Owning a numbers matching `69 camaro we see the same in the finishes....many camaro`s left the factorys in pretty bad shape as far as finishes......but some of the intriguing questions are if you guys that are restoring keep note of any crayon markings on firewalls, rear axles and so on...even pics of it would be better.
