Gotta love Azure Turquoise, and from Dana to boot. Car looks great overall, but moving the grille bowtie down a notch is a simple 5 minute fix that would do it a world of good. When exactly did you take possession of the car? That center fuel gauge looks suspiciously like a reproduction, and a lack of Camaro emblems on the door panels raises an eyebrow too. I'm thinking it may have been refurbished more recently than you may have originally thought. Not taking anything away from the car though. I'd love to own it myself.

The badges were replaced during the repaint in the eighties. Did I mention the car only has 67,000 miles on the clock. I have since fixed the bow tie, but because of where the were it was originally installed, it left a nasty mark on the grill. The door panels are original and the badges are in the door, you have to look harder. I notice right away after getting behind the wheel that the lens had been changed at sometime to center clock lens, but the fuel guage face is original. Not sure why the lense was changed.

....the dealer did a 427 swap in the late sixties or early seventies. My bottom line is, what would a car like this be worth for selling purposes?

If the swap was done as a new car and had paperwork, then the value would be significant. As a used car w/out any documentation, I think its value is that of any other nice non-original Camaro. While an interesting story from a well known dealer, I personally see little value enhancement by the later engine and trans swap. Nonetheless, it is a nice looking car.

Cushion-Grip wheel is cool... was it in it or did you add it?
