WTB previously owned 69 C3 Coupe
Had a 69 350/350 w/ac, 4spd, p/w, p/b--car very unusual because it had a 73 frt on it w/original 73 style rear flares and 73 exhaust tips. Last register in NC. Saddle tan interior w/non factory dk chestnut brown metalic outside color-was originally white. Anyone who can put any light on where abouts greatly appreciated. Super nice car when sold. Like to have chance to re-purchase.
Thanks!!

Probably better if it's not the one since the one I'm thinking of was being corrected.

Good luck with your search, I'm all too familiar with the sentimental value we all attach to our beloved cars. I bought and sold a 1968 Camaro SS/RS twice and almost bought it back a third time as a result of sentimental value.
With all of the parts that have been changed to resemble a 1973 it will be difficult to find without a VIN or even a starting area to look. I would imagine that the average guy would simply mistake the car for a modified '73.

That's weird. I bought back my 67 Camaro twice as well. Bought it in 73 and sold it after I had problems with the tranny that I didn't have the money to fix at the time. Bought it back a week later and repaired the tranny myself. Sold it in college, in the mid 70's, because I needed some money. My grandfather found out about it and loaned me the $300 to buy it back. (He knew how much I loved the car) Still have it. It's the one in my avatar.
Looking for that needle in a haystack will be tough, but the journey will be worth it.
Hope you find it.

Hi, you didn't say if it was a vert, but I remembered seeing one that sort of fits on eBay.
Item #220673349211. Seller is Bruce, and his phone is listed. Think he wants about 12K.
Wouldn't that be a hoot! Good luck in your search.

Bidding has ended on that car already; I don't think it is the car the OP is looking for as the one on Ebay was originally LeMans blue. Nice try though; the search continues..................

no--just a stock style 73 nose--another thing--everyone probably has known a car that just seemed to run a cut above the average. Some engines just seem to be a notch better and this one was one of those. Got rid of it because wife couldn't drive 4 spd. Man, did I make a mistake on that one!!! Things we do for LOVE??????? or maybe "Happy Wife = Happy Life"

Hope you find it.
I have one that seems to run fairly well for not having more then set of headers and a intake.guess I got lucky along with a solid birdcage.

As unusual as this car was as far as body is concerned I have been surprised no one has said they saw it--especially here in NC. Of course someone could have wiped it out in the past.???? It was a strong running car for basic stock 350/350 small block. Still hope someone says something????
