Rare Finds - 1969 Chevy Camaro Z/28

"Somebody let loose a juicy tidbit about an original '69 Z/28 in a basement."

Skip Lecates found this Camaro the same way he found the Yenko Deuce that appeared on the cover of this magazine's Sept. '12 issue ("Mission Accomplished"), by talking with muscle heads in his area. He determined that the owner was a very private individual. Instead of knocking on his door with no invitation, Skip asked "a friend of a friend" who works with the Camaro's owner to "talk to Larry and see if I can get in to look at the car."

A Fiero? That'll look cute with your bedazzled purse and pumps.

Most of the cars were covered. So they were not classic barn finds in the sense of being neglected. Larry peeled back a car cover to reveal his original paint Z/28, Hugger Orange with deluxe houndstooth interior. Skip has owned many Camaros, but he had never seen anything like this Z/28. The car had obviously been well taken care of since new. He believes the Z/28 originally wore Firestone Sports Car 200 tires, which the owner removed and saved. They were stored in the basement with the Z/28.
