good night.
It’s nice, but it’s not even close to original. Good driver, not investment material.

Oh, I would drive it either way. One of the things that bothers me most is the amount of low mile cars on BAT that were never truly driven for pleasure. They’re like toys that were never played with. Sad.

Yeah as far as originality there are a lot of red flags to me. While a decent looking car, its already near the top of where I would put its value. While to most the not stock stuff doesn’t bother people, but here is the stuff I see wrong with the car from just the pictures (and this is looking at it with a basic concourse level for what I am looking at).
Its a very early 69 car with the 09B build date so the front seats and rear spoiler are incorrect. Of course the orange houndstooth is wrong. Does look to be a factory SS and RS car with 12 bolt rear end and multi leaf rear springs. If all that hose on the drivers side inner fender is for the headlights then its routed wrong. Its supposed to be on the inside in a space between the inner fender and outer fender. Running the wrong valve covers and the PCV valve is on the wrong side. Intake is incorrect, but most of the front bracket look correct. The ignition wiring has been messed with as it should not have a ballast resistor on the firewall. These cars had a resistance wire from the factory, car was probably converted to HEI and then back to Points which then a ballast resistor is usually then needed. Not a factory console w/ gauges car. Might have been a console car but the fact a fuel gauge in the dash still is the giveaway. The shifter handle and ball is incorrect. Also missing the rocker trim piece that went with the exterior bright work option. SS gille emblem is mounted one row off (too low). The Camaro emblems on the fenders are mounted lower than I have observed on know original cars, but most of those are later in production, so these could be right for an early car, but I think the fenders have been replaced at some point. One thing I dont see in the trunk pictures are the “cocktail shakers” they were big oil filled spring dampeners that kept the rattling down on convertibles. They are needed as otherwise the car will have alot of cowl shake that will ruin the car over time. There is one at each corner but you cant see the fronts without tearing the fenders off, but the rears are easy to spot and not seeing them in these pictures is a bad sign.
Like I said this is just me looking at a first gen with my restorers lenses on as I come across alot of claimed “original” cars and they are far from that and hate seeing people get took on their first gen C amaro purchase.
