I bought a "leftover" '69 Camaro in Mar 1970 that had been special ordered for a couple who never completed the deal. It was a Nassau Blue SS 396-325hp, four-speed, 3.07 positrac, no spoilers, ZL-2 fresh air hood, console w/gauges, AM-FM radio, Strato bucket seats (optional interior), disc brakes (required option on all '69 SS cars). The car later ran 14.11 as a "pure" stocker on Goodyear G70 Polyglass tires. The only mods I ever did was to smoke over the carb and distributor, adjust the valves and do a little exhaust work. A friend of mine and I drove it to the Springnationals in Columbus in 1972 and averaged 77 mph and got 16.1 mpg. One of the best cars I ever owned.
