I went to look at a '68 Camaro with a transplanted '68 L-78 from a Chevelle. ALL the GOOD parts were still on the engine and the car was a RS with tilt, gauges,custom interior, etc. Original SB car with a TH350 and a 10 bolt. Body was saveable, but not 'pretty'. (I had visions of doing a '68 version of a B/M car.
) The owner wanted $7k for the car and I didn't think I could come out on it so I passed and a friend bought it.
He split the engine from the body and listed it on e-bay. The engine with ALL the correct dated components (including the OE dated plug wires!) sold for $7200, and the buyer came to pick it up. The rolling car sans engine brought another $7k. Turns out it was also a "- -" paint car that looked to be Grecian Green, but was just a bit lighter.
I still have pictures of the car and they pop up on the computer every so often to remind me. Off in the distance I can hear Ron White and Jeff Dunham talking about me.
