Is that the short spoiler with the rough texture.  I had a D80 68 convt. that came with the short rough texture spoiler.  I threw it away because I thought someone bought it from JC Penney..... lol

I'm glad the market has corrected some.  It's a shame that the great HiPo cars are outa reach for the common guy.  The market correction is the only reason I was able to buy my dream car. The N.O.S. market has also dropped some in the last few months.  I guess the free market ideals of supply and demand will always direct the market.  It has taken me 20 years of buying, building and selling to stack my nickels high enough to buy my current car.  Even though I always tell my wife that my most recent car is my last, I seem to always strive for the next level.  Anyone have a 67 SS RS convertible -- lol?

I've read that the average classic car dealer makes $8,000 per sale - I bet some of these guys are in a pinch now.

As far as paying $700 for a fan - if I had the right car(L89 envy) and needed it - had 7 Benjimans - I would pay it. I would not tell anyone - lol  I have paid prices for NOS parts that some in my area would say is crazy, but it makes my testosterone level rise when I can have a new old stock piece. Of course it's all relative to what you can realistically afford.

Yes it was the yellow L30 car.  I do not remember if there was a date.  I'll dig through some photos in the next couple of days and see if I can spot anything.  If I talk to the new owner in the next few days - I will ask him.

Originality / 67 Bowtie Mirror

« on: February 13, 2009, 03:44:48 AM »

Does anyone know if bowtie mirrors were installed on 67 Camaros?  I sold a 67 back in the summer that was an all original with 52k miles, survivor car, October 66 build date - it had one.  I now have a 67 SS/RS with a December build date that has one.....  Just curious   I've read posts that say it never happened and had people tell me the same.  These cars appear to be original...
