Well I am tossing around the idea of trading one of my 69 camaro's for something different. I honestly do not really want to sell it, I would rather trade. It is an original code 52 Garnet Red exterior with Ivory Houndstooth interior. Car was repainted back in the early 80's. The body on the car is extremely solid with very minimal rust if any. Car was built in LA and resided in Las Vegas the majority of its life, so its virtually rust free. The car runs and drives excellent. I have installed a C5 Corvette 4 wheel disc brake setup on the car and added the wheels along with a Nascar style quick release steering wheel setup. It has factory AC that works better than my other 69's with vintage air. It is console with floor shift 350turbo and 307 engine that is smooth and quiet. The paint on the car looks like someone has tried to make it "vintage" looking like some of these shop trucks you see around where they have sanded through edges and de-shined the paint. Its really cool and honestly get more looks in this car than any of my others. I have 4-69 camaro's at the moment and would like to trade for a 67,68, 70-73 camaro. Possibly a nice 68-72 Nova, chevelle, etc. I would consider several others even projects just send pics to [email protected]. Great thing about this car is you can leave as is and drive and enjoy it or restore/upgrade as you go while you can still drive. I guess if I have to post a price it would be around $18k.

Thanks lateral-g, the car is now sold and going to a good home in a couple weeks when its delivered to the new owner! Mark Stielow now has another project that we will all be excited to follow the build on, however this one may be a bit different than the rest he has done. I am excited to sell it to him just so I can watch what he does with the car....:lateral:

Cool! I think this may be the 2nd 69 Mark has gotten off the forums. I'm sure this one will be cool as well.

One of these days Mark is going to throw down on a 2nd gen and leave the rest of us in the dust there too.
