Nice looking car but one thing I can never understand about some of the low mileage cars. If the can has had a full frameoff restoration why does it matter how many miles the car had before the restoration?

"specifically for the 1969 NHRA drag racing program. At the end of the season the consistent 10-second performer was retired to the back of the shop where it sat until the late 1980s, when it was resurrected with a complete frame-off restoration that included the original engine, a rarity among COPO cars, and many original parts that were removed prior to racing the car in 1969."

If the car was retired after one race season to the back of the shop, why would it need any restoration? It would be worth way more as the ultimate survivor COPO. Sounds a little fishy to me.

James and Mike I agree with you guys. Don't care if it had 1 mile or 100,000 miles. After a frame off why would that even matter. One year of drag racing and it needed a frame off. Wish it was left alone. All history lost IMO. The whole world wants to restore everything it seems.

I hear that all the time in my survivor 69 z28, &quot;when are you going to restore the car?&quot; and its not even in bad condition! I like to see original cars, scratches,bruises,dings. Anyone can have a restored car!

Any thots on the pictured window sticker? Is that supposed to be the original one?
