FYI ...
When researching your 32 ... do not put a lot of faith in everything you hear. ... Fact is ... people LIE ... or have their version of the truth.
I built a 69 Camaro some years back. It was a car with no engine, no transmission and no rear end. All the glass and interior was gone. It was a stolen and recovered vehicle. I had to put a junky rear end under it to load on my trailer. I installed a Big Block Chevy ( 454 + .030 ) , a Turbo 400 and 9 inch Ford rear end. I did the body work and had a friend paint it. I bought a repro interior kit and installed it. I installed all new glass in the Camaro also.
I sold it to help get money to buy a house ( that I still own ) ...
A few years ago, I was 125 miles from my home and ran across my old 69 Camaro at a cruise night. It had changed hands a few times since I sold it ... but the current owner told me how he pulled it out of a storage shed and built it himself.
I know it is the same Camaro ... I used the Pace Car interior kit, drilled the hole in the rear panel for the cut-off switch ... and installed the MSD. No doubt it was my old car ... ... But he will tell you how he built it
And 10 grand for a 32 Cabriolet ( body only ) in 1979 ... would be like 40 to 50 thousand dollars now ... I know ... I sold a running steel 32 Hiboy roadster for a little less ... and everyone said I raped the new owner ...
