While crusing through the local lemon lot I happen to come across this 69. It is on Eglin AFB. The pic are very kind to this car it needs lots of work. The owner wants 14k for it.. It looks to be a real RS with 3 on the tree and an old 350. It does have a functional cowl hood. I looked under the tail end and I found a 10 bolt on 4 leaf springs. It needs a total repaint because it looks like who ever painted it used a gel coat off of a boat. IN the right hands it could be a nice car but I think 14 is way too high.

hahahaha it looks like Bill Dance's bass boat. 14k is way up there, but for $7k it could make for a nice project car.

I agree 14k is way too high. Lots of rust, bad quarters.... needs repaint. But hey it would look real good with a couple down riggers and a case of beer. Mabey even a king salmon. :)
Great pics btw. Very detailed. Wish my camera could do that.

$7-8K max, considering the amount of rust repair and paint work it will need.

lol, that is gel-coat. If anyone has ever messed with Gel-coat they would know to turn around and run from that car. Gel-Coat of pretty tough stuff to sand. That would be like sanding 25 layers of paint. You might find some serious rust and bondo in that car. Another thing I am wondering is why would someone pay to have a gel-coat on a camaro when a paint job is normally cheaper in price.

You youngsters are giving up your age. There was a time (mid '60s to early '70s, before the term "bass boat" even exsisted) that the metal flake paint job on that camaro was considered cool :1st: . The bigger the flakes the better. Some put the flakes in the paint while others would spray them on in clear. Needless to say, by time you had a gun that could "pass" those huge flakes, it would be getting pretty hard to lay down the paint itself.
It's quite possible that someone used marine gell coat, but I suspect that the paint job is the old metal flake paint. That would make it at least 30 years old (and that's not near as old as me) :santa3: :fart:

yeah I am defintely one of the younger guys. If you take a look at the up close picture of the cracked coating. That maroonish spattered color is exactly what gel coat looks like after you get through the "bling bling" color flake. I can only imagine that was popular at one time period, but times have changed!

It is just a place where people park car that they want to sell. Then after a while everone knows that if u want a car just go look on the Lemon lot to see what is for sale.. IT is kind of like a classified section of the news paper only in real life.

I was beginning to think that to get that crazy metal flake effect you had to use gel-coat! I still see a few cars with that metal flake stuff running around, usually Vette's or the occational Bradly GT kit car. Anything out of the 70's.

The Lemon Lot is a term used in the airforce where airmen are allowed to park cars they have for sale for no charge. It's just a parking lot somewhere on base.

Now for the car. When i was like 6 years old. the girl who used to babysit me had a boyfriend named Dan who had a 69 EXACTLY like this one. Same color blue, same sparkly paint, same keysone rims, same blue stripe up front. Dan was in the airforce at Beale AFB. His "awesome camaro" was one of the reasons i grew up to join the AF myself. (airforce guys have cool cars...ect) I wonder if it used to belong to him? I suppose it's possible.

edit. I have a pic of me in dans car at my moms house somewhere. Im gonna try and dig it up this weekend.

Tony, did you have a man-crush on Dan?

LOL, kidding. I'm sure we can all credit our auto-sickness to some older guy when we were growing up that had the coolest car in the neihborhood.
