What is your budget Greg? [/ QUOTE ] I am looking for a project / roller for less than 22k. By the time I finish the restoration I will be into it for as much as some of these Z's, but I need to do it at a pace I can afford and budget.

Re: Project Camaro Z-28 Wanted
Greg:
If you find a 69 Z/28 with it's original drivetrain and documentation that doesn't need much sheetmetal work for under $22k, I would be quite surprised. The matching drivetrain and/or paperwork requirements are probably going to price you out of the project you're looking for. Just my $.02 Ed

Re: Project Camaro Z-28 Wanted
Ya, it's gonna be hard and would up the amount I could pay to around 25k depending on work needed. Hate to spend close to 30k and then spend another 10k on body and paint. When you add up all of the other needed pieces and machine shop work, trans rebuilt, suspension, correct numbers parts needed, you get the idea, now you are over 50k easy.

Re: Project Camaro Z-28 Wanted
You may be right... however I believe solid lifter, matching numbers, no excuses cars are going to hold their value...

Re: Project Camaro Z-28 Wanted
The market is just fine on documented, original drive-train cars. The guys who are complaining about the market seem to have non-matching, un-documented hot rods that missed the mark by a couple of years. If the market is bad, where are all of the cars that people are bailing on?
My suggestion to you is to buy a finished non-Z28 or lower your expectations given the price range you're after. Again, just my $.02 Ed
