Brings back memories. that was my first car. I picked it up for $100 in puke yellow. Had a cool feature I have still yet to see. Swivel bucket seats. Does this car have that option?

The customer is the original owner and want to restore it back to the original paint scheme. The paint is like glass, it's like looking in a mirror.

Sure brings back memories for me..
I ordered mine in Oct. 1975.. Black with White interior..350 auto.
and yes it had swivel buckets. they were great.
fantastic car...It was my daily driver for 18 years..
Also took it to car shows on the weekends.
Washed it 2-3 times a week.. painted frame...8 track deck..
My son then drove it when he got his license 17 years later...
We put 260K miles on that car in 21 years..original motor..3 trannys..
Finally lost it to rust... great ride.
I can understand why this fellow wants his restored.
Looks great.

thanx for posting
2nd car during most of this time was a black '75 Corvette coupe..still have it..!

DD Gorgeous!

If this customer wants an Ontario historic plate (free plus whatever the transfer costs) I'd be willing to hand mine over. This way he could have a 442 plate and enjoy the cheapest annual renewals going.

Thanks Dan - We're all in this together...

Next for me would be whatever Historic plate comes up next. As most know they're priced like part of the nostalgia at $18/yr renewal, and I'm sure not giving up about the only deal I have left from the gubmint.

As for Woodward - prob not. I'll be scrambling this summer to get my bucket list items of finishing my 7 yr "project" Baja boat completed and the Sting Ray looking/running it's best for "our" 50th Anniversary display at Carlisle.

No prob, Pete. Just tell the customer they'll need to see if it's possible to exchange a hist. plate first. I have no idea, but if it's OK - then it's theirs. The plates aren't perfect but pretty clean.

Great to see all the positive feedback on the car. Pete and the crew at Champion have been putting in a mega effort on it, and it turned out amazing. Huge thanks to them!!

To answer a few questions, yes, the color is the same GM code 74 paint on the upper, & yes it is a factory equipped swivel bucket car.

Paul, thank you for the offer on the plates. Let me look into what it would take to get them transferred, I might take you up on your offer.

LOVE that color and the clear is like glass! Pete's clearcoat is WAY better than factory, my customers always tell me that too.
