What a beautiful Camaro ... looks like it has been cared for.

1970 LS6 Convert unrestored complete real 160K plus juice

Wow... that sounds like a steal! </div></div>

If you are talking the green convert, not really. I inspected this car and it would virtually all new sheetmetal, firewall body mounts and at least a trunk floor and drop downs. It will be a very expensive restoration to say the least. A real car but with no paperwork it is going to be a large investment with lots of hidden rust underneath. The owner did VERY well and I congratulated him on it especially since he would have lost a LOT of money had he excepted my offer. There are several Yenko board members here who have attempted to buy this car over the last 2 years.

I thought it was pretty strong money, but its the most complete real LS6 convertible I've seen, even without paper.

I didn't realize the unrestored LS6 convertible needed a complete restoration.

Dave and I spent a lot of time looking over this car. It seemed like a great candidate to either restore or clean up/drive as-is. Had a lot of hard to find parts on it too. I'm fairly certain the owner put smog back on it for the auction which appeared to be good. Had the smog pulley and others. I liked that it wasn't spray bombed and fluffed.

The body work is what scared me. I think there was a lot of major hidden issues under that paint, many of which I documented during the inspection. The hood hinge was welded to the hood and both were painted green showing the paint was applied for the sole purpose of making it easier to sell. It was definitely a good restoration candidate but it would have needed everything and been a very costly restoration to do it right. Bottom line, it was a real car and a good car just very expensive when done but to a collector that is not always the focal point.
