Restoring a Supercar in this shape yes, but a plain Jane no. IMO.
