For an original car with so much original stuff still there, and it being a RS/SS '69, I don't think 13K sounds bad at all. Stock manifolds too? I like it.
And those quadrajunks aren't too bad either.

 

Not that it matters much but how many miles on it.

 

You got a bargain!! The seller may have hosed himself......

 

No hosing, X2 on the bargain comment !

Now how 'bout them pics ?

 

You guys are making me feel better, sounds like I was at least in the ball park. I give up on the pictures but if anyone wants to give me an email address I can email them and you can post them if you want to mess with it.

 

Dean, check your email........feel free to send me the pics and I will post them up for everyone to see. :thumbsup:

 

pics pics pics!!

 

awesome slideshow fordpowerjoke !

 

Thanks......Hopefully I will be adding to it over the next several months.....:beers:

 

you got a heck of a deal, imo. that's a rare car; as far as the stuff that's still original. congrats.

 

Here you guys go! Looks like a great car to me. I am almost as green with envy!

 

I think that is a deal at 13K!!

Shoot, I'd try to fix the dent in the door, clean it up really good, and drive it for a while.

 

I agree on the door. Just get a skin for it. Keep all the original GM sheet metal you can. :yes:

Looks like a nice buy for 13k. Love the blue alternator. Think that was Pep Boys deal in the 80's. Enjoy the Camaro.

 

If you say that car needs total restoration, then my car looks like $%* and needs to be scrapped !!

Nice car / good deal :thumbsup: Those colors back in the 60's and 70's were hideous !!!!!!!! i cant imagine what color clothes some of you guys wore back then if they colored cars like that. LOL .. No offense , just how weird how times have really changed , but yet those cars are STILL Cool !

 

I had a pair of pants the same color as that interior.....

Nice find and you got a good deal.

 

I'd say $13K is about right.

 

id say you did all right, a true ss/rs with matching motor for 13K, good deal.

 

Hey, thanks for picking-up my car for me! Remind me again your delivery charge to Connecticut? That's a great deal at 13; the owner wasn't sure what he had, and I agree, seems to have hosed himself... Have a blast; looks really clean.

 

I think you got a great deal,, myself i would put it in a barn and not touch it for another 20 years,, its cars like yours i belive thats going to be worth the big bucks years down the road

 

I would keep it green. One of my favorite 69 colors...

 

Looks like a pretty good deal. Changing the color will hurt the value though, and Rally Green is actually a nice color with fresh paint.

He said Frost green is the original collor.

I would leave it the original collor also. There is a frost green 67 Chevelle here local thats lowered with some 18" polished torque thrust II's. Its one of the cleanest/best looking cars and cleans house at the shows.

 

Yikes, leave it green? it was originally frost green with a dark green vinyl top and grody green interior which it still has. I might be able to accept the frost green and leave the top off but the grody green interior has to go. if I'm going to change the interior anyway the paint color probably wouldn't matter. I hear what you're saying and I'm an originality freak myself, but triple green is a curse where damage to the value is already done and changing the colors would be considered understandable by most folks is what I'm thinking.

 

the orignal colours are kinda kool and rare ( for me ) to see, but if and when you change the interior to black, and if you have the room - save all them green components in a safe place.

You have found a pretty rare car, with alot of original components - and that's where future value of the project is - in my opinion -

In the end it's your project and make it exactly what you want it . . .

 

Changing the color would damage the value more than the triple green combination. This is not a plain jane car. Frost green is a beautiful color anyway and the green interior would really compliment it. I'll take a car like this over a typical blue/red with black interior any day. Just my two cents.

 

I agree completely, keep it all green! Most of the green cars have already been changed and you just don't see green interior anymore. If it were not numbers matching I would say change away. When new that frost green is a cool color and you very seldom see that color anymore.

 

I can agree on the triple green needing to go. I would consider keeping the original exterior green but change the interior to white for contrast. I hated all the triple green cars when they were new and the resale when they were a few to a dozen years old was much lower than the same car with a better color combo.
If the door is original and rust free, that dent is easily brought back and would only need a skim coat of filler to be perfect. I wouldn't even consider changing it.

 

I missed the frost green part. Probably 25 years ago I took a #'s matching same color combo as yours SS RS 396 4 speed and changed it to yellow with black interior. Today I would leave it Frost green but wouldn't want to keep it...Just the way it is....
