Not easy for me to do, but my pristine '99 Hugger is up for sale. I'm purchasing a '70 Camaro this weekend so the funds from the '99 will be used to make the '70 just as nice.

I bought the car in March of 2010 from Huggerorange73 right here on LS1TECH. The car had 53k on the clock. It spun a bearing in July of 2010 and that's when the modding began. I decided to go all out and redo the engine, trans and rear end. All the motor and trans work was completed and installed by me in spring of 2011. Car had 56,023 on the clock.

This car is amazing. I have seen it in person several times and it is super clean. Whoever buys this car will not be disappointed. Everything on the car is top notch. GLWS bro! Can't wait to see the 70.

Don't let that stop you. Its a lot easier to change the roof than to find another one this clean. This car is very tastfully modded and everything is top notch.

who gives a **** about a hardtop when the car is this clean. Wish I had the cash to grab this one...........

iTrader: (24)

Thanks for all the kudos.

You will not find a cleaner 4th gen!

breze84

Clean camaro no doubt... Love the orange, If you cant find a cleaner 4th Gen I assume there better not be 1 chip/scratch on the whole car .....

97ss497

iTrader: (24)

No dents or scratches; there are a few very small rock chips in the front; but this car is not a garage queen.

I've maintained the exterior using Junkman2008's methods to a tee.

You'd be a very smart man if you did Mike! The car needs nothing! Of course you would add something to make it even better...

hardbones

I just saw your post over on NastyZ28, I wish this car had been for sale back in June! I might have to think hard about throwing my car up for sale since I was looking for a Hugger Orange car originally after just selling my Hugger Orange 73 Camaro back in May.

You have a great looking well built car!!

Now this us starting to get weird. Hardbones sold his 73 Hugger Orange car which is exactly the same type of car Mike (Huggerorange73 ) had prior to having the car I bought from him and am selling now.
This is Twilight Zone stuff....
