Wow...I posted on the First Gen Forum about this ebay listing, seeking info and opinions, and they helped and referred me here...wow again...the motherload of info on 4K cars! And the cars on this forum are amazing.

I am a newbie in that I am actually a Gen 2 Camaro lover but have become smitten with "4K" cars. I was wondering as to opinons on this car and trim tag; anyone know the car or see anything that send up red flags?

Also, how difficult will it be to find a "restoration" powertrain (i.e.- correct casting numbers and dates) and how much should I expect to have to pay? This car supposedly has its original 12 bolt but only the original distributor and 1 head.

Before I even bothered to make serious inquiry with him about the car I needed to know if he is realistic on the price and, in my opinion, he is not. I would want the car as a roller with just the dist. and head and he is looking for 22,500...I think way too much...

I found a roller that needed full restorations and sold on epay in the last 6 years for well under 10K. And it was an RS/SS car.

He points to 2 auction results from Mecum in 2013 for 90 and 95K but they were condition 1 cars with professional restorations and original powertrains. I see this car, depending on the level of resto, as a 45-65K max value when done. Am I being realistic?

If I reached an agreement on price I would insist on the contact info for previous owners estate representative to verify the history before buying it. He claims the interior has never been out so there should be a build sheet.
