Does it still have a VIN, cowl tag and title ? If so, as you have seen on this forum, anything is possible with time, sweat and $$. Got any pics ?

 

Jamie -

If any of the vert specific metal, like the inner quarter braces, are still decent, it is worth getting. While you're getting pics of the outside and underside (if you can), make sure to shoot the inside/side of the trunk and the backseat area (the "special" sheetmetal is from the back of the door to the rear of the trunk). I think the braces would only work on another 69, but Dynacorn has not released the repro braces, so guys show up here from time to time looking for the braces.

 

I'll do the best i can getting pics this weekend. I just don't want to bpick it up for 500.00 and lose money on it. I wouldn't even care if i really made any profit as long as i could recoup my cash and get some usable parts to fellow members in need.

 

Its worth $500, if you dont want it tell me where it is and I will come get it.

 

:yes:

 

So i go talk to the tenant of the house today and she tells me that yes, it is her car and NO its not for sale. Apparently my informant was mistaken. I asked around at work about the car or it's owner and i got this story; The woman got it in the divorce 25 years ago and vowed to let it rot to the ground to pi$$ off her ex.
I don't know about him but it's working on me!
This weekend i'm gonna go back to see if i can get some pics of it.
What a shame.

 

Another wrath of a woman scorned. 25 years is a long time to be p....off... wonder who's really winning on this one, eh? If interested, ask just one more time...gently.

That's here in WI? I can't imagine a WI woman doing that to a camaro convertible! Seriously though no matter what the condition it's worth $500 (unless it has completely dissolved due to rust).

 

You'd be surprised at the stuff I see while out snowmobiling in the winter time here in Wi. You get whole new perspective when you can see people's back yard

There's a '69 with hockey strips in the back yard of a house near Dayton (suburb of Belleville) that hasn't moved in 4 years. If it was viewable from the road I'd stop in sometime and inquire.

 

Kill the ex..

 

Post the pics please, sad as they may be. Believe me, Camaro convertible parts cars don't exist anymore. I've been looking forever. It seems if theres a piece of sheetmetal and a vin left they say its "restorable"

 

David, hmm small world some of my relatives were from Belleville. I spent a lot of time there as a kid! Do you know any "Mannetters"?

 

Tell her to sell it to you for a $1.00 that would piss the ex off more than letting it rot.

 

post pics, post pis

 

I'll get pics from the highway before i go to work today. I'll post them tomorow just so i won't be the only one crying.:sad:

 

This reminds me of a 69 Pace car this man had. It was in the '80s. I saw a Pace car sitting in a field beside this man's house in Pulaski, Va. I went and ask him if it was for sale. He said no. So I asked him if I could take a couple of pictures of it. He ask in a real angry voice "why do you want to take pictures of it if its aint for sale?" I guess he got tired of people asking if it was for sale. I dont know what ever what happened to it.

 

I know how you feel. The first camaro i ever looked at when i had money to start searching.. i came across a 69 camaro 4speed 327 and the owner rather had it let sit on the side of the house in the mud driveway and rot in to the ground then sell it. He claimed that someday he might get the itch back in to cars again but if not he had his fun with it. Fortunately he had a 91 cavalier for sale though which he kept pushing on me
