1968 Camaro SS 396 L-78 All Original w/ 29000 miles, stock 375hp
Introduction
I am selling this amazing camaro for my brother-in-law which is not very
computer literate and has been busy running his family business. He has had
the car since 1985 and still doesnt have the time to restore this car so
it must go. He has a good paper trail on this car. You can email me with
any questions about it and I will get back to you ASAP. I reserve the right
to end the auction early due to the fact it is listed locally as well. You
can email me with any questions about it and I will get back to you ASAP.
I am not a used car dealer, no bulls*#$ or sugarcoating. I will answer to
the best of my knowledge. Also check out all the pictures and you can also
arrange a time to come and see it for yourself. I do not expect anyone to
be disappointed with this car. (FYI the car is currently stored in
Danbury, CT.)

What has been done to it
New 2005 Bentley Blue stunning paint on all original GM sheet metal camaro
was stripped to bear metal and painted [ we have pictures] and receipts.
The paint has 5 tones chameleon purple, blue, red, green, yellow.)
Depending on how you look at the car and the lighting you see the different
shades of colors. This was painted about a year ago.
The camaro will need 4 new tires because they were on it when he purchased
it in 1985.

Bullsh*t!
The OP states that the first owner used the car for only drag racing. Even
if the second owner doubled the mileage in the one year he owned it, that
still means that in the 16 years of original ownership he made over 2600
1/4 mile passes per year. Sure he did.
Then check the engine casting number on the block. It was manufactured in
1972, so it's obviously not the original engine. And it's not even a 396.
It's a 402. There are more things that seem wrong, but those listed are
easily and quickly identified.
This ad has all the traits of a scam to get a deposit out of you and then
they'll never be heard from again. Could I be wrong? Absolutely. But
something sure doen't add up. Happy buying.
vwhobo
The main thing that would scare me is the fresh paint. I have NEVER worked
on a project car that recent paint was not hiding something very bad. I
prefer faded original or an obviously older paint job every time.
