I only wish I could afford it.
![]() As far as raising the price... people out here I California do it all the time with homes. A friend of mine just sold her home for $30K over the asking price. When you consider the rarity of this car and the fact that its an investment, I really don't see a problem with it. FWIW, the comments over at camaros.net were even more negative. IMHO, with a car like this if you are critcizing the price, its for one of two reasons, (a) you're jealous that you don't own the car (or can't afford it), or (b) you really have no clue what its worth. BTW, hey Jon, how is the restoration on Z/28 #1 going?

While I was at the Camaros at Carlisle/GM Nationals this year I stumbled upon an enclosed 5th wheel car hauler that contained a disassembled but complete 67 RS/Z. When I inquired if it was for sale I was told yes for $115,000. The puzzled look on my face prompted the guy to tell me it was documented as the highest optioned 67 Z in existance. Was it worth it? To many, no, but if I had an abundance of cash I would have bought it. Same with Jon's car, it is one of a kind. I would rather spend money on either of these than on say a Porsche or a Ferrari. It's all where your passion lies.

Dave brings up a very good point that relates very strongly to '67 Z's for some reason. The old "if I had the money" syndrome. I think I've been involved in more '67 Z sales in the past few years than most and I can tell you that the only cars that are selling "easily" are the project cars and I believe that is because most of the enthusiasts buying them don't have the money for some of the really rare/desirable Camaros and look at a '67 project from between $30K and $65K as a bargain and their ticket into the a big boys game. Conversly, there have been 4 or 5 number 1-type '67 Z's for less than $100K for sale for a year or more and not one has sold. Why? There are a number of big time collectors on this site that have all sorts of cars...how many have '67 Z's? Few, if any...Surely they can afford them??? So the '67 Z's just aren't everyone's cup of tea, particularly at the upper end of the scale. I'm not sure why, that's just how it is
![]() As for Jon's car, it is a truly rare peice and I have only heard of one other car that is purported to be lower miles and untouched (but I haven't seen it yet). What will it sell for? If he finds just the right buyer with tons of cash, probably what he's asking. The reason it didn't sell yet is no different than why the #1 restored cars haven't sold...there just aren't many '67 Z buyers looking at that price level.

Sam unfortunately, I am not a 67 Z owner yet. However someday I hope to be. I also have a soft spot for the 67 L78 Camaros.

-----That high option 67 Z ended up in the Detroit area owned by two guys we all know. It is presently being restored to a very high standard!..........Bill S
