Default 1979 Berlinetta

Good Morning, Names Rob live in Eastern Oregon. My son and I just picked up a 1979 Camaro Berlinetta from a local guy. The car came with a factory 350 and a TH350. I have cleaned the front tab on the block and verified it has the original engine in it, an LM-1 or should that be lame-1, haha. The car is a father and son project that he now ownes. The car's exterior is white and interior is camel. She originally had A/C but the compressor and the soft lines were pulled. The condencer and the in dash parts are still in place. The car is a Cal built vehicle so it still has the AIR and EGR in place.

So far I have had to replace the radiator as the car overheated on the way home. The fuel tank is leaking at the filler neck which is the next project. The headliner of was missing the cloth so the foam would separate and stick to your hat or head, arrrgg. As a low buck quick fix we pulled the headliner. flipped it over and painted it, then reinstalled. Here is a picture of the best when we looked at it.

Welcome! Looks pretty original. Was it a T top car once, or presently with tops painted too? I see a lighter white that almost looks like the shape of the T top??? Or is it just the lighting I see?
Good to have another Oregonian here too!
