Close to my home town, original owner car.

Looks like downtown Oswego maybe

Neat car, but what's up with the difference in the hood and deck striping, and the placement of the 350 emblems on the fenders

Has the original owner been in the area since day one? I sure don't remember ever seeing that one at any shows or cruise nights in the past.

Although it is original owner and mileage it has had some body work done. It was not pampered in its early years and had alot of checking on the paint and some early rust issues. It appears that the person doing the work is not up to doing restoration work on early camaros. I did not get a chance to talk with the owner but next time I see him I will ask some more in depth questions.

P.S.
I am originally from Marseilles

No surprise there. So many people these days think that something must be drastically wrong for a car with relatively low mileage to have had rust repair & paint work done....not so. These cars rusted very easily and quickly by today's standards. Even though my Chevelle had <20K miles on it when I bought it, it had already needed minor rust repair at the bottom of the front fenders

At any rate, would be interesting to hear more info from the owner if you get a chance to talk more in depth with him!

Probably helps to explain why I don't remember seeing the car in the past
