Car Prices From 1986
 

Just to make everybody a little sick and say: Man, if I could turn back the clock. Ask me what your car was worth according to a 1986 Price guide. I'll start it off and anybody else curious let me know.
1969 ZL-1 Camaro top price listed? $17,000
1970 LS6 Chevelle Hardtop top price listed? $6,600
1970 LS6 Chevelle Convertible top price listed? $9,000
1969 Nova SS L78 top price listed? $5,000
1966 Biscayne top price listed? $4,100 (That one's for you Motown)
Others?

Yep, and the non-musclecar person in 86 would've said: "can they get that good of money for used cars"?

But to be even more sick, turn the clock back to the time I'd prefer to buy them; which is when they cost way less and were brand new in 1966-70.

Re: Car Prices From 1986
 

Our COPO Chevelle listed for $4436.50 CDN and the 9566AA package cost $649.00 CDN. I think the Canadian and US dollars were somewhere near par in those days. They just charged a little more for everything up here.

Re: Car Prices From 1986
 

The real question is .........Which cars that are available today at a low price will appreciate significantly in 10 or 20 years. There were a lot of special built cars done in the mid 70s and 80s that are selling for less the 10K today. What will they be worth in 2020?

Yes, I've been noticing those IROC Camaros are going pretty cheap these days!

In 1980 I traded a 1977 Trans Am ( 4 speed - 400) for a 1970 SS Chevelle, LS6, M22 with a 4.10 posi...and get this, I got $500.00 to boot.

Ron,

If you get a chance could you look up '67 Z-28 and L-78 Camaros please?

Bill,
It is interesting to see that the older you get the bigger your cars get [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Mark,
Just a plain 1967 Camaro Z28 is listed at $13,000 top price. On the L-78's, which year and would it be a coupe, convertible, Pace Car, SS, RS, Z28? I know the 69 had a BB pace car but I don't know about 67? Can you narrow it down a little for me?

Re: Car Prices From 1986
 

Sorry Ron, I should have been more specific. I wanted info on the '67 L78 Camaro Coupe.

Wow, $13,000 for a '67 Z - I'll take a dozen please!

Thanks again,

Mark,
For a plain 67 Camaro L78 Coupe it is $9,350. Add 10% for Rally Sport and/or SS options. Just a plane Indy Pace car it's $12,000 and a plain convertible it's $12,000. Same applies for RS/SS options.
BTW, I checked prices 2 years later. A plain 67 Z28 was now $19,000. The plain L78 was $18,200. The pace car was $17,000 and the Convertible was$17,000. Now you could add 20% for RS/SS options and 30% if you had a convertible or Pace car L78. (If there is such a thing, I don't know I'm not up on those year Camaros)

Mark,
No problem. I'm still kicking myself on those L79 cars. Both were black with red interior. One was SS the other just a plain Nova. The SS I believe is still in Minneapolis area. I think I have her name around here somewhere. The plain jane nova was a low mileage(23,000?) ex-drag racer. Supposedly raced from 66 to 70 and then parked. I was told Vince Emme (maybe a member here?) had that car at one time along with a SS and Wagon L79. Car was sold to Joe Grom and Joe sold it. I don't know where it is now. It came with all kinds of NOS moldings and the interior was mint. Anybody know what happened to it? I heard it was converted to a SS.
