I won't touch the paint or the food. No need, I don't care if it looks like that. It'll be kept inside. Car runs as if today and stops. I had an old set of ralley wheels sitting around with good tires on them from an old chevelle. Floors have zero rust in them abd I'll probably do an interior kit on it, which I'll put in myself. As far as rust, the quarters need done sometime, but that can wait. Roof is solid without rust. Been inside the last 15 years. I'm sure 6,000 is more than some would pay but our body guy said at 6 it'd be about fair. Don't come across one with steering brakes and air 100% complete

If you get the car, make sure to keep yourself a photo diary of everything you do. You'll appreciate it in the end. Wait, there is no end, but you'll enjoy showing it to others who ask about your car!

Ended up buying the car for 5,500. Walked away from it and a couple weeks later he called back. So I will be picking it up Sometime this week. Does anyone now the best place to get a good deluxe interior kit? I know they will all be about 1200 for a complete kit, but just wanting a good quality. thanks

Congrats on the buy. You paid good money for it.
Tip for the engine, get a good battery, remove the spark plugs, and spray WD40 or oil into the cylinders and crank the engine over with the throttle wide open.
Crank until oil pressure comes up and continue cranking for another 30 seconds in 15 second bursts with a rest in between. This action will pump oil through the crankshaft and lube the rings for less friction making the real start-up easier. Then recharge the battery.

As suggested, make a logbook/album of the Camaro, keep every original item since this is a matching Camaro. Getting the Camaro to run for a daily driver is an excellent idea. She has her patina and will get plenty of respect from onlookers.
Can you get the fourth chrome modular wheel to complete the set?

Got the car running, needed a new fuel pump and condenser and points. RUns great, I plan on going through the carb and cleaning it and rebuilding it. Need a new radiator in it already but glad to see that its running.
