I like the color, in 1974,my Dad and I passed on a 1966 Corvette convertible in that color.
Yeah, one of the great mistakes. It had just been repainted, a real pro job, I did body work in those days and it was straight. My Dad rejected it because it needed a valve job. Could have bought it for $2000.
Unfortunately I don't have any online pics, in 1972 I had restored a 1955 Chevy Belair 4 door. It had the stock radio, not working. I found out when I went to fix it, there was a separate amp behind the right side of the dash. Both the head unit and the amp had tubes. In those days lots of stores had tube testers and a good assortment of tubes. A few new tubes and I was listening to glorious AM radio, where if I was lucky I would hear one or two listenable songs. One being "You're So Vain" by Carly Simon.
I really like cars, just no room or budget for them. I have a 2010 Kia Soul +, which I bought new, it has only 22,000 miles on it. I had a Doug Thorley header on it for 4 years, until the welds started breaking at the flange. It had been ceramic coated poorly, so after warranty hassles and charges for recoating it, I just sold it.
" I still need some pieces like the screw cover on the inside passenger door handle along with a console door.Mine is puffed in the front really bad..I have a blue one and I was hoping to trade someone with a black one but if I can't find one,I can have one made for some ridiculous price.

That takes balls to maintain a white interior and have it look that good!

Cougars were more expensive and with that had higher-end interiors.The tricky part about restoring Cougars is finding aluminum trim parts in good condition, as most are not made in reproduction.
You can nearly build an entire 1969 Camaro just using repro parts and there are guys selling valid VIN numbers for a price. A rough 69 body with a VIN w/o engine or tranny generally is at least $5000 and maybe closer to $10,000 assuming there is a valid VIN to build around.
Beautiful car. I never did get why GM put column shifters on some of the Camaros.That's a 69 right there..I had a 69 Rally Sport back in the mid 70s for a while.
