Restoration costs - Camaro vs. Chevelle

[mrrec]

Mark:

No question - costs are similar. The exception, as mentioned above, would be paint as the Chevelle is a bigger car. There are so many variables: vinyl top, missing parts, etc.

The red 67Z is next in line (I think) after a current project. I'm still not sure about the block originality (I haven't taken it apart), but there have been no unpleasant surprises with the rest of the car. It was never a number 1 car as stated in the 80's ad (#3 at best!), but it is very correct (including spring tags).

Chevelle will cost more to do. Little more in paint, and a full frame to do instead of a piece of one. Larger under floor area also. How much more $$ depends on the quality of the redo.

Thanks Micky, I appreciate you sharing your experience.

Dave: Great to hear that you like the car. I knew it was the real deal and that it wasn't really molested over the years. It will be beautiful once it is done! Please feel free to email pics of your progress to me...I'd like to follow this one If I can help out at all let me know.
