The MCACN show is the perfect venue to get the exposure this car deserves. In addition this would be a great car for Vintage Certification. A team of judges (4-5) spend 3 hours independently evaluating the originality of every car participating in our program. You receive a six page detailed report with our findings which provides provenance to each car.

Unfortunately I have never had an opportunity to see this car, but there is nothing like a survivor. Regarding paint, and the question raised regarding the possibility of clear coat being applied I would recommend (carefully) applying a polishing compound (mild abrasive) to the paint in specific areas and verify if gold paint residue is transferred to the polishing cloth. Besides tape lines and paint thickness, it is advisable to verify if any molding or hardware has been removed.

Glen, we would love to have this car participate in MCACN show.

Good luck with the sale.

Nice car!

Mike,
The dealer was Havre Motors in Ravenna, OH.
Spoiler and wheelwell moldings were added by the MI owner in 2001.

you know, I saw a light green metallic L78 chevelle convert at the latest MCACN show, I think it was a 67. It was 100% original paint, perfect survivor, yet it looked like it was cleared over, it was that nice (yet it was not cleared over). I believe certain paints can age or appear different from one another. There was also a 67 gold camaro in vintage judging, and it too looked almost too shiney (until it was then verified as original paint).

Mike,

I remember seeing the car several times at the Saturday evening cruises in Brunswick. What a beautiful car.

Good luck with the sale.
