29,000 mile 69 Camaro Convertible

[njsteve]

Same thing with me. I sent him this email: "Why destroy an original car that is that nice? Why aren't you listing it for sale instead of cutting it up. I cant be the only one who would like to buy it. Cant you use one of those new Dynacorn bodies for your project?"

His repsonse was "Make me an offer"

Please someone rescue this baby!

This reminds me of when a member on here had an amazing low mileage original 6 cyl Nova. Everyone was telling him not to drop in a 427 and day 2 the car but no one wanted to step up to the plate and buy the car.

I agree this Camaro is a beautiful original car but who wants a Camaro with a 6 cyl??? Maybe Kevin Suydam can buy it for his collection to illustrate the other end of the muscle car horsepower spectrum!!!

What do any of you think this car should be worth??? Perhaps someone should buy the car and give it some real horsepower!! White 427 convertible would be quite cool!!!!

I think that is the current owners plan. I personally would consider starting with this car as a basis if I would building a prostreet convertible. Its a very solid basis and much of the build cost could be offset with the sale of the original parts off the car. Don't get me wrong, I understand the butchering side of the argument as well. Check out the other auctions. They look like they build a wicked 69. Would you rather the guy start with this car or a rusty RS/SS big block vert?

Looks like these parts were auctioned before without meeting reserve. Ended Auction

I'd rather he started with a clone then this car or a rusty rsss You have guys building clones with fake #'s ,tag ,paperwork etc and then you have guys taking #'s match ss or z28 and pro touring them why do they not just switch cars ?

My apologies.. didn't realize it went to a good home!!! Hopefully the white Camaro convertible has the same fate and not some 22 inch rims!!!

GUYS,
As you see from our website we build some pretty high end cars. We were on the lookout for a solid convertible doner and found the convertible you guys are talking about.
We wont use the repop bodys due to fit and other concerns. Also, they are not 69 camaros. They are repop Bodys that RESEMBLE 69 camaros. We wont use them. Period!
The twin turbo that was just sold on ebay was actually
the display car for detroit speed (dse). We purchaced it
because it was about as nice of a body as you could find.
All original panels... floors ect.. A great car to start with .
If you were spending $130,000 on a custom camaro or any other kind of car would you want a car that started out as a rusty piece of crap? Of course not!! We could go out and find a nice "ss" (as they all are nowadays) and only find out after we put it on the rotissary that is all mudded up with repop floors ect...
I know its kind of a sin but on the business side its the right car to make another twin turbo out of.
I had like 50 people ask about the parts and I emailed a bunch the first nite and had people telling me i'm crazy on the prices because "you can buy a brand new carpet set for 99 bucks " or " new A/C is only a grand !! "
thats why i decided to ebay the stuff....
I really dont like parting it out but maybe the parts can go in a REAL 396 car that needs it !!! It is a 6 cylinder car but it is a survivor too.
If sombody wants to buy it, call me. 59500.00
Why should i sell it for any less, so i can buy a "real SS" for 45000.00 only to find out is garbage under all that nice paint? I hope you see my side...
