Thank you, it is a nice car. I first saw it about a year and a half ago and tried to buy it then but the owner wouldn't sell it, he said he was saving it for his son and I understood that but it has sat for quite a number of years. I checked on it about every 3 or 4 months with the same results. A friend of mine called me Thursday evening and told me the owner was finally ready to sell it, I bought it. It has a nice older paint job, the body is straight, the interior is emmaculate, the 350 is cammed, everything is tight and it drives nice and smooth but it doesn't have the power of an LS1. I'd call it a survivor, it's been repainted and the interior is probably newer but this was done years ago. I have several more pics I can post later, I've got to go pick up my kids.

My picture taking skills are lacking but here's a couple of more anyway. It needs a new antena, front spoiler, the vinyl top put back on(it's painted now) and a good wash and wax job but I think it has alot of potenial.

Lots of potential man, i'd love to work on my 69 some but I can see cash in my 99 right now, so 69 will wait till funds allow everything i want. School is more important right now

Hope it's as nice as these posted eventually

I'm real pleased with it's condition for sitting so long, it had a 1/4 of dust on it. It has some minor scratches on it from sitting in the shop but they're easily fixed. The engine bay needs some work, it's all there but you can tell the hoses and belts are old. Wish I had of gotten a close up picture of the cowl tag and the tag on the door. Here's the engine bay.

Nope, the bad bird will always have a reserved spot in the garage just making an addition to the stable. This guy has some nice cars man. I think his son took the 67 Vette and he just sold the 70 Cuda. I saw an original 69(I think) GT-500 fastback, a 68 Camaro 396/SS convertible and several chevelles, must be nice.

Actually I was going to trade the T/A to a friend of mine for a 1st gen but we kind of mutually decided against that. I'm just hoping this guy doesn't back out on the deal, he didn't really want to sell it in the first place. I was laughing while I was driving it, that steering wheel cracks me up and it's a cammed 350, sounds good but is slow to accelerate compared to an LS1.

That's a pretty car T/ASF, I really like the pin strips on the body lines, they look good with the Marina Blue color. I might have to see how they would look on the Lemans Blue.

If the color on the '69 in those photos is not skewed, that car does not appear to be lemans blue at all. Lemans blue is darker than that. That looks more like Glacier blue.
