69 Camaro BB w Baldwin Chevy Connection

[scott s]

I assume if u guys made him a "close to asking price" offer that it is indeed a all#s matching orig L78 car at least?

[daverd]

Looked to be "numbers matching"
I was just ther for support
My pal is a Chevrolet guy
He knows more about
Correctness on camaros
Than I do ... ( No paperwork found or
Mentioned ) great history but again no paperwork...
Just an old muscle car
Run hard and put away wet ..
So to speak ..
Well is the car wort restoring ?
He likes a car with paperwork as I do ....
( I have some paperwork for my car )
The offer he made was VERY
Reasonable cash in hand ..
So he walked .. As I said my
Friend can afford to restore this car
( he has several frame off restored
Muscle cars ) Ias we all know these cars
take very substantial investments
To obtain and restore ... Some us
Prefer a paper trail before
Investing in them
I'm with gto dons comments
On this ... Ziggy l78
You can take a ride down to new
England to look at this car
It's not too far for you to go....
I'm done w this .....

Nothing has been mentioned about the build sheet.If I looked at this car and found out that no attempt has been made to remove any of the seats,door panels or gas tank,I would be very interested.If the rear or trans turned out to be original to the car and proper for an L78,I would buy it.I sure wouldn't walk just because the owner wouldn't drop on his price.At 25K I think this car would be getting a lot more press and 5K either way,means nothing to me.Take a Battery,headers and plugs and see if the car runs.I'm sure that if you showed the seller some cash,he wouldn't mind you trying to get to run.

I understand the barn find deal but why do guys try and sell a car like this and don't spend a couple of days cleaning it up?The interior is not that bad and if you could some how tell that the front seat was original,it could be a low mileage car.Clean it up,throw some used headers and mufflers on the car and get it running.Add some used Rally wheels or nice Cragars.If you can't do most of the work and want to fully restore a car like this then maybe you should keep looking.To someone that knows how to do most of the work except for say paint,I think it's a good deal.
Sh*t.It's a gold 69 big block SS 4 speed!What more do you want?

with all the above said.....how come this car is still for sale if it is a good deal, worth the money, a rare car, don't care about paperwork, just needs some TLC or whatever? get this car bought and maybe to the SLS this year.

I do love the CL ad quote:

You don't have to drive a car in the winter in Massachusetts for it to rust away. The salt air near the Mass coast vaporizes sheetmetal especially in places where condensation forms, like internal gaps between panels. So that quote is one helluva disclaimer.

It was in a climate controlled barn protected from the elements.

I like the idea of the car at SLS6! I'd bet there is a lot of things that could be documented on a car like that....BKH

See above 30.000 bucks for a rusty car is not cheap by most
People's standards unless you do the work
Yourself ..... You will have 100k in it
Could you get that back ??????
Doubtful on most muscle cars these days ....
Now I'm finished w this ....I'm with
What gto don said in this thread .....
If this car was such a deal for 30k or close
It would have sold by now it has been for sale
Before .... !!!!
