I HAVE OWNED THIS CAMARO SINCE 1973 WHEN I BOUGHT IT AT AGE 16 FROM THE SECOND OWNER. I WILL BEGIN TELLING YOU THAT YOU WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO BUILD THIS CAR WITH ALL THE NOS PARTS I USED IN IT'S RESTORATION FOR THE RESERVE PRICE I HAVE FOR THIS AUCTION. THIS CAR HAS WON A NUMBER OF 1ST PLACE AWARDS AT CAR SHOWS SINCE IT WAS COMPLETED INCLUDING BEST IN CLASS AT THE WORLD OF WHEELS CAR SHOW IN MINNEAPOLIS. (1ST PHOTO UNDER LIGHTS WAS AT THAT SHOW BEFORE DISPLAY WAS SET UP) I LOVE THIS CAR BUT HAVE GOTTEN TO THE POINT AFTER THIS MANY YEARS THAT THE MARRIAGE MUST COME TO AN END AND SOMEONE ELSE NEEDS TO START ENJOYING IT. SINCE THE RESTORATION WAS COMPLETED IN 2004 THE CAR HAS ONLY HAD A LITTLE OVER 1000 MILES PUT ON IT. IT HAS BEEN STORED IN A TEMPERTURE CONTROLLED GARAGE SINCE THE RESTORATION WAS STARTED IN 2000. WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR THE SECOND OWNER HAD BLOWN UP THE ORIGINAL DZ 302 ENGINE AND HAD INSTALLED A 327. I LOCATED A CORRECT 69 DZ302 NOT LONG AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR BUT IT WAS STORED AS I BUILT A LT1 350 ENGINE FOR THE CAR TO DO A LITTLE STREET AND DRAG RACING. WHILE WORKING AT WHITE BEAR DODGE DURING THE 70'S, I HAD A GOOD FRIEND WHO WORKED AT A NEARBY CHEVROLET DEALER AND I STARTED COLLECTING OEM NOS CAMARO PARTS SO TO RESTORE IT SOMEDAY. AFTER USING THE FRONT CLIP TO FIX UP A 69 RS SS CONVERTABLE IN 1980 AND THE LT1 SOLD OFF, THE CAR WAS PUT IN A SEALED STORAGE UNIT OUT OF SITE FOR THE NEXT 20 YEARS. I WILL DO MY BEST TO DESCRIBE ALL THE ORIGINAL PARTS AND NEW PARTS USED IN THE RESTORATION BUT IF ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE CONTACT ME. THIS CAR IS A REAL Z/28 X77 CAR AND I HAVE THE PROTECTO PLATE THAT CAME WITH THE CAR. THOUGH THE ENGINE IS NOT FROM THIS Z/28, IT IS A CORRECT 1969 DZ302 ENGINE. THE 4 SPEED TRANSMISSION, 12 BOLT REAR AXEL, SUB FRAME, STEERING SECTOR, INTAKE MANIFOLD AND CARBURATOR ARE ORIGINAL TO THIS CAR. THIS CAR IS NOT AN ORIGINAL RALLY SPORT, AS BEING IT WAS NOT A COMPLETE NUMBERS CAR I DECIDED TO RESTORE THE CAR AS I WOULD HAVE ORDERED IT NEW IN 1969.

THIS CAR IS NOT PERFECT BUT IT'S PRETTY DARN CLOSE TO IT. THE PAINT IS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE WITH LOTS OF CLEAR AND THE BLACK STRIPES LAID ON TOP LIKE THE FACTORY/DEALERS DID IT. "PHOTOS DO NOT DO THIS CAR JUSTICE AS TO HOW IT LOOKS IN PERSON" MECHANICAL... EVERYTHING WAS REBUILT OR GONE THRU. THE DZ302 WAS DYNO RUN BEFORE INSTALLED . THE ONLY QUIRK IS WHEN THE CAR ISN'T DRIVEN FOR A WHILE SEEMS TO LEAK A LITTLE FROM THE FRONT SEAL ON THE MUNSIE TRANSMISSION. ALL THE SPRINGS FRONT AND REAR ARE NEW, ORIGINAL CONTROL ARMS WERE REBUILT AND ALL STEERING RODS REPLACED EXCEPT CENTERLINK IS NEW. THE DISTRIBUTER IS A MSD REPLACEMENT ELECTRONIC THAT LOOKS LIKE AND ORIGINAL.

I KNOW THAT THERE ARE A FEW THINGS THAT MAKE THIS CAMARO NOT FACTORY CORRECT (ENGINE COMPARTMENT FIREWALL PAINT, CHROME BRKTS AND ALTERNATOR(ORIGINAL) BUT I BUILT IT THE WAY I LIKE (TO DRIVE IT) AND THIS IS NOT A TRAILER QUEEN / MUSEUM CAR.... IT'S A GORGEOUS 1969 CAMARO Z/28 RS THAT WILL TURN HEADS WHERE EVER IT GOES AND IT'S FULL OF ORIGINAL PARTS AND WAS A SOLID CAR FROM THE START.
