Timmy, I forgot to ask....where in France are you?

I have been to Strasbourg and the countryside was beautiful.

Edit....it looks like the car is from France, but you are in CT?

Default 1969 Camaro SSRS from France

I live in Trumbull, CT

I found my 69 on the Teamcamaro.net site.

I bought it from a Guy in Meriden, CT who was selling it for the Widow, of the Owner who came to the USA on a work visa from France.

He was here with his Family and got Cancer and passed away.

He brought the Camaro from France and was building it for some kind of Racing, some of it I had to undo.

That was September of 1999 when I bought it,
it became a "Back Burner Restoration" - Did not touch it for about 13 Years, I finally decided to get going on it Before it became a "Tribute" car to my Son's Dad !

Took about 3 years Complete, on the Rotisserie for about 15 Months.

And I did read an article in Hot Rod about a guy in Maine that had a 69 from, I thought it was Taiwan/ Singapore, Same Options as mine and Factory A/C.

Like when you could buy an Opel GT or Capri from Mercury type of thing, only our Cars Overseas.

Timmy
