This is the one I shouldn't have sold, I recently sold all of my 69 Camaros.
My wife and I had a 69 Z10 pace coupe, a 69 RS/Z28 and the 69 RS/SS below. It was one of the most rare 69 Camaros I have seen, extrmely well optioned and original Hugger orange with orange houndstooth interior. The car was unrestored including all of the original interior. the wheels were the only non original part of the car.

Your right, you should not have sold it!! Well, unless to me

I have a ton of pics on my site. Even some of my old 67 Camaro.

That's my favorite poster. If anyone's interested you can call 1-877-BFG-TIRE to order one. I think they're like $7-8 + shipping & it's a full 24x36 size.

Thanks for the complements guys!

At the time the orange car just wasn't what I was looking for, it needed
a complete restoration and I wanted a hot rod.

I couldnt bring myself to modify such a rare and original car.
