Description of 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Coupe

Ho Ho Ho! Who needs a suggestion for the wife for this Christmas? I think I can help. My loss is your gain.
My wife purchased this 1969 Camaro for me about 15 years ago. We drove it home, I changed the rear break shoes, drove it a couple of times, started the restoration process, and then it sat.
I dismantled the car and had it taken down to bare metal and repainted about 7 years ago.
I purchased the supplies to redo the interior (seat foam, covers, carpet, headliner, shelf package, door panels, pillar post covers, hardware, etc. I'm sure I'd still have to pick up a few odd things here or there, but the big stuff is in boxes or already installed.
It's not a perfect car - its a project car in the middle of the project. I'm pretty certain the front fenders need some adjustment and the right rear quarter panel is not fully tucked into the rocker panel - you wouldn't even notice it if you weren't told. It was like that when I purchased it. I didn't care - It was going to be my daily driver. And who cares when you are driving a '69! The car has the original 307 drivetrain as best I could tell trying to match up the numbers (It's been like 10 years since I did that!). The engine worked great and with some reconditioning I'm sure it will hum like before. That was always my plan anyway. My guess though is if you're buying a '69 you already have a 396 or 454 sitting in the corner waiting to replace that little 307 ;-) The transmission needs a rebuild. Forward gears were great, but reverse was starting to make noises. Still worked, but it was going to visit the transmission shop once I had it put back together. Weld racing rims on the front and back. Previous owner planned to make it an SS look-alike and put skinny tires up front. Idiot. I planned to sell the rims and buy some straight stock rims.
The car is all metal. New full floorboards welded in, new passenger door, new front fender. The firewall is solid - not like many of them that have rusted away over time and cause issues. Odometer says 17,619 but who knows, right? Given floor pans were replaced, my guess is another "1" goes in front of that, and even that is no guarantee as with any classic car.

So why am I selling? The wife. First, she's been on my a$$ to finish it up or sell it for the better of 7 years. A man can only be so strong. And second, has anyone heard of honey do lists? Finish a basement, a bedroom, 2 bathrooms and a kitchen. She wonders why I don't have it all put back together?!

But the straw that broke the camels back was the purchase of a different vehicle which I'd rather put my time and energy into (once I have either of those elusive items.)
So this one has got to go. Merry Christmas.

$500 non-refundable deposit due upon close of auction. You have it picked up. I am more than happy to help get it loaded and all the extra supplies I have loaded up as well. I'll evn put a bow on top :-)

Couple of things to add, based on correspondence with others who had questions: The car came with factory air, but the compressor, condenser, etc. all need to be added back. The trunk is solid. I have the front grille as well as front bumper. There is no front windshield. As I mentioned I have most of the big items for the interior, but you will definitely need to still buy things to complete the car - no one should bid thinking that you are getting everything you need with a project car in this shape at this price.
