Hello Camaro lovers :cool:
My name is SprayBomb & I have a 69 Z/28 :thumbsup:
It's been sitting for somewhere around 32 years :eek: & it's got somethin like 80,000 miles on it

Fairly solid car for for sitting in the woods under pine trees :o It's got a perfect trunk, the floors are pretty darn solid & the only bad rust is around the window frames

Ima dork & haven't ran the numbers yet, cuz I haven't even looked at the body tag :o But it is the darker green with white stripes & black interior :cool:

It's missing these parts for sure: 1 head, intake, carb, trans, air cleaner, shifter, & original wheels (the #5 cylinder has a hole in it, but my machinest said it could be fixed)

I found the: spare tire (but no jack), the original hub caps, trans X-member, drive shaft, & the distributor
I still have more digging to do, but it's looking like thats all Ima find :(

I plan on never selling this car, as it is my dream car & fell into my lap :D but I am curious as to what she's worth :p

Heres the pics, sorry they're kinda crappy
I took them with my dads phone, as I forgot my camera

This had to have been one of the hardest loads we've ever done !!! (mainly just getting the trailer into position, the car drug onto the trailer no prob)

Great find!!

Scott

how the heck did you find that??? Out hunting???

Great find!!

Scott

Well it's a long story, but lets say you have to be at the wrong place at the right time to find it

It's taken me about 4-5 years to buy it ;)

Welcome Spray. Nice find! Lot's of knowledge here. Just ask away with your questions. By the way, did I mention, nice find?

I never get that lucky ....

Wouldn't a helicopter been easier ?

Congrads on find, i wonder if pine straw helped protect the car, it sure looks like it was under pine trees

Nice find. That'll buff out.

Yeah I saw some paint restorer on the TV last night, only 19.95 would work wonders on that car.

What a find. Good luck with the project. Tell us the story! You're from Texas and the Car came out out CA!

Sweeeeeeet, Nice find there SprayBomb. Having read the whole thread over at the linked site, I believe you have the right attitude and desire to restore that car to its former self. Thanks for saving another 1st Gen. As mentioned, you should try to find out if the old lady knows anything about the missing components. Just wear your bulletproof vest.....LOL

OK, you've got to tell us HOW MUCH? Inquiring minds want to know!!! How about some trim tag pics????? GREAT find!!!!!!!!!!

Great find and welcome to TC.

Cool find... A CA black plate car with Sac frames around the plates, was it dug up in CA or TX? Too bad about the block if it's the orig... What year is on the tag on the rear plate?

Wow another Ca black plate car out of state. Great find.

Wow - looks like a heck of a find!

Welcome to the site and enjoy your Camaro. Looks like a nice one to bring back to life.

Wouldn't a helicopter been easier ?



I dunno, maybe

I dunno, usually when they sit under pine trees here it eats em alive :confused:

Man I wish there were enough of the paint left to do that :yes:

What a find. Good luck with the project. Tell us the story! You're from Texas and the Car came out out CA!



I will be typing up a story for the E-Zine we have, so when it comes out I'll let ya'll know so you can check it out

Thanks, Sadly our trigger happy friend passed away a day or two ago :(

Found it in Texas

Block is original DZ

Last tagged through 74

what part of Texas do you find that at?? Every place I ever lived, we had mesquite trees!

All the block needs is a little JB Weld. Nice find.

Pine trees in Texas?

East texas

Nice car, congratulations! My 69 was made the week before yours in LA and was also sold new in the Sacramento area. What is the name of the dealer on the rear license plate frame?

Seveal years ago I was deer hunting in east Tx. We parked my 1969 Camaro in the woods. We got drunk and forgot where we parked and walked home. I never found my car. I think you found it. Please give it back. thank you.

Spray,

Excellent find and I'm glad to see you will be sharing the rebuild process with all of us (just not the cost)! Charlie 69 RS

Wow I can hardly wait for the story. Looks like a nice find. Have you run the numbers on the car yet? Just curious what it really is and how much is still there. Good luck.

Yikes. Why would someone drive it in the woods and leave it? Were they hiding it from someone? Ex-wife, the real owner, the IRS, ????

Brent,

Now don't go and spoil all of our fun & joy with all of the legal stuff!

(Just kidding, good questions).

True, true...probably just a car that needed some "alone" time...

Nice find!

I love a story of a find like that. I have had several tips on cars just like that and none of them has worked out yet. I kinda doubt that anyone DROVE that car to that spot with a hole that big in the block. As for the pine trees, being from N.C. (home of the pine tree) I can tell you that it looks to me that the car was parked there before the trees started growing up around it. Those trees grow like weeds! By all means, keep us posted. This is gonna be a great story to keep up with! Kevin
