Default 1969 Camaro Olympic Gold 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 thread of this find.

Well, looks like a M21 / 4:10 rear. Date on rear is correct at 1118 for a 11D car. Numbers match engine / trans. Looks like Power steering / radiator gone. He replaced the passenger fender years ago. No stripe or 250 emblem. Have to fix that. Front wheels pretty much locked. Took 8 people to push it. Anyone want to see specific pics let me know. Odometer shows 52k. More solid than i thought. Just a bunch of scaled rust. floors / trunk look pretty good. Have to have Schoney look it over for an expert analysis.

Looks like a neat find and a good resto candidate. Is Schonye going to restore?
