Need a little price help
 

I can pick up a 68 Camaro locally. It is a base car 327/powerglide from California, never rusted, never damaged, nice original interior, original weatherstrips, original glass, original never painted supernice trunk, replacement engine, and a barely decent repaint in original color, shows a little less than 100k miles. I have no idea what i want to do with this thing, but an original never rusted never hit car seems to be worth at least 10 grand? Any opinions? Keep in mind I live in the snow/rust belt so a clean car is at a premium., Thanks

Clean cars are bringing a premium everywhere, not just in the rust belt. 10K sounds about right to me. m

BillD, You said it has A replacement engine but was A base 327 with PG? If you do decide to purchase the car and want to go back with the correct engine, I have A 68 327 210HP engine from A camaro that had the PG tranny. It needs to be checked out and rebuilt but I do have the heads,intake,and block with guts. I sold the car and the guy didn't want the engine, said someting about A 502 crate engine [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]. Ten grand is not A bad price for A clean straight car either. Good luck!

Re: Need a little price help
 

Thanks for the offer on the 327, but I actually have a good dated block, heads, manifold and carb sitting around. But, if I do anything with this car it wouldn't involve putting the correct motor back in. I don't plan on hacking the body on the car in any way, but have absolutely no problem changing the driveline in the car

Re: Need a little price help
 

Bill, I just bought the same car basically, but it already has a 94 LT1/4L60E in it and has been converted to 4 wheel disc brakes. It need some more tweaking to be truly road ready, but it's a rust free CA car with a new paint job(not show winning). I paid $10K for it and I think I got a great deal. Your car sounds similar and I would agree with the 10K price range.

Re: Need a little price help
 

I agree. Untouched cars are bringing bigger bucks these days. I paid $12K for my Camaro. It is essentially the same car your talking about. Only difference is my Camaro has the original motor, and 81K fewer miles. (haha) I get just as many questions about the base line Camaro as I do the frame off Corvette.

Re: Need a little price help
 

I think all the guys are correct about the 10G price sounds like a pretty nice car.doesen't hurt to try and bargain a little to try and save a buck though if 10G is the selling price.I am in Texas and the price is pretty much in line with the prices here.

Re: Need a little price help
 

Hey Mossport I too have just about the same kind of car. Only mine is a 2004, a Toyota Corola, and it is a 4 door. Oh....and it has 3400 miles. I think the sticker price is around 15K though.

Re: Need a little price help
 

BillD, i also live in the snow/rust belt. I have seen turn key 67-69 Camaros w/sm blk,10 bolt,and no power options with body filler in this area bring 12-14K. 10K for a car as you described looks to be a good price.

Where is Rick? Another Bowtie Nuts has just gone down Day Two Ave!

Nice work. Get those Wheels and tires on the Camaro asap! Also, how about some pictures of the new Camaro.

Re: Need a little price help
 

If anyone is actually interested I can get some pictures up later in the week. I have spent the better part of two days going to look at this thing and then going back with a trailer to get it. And now that it's here, it is a great car, but what do I do with it?

Re: Need a little price help
 

...you look at it admiringly..and wish that you have made a deal on that L78 car !!!! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif[/img]..just kidding Bill...I couldn't let that one go !!!

Re: Need a little price help
 

I'm thinkin it would make a great Pro-touring car....

Re: Need a little price help
 

Bob, I probably don't want to know, but what ever happened to that car? The L78 car I really want is my brother's 68 RS/SS fathom blue car we sold in 70 for a VW beetle. I found it sitting in a garage 15 miles from here, 10 years ago. I have been trying to buy that car for the whole time since I found it. I wonder if a nice running california camaro would work as bait in a trade for a non running L78 that needs a complete restoration?

Re: Need a little price help
 

Not sure where it went Bill....

Re: Need a little price help
 

This is where I am after 16 hours of wet sanding, buffing and a set of wheels and tires that were taking up space. I am happy with the way the car is, except for the drivetrain, which has to go. I think I have narrowed it down to two choices. The first would be a small block manual trans car with a vintage trans-am racer look, slightly lowered with minilite wheels and road race type tires. The second alternative would be a 427/425 type motor (haven't decided on manual or turbo 400 trans) but the look for the outside would be a 1969 copo look, with no badges, no stripes, in early drag race mode, rallye wheels, no hubcaps or trim rings, street slicks and narrow front tires. Any opinions? As some of you know I have a hard time deciding what to do. In any event the plans for this car do not call for cutting it up in any way.

Re: Need a little price help
 

I can't get the picture to post, as I think it's too large.

Re: Need a little price help
 

one more try at attaching a picture

Re: Need a little price help
 

Looks Good here BillD. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Bill

Very nice, I'd leave as is.

Re: Need a little price help
 

Looks Great!

Re: Need a little price help (part 2)
 

I have located a 69 427/435 horse motor (aftermarket intake and carb) with a turbo 400, that I think I am going to use for the car. When I am done I think I will be in to this for low 20ish, and that includes paying myself back for the value of donated wheel/tires, correct power disc brake set up, etc. So the next question is, what is a very nice, never rusted, original interior 68 obviously non original drivetrain, camaro worth? I don't like to be upside down on these projects by alot on these projects? Oh, and while this is going to be a very nice car, I am not taking it apart and doing a complete restoration so the underside is going to be driver quality for sure. Thanks for the help.
