Never have to ask twice for pics of the the Bee.
The owner of the camaro is the ex-wife of a mechanic and she insists he always called it a 69. Not in my wheel house but if I can save this thing from rotting into the Earth, I will. I will either learn all about it with a restoration process (back to original if indeed numbers matching) or swap it for something I know more about. I am not a snob for one muscle car plant over another (had a 67 Mustang GT fastback to cruise through college). Born and raised in the Detroit are and my father worked for Dodge (any from there get that link). My first car was a 69 Charger (wish it weren't those damn things are ridiculously expensive). Always liked camaros and firebirds (pre 72). if possible, I am going to save this car. The challenge will be the price. She doesn't want to sell it because she thinks it is gaining in value rusting in the field. I have convinced her it is not but she still hasn't put a price on it.
