Restored 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS396 Goes Back for a Helping of Day-Two Goodness

Mike Angelo’s shiny Tuxedo Black 1969 Camaro SS juxtaposed with the shabby paint of the ballyhooed barn finds of recent years led me to a surprising conclusion: Shiny paint looks better than shabby paint. That comes as a bit of a concession given my infatuation with original paint barn/garage/field/shop/treehouse finds. Barn finds typically reveal an exciting story of the hunt, discovery, and acquisition of a forgotten or rare muscle car. Not a second thought is given by the real car guy as to the dilapidated and threadbare condition of the unearthed muscle car.
