Absolutely, and I've done similar in the past however it relies on a willing seller. Most are willing to work with you, some aren't. Lots of old school face-to-face guys out there and that's fair enough. Not too fussed with letting this one be as there's already a Frost Green LM1 survivor in the family

https://charlotte.craigslist.org/pts...780559888.html guy sounds like a prick. He is looking for a cash sale. My guess is he is flipping it and doesn't want to pay any tax.
Down south that is a 25 to 27k car. There are plenty of people in the Charlotte nc metro area on the board. Some one or i could look at it if you if you get serious.

Interesting seams with pop rivets and caterpillar welds right behind the bumper and at the quarter panel too. Not so much a "survivor" ??

Yeah... I didn't want to say this on a public forum however 'unwilling' seller and a car with a few surprises. Not the one for me.

I just watched a video on the Roadster Shops YouTube page titled, “Inside the Roadster Shop tour hotrod shop cars…”. At around the 32ish minute mark they show a base Camaro with yellow houndstooth interior that’s going to become a Survivor Series build. I’m sure there weren’t too many base Camaros with that interior. I’m sure it will be an amazing build but it’s a shame it wasn’t going to be restored to stock. I don’t know how to post a video clip.

Good luck with your search.

Cheers,
Marty

Marty, I’ve also tried to no avail to post a small video on the site. Says it to big, it’s a walk around of the 4K only about three minutes long.

First base Camaro with yellow houndstooth I’ve come across. I’d be surprised if there were double digits of them built - certainly a rare car indeed. A shame it’s not going back to stock however if there was a company to do it justice as a modified car, the Roadster Shop are the right guys for the job.

On the search front, I’ve just purchased a really cool very original survivor 69 RS. I’ll create a new thread when it arrives from its journey around the globe. Surprisingly, I’ve lucked out even more because the car is optioned almost exactly how I would’ve ordered one. Only plans are to detail it, do whatever is needed to get it roadworthy and registered and cruise the wheels off it.

Congrats on the find and purchase. You are a very patient person...

Congrats on your find. Looking forward to your new thread.
I stumbled upon this so I figured I’d share just in case someone else is looking for a base Camaro. Lots more photos in the listing. Appears like an honest car. I have no connection to it. It is listed on Facebook.
