TimTaylor751647545500 Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 Any guesses on what the final number will be? An RS/SS Convertible is worth a lot and all, but if this gets above $20k, someone's got too much money. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Chevrolet-Camaro-2-DOOR-CONVERTIBLE-/121106763806#ht_1566wt_1006 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BStowers023 Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 The current bid is already more than what I figured it'd go for. I guess I'll make an estimate of $18,500? Although I wouldn't pay anywhere near that. If the right person sees it, I guess it could go for a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickey4271647545519 Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 I dont have a guess. But with it being a numbers matching rag top with a 396/4-speed combo, I'm not really surprised it's bringing that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 I guess I'm dumb on that as I wouldn't pay shit for that heap of a mess of metal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickey4271647545519 Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 There's only one thing that bothers me. The auction is out of NJ, the car is in AZ, and the car has a PA title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimTaylor751647545500 Posted May 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 Scroll down, he addresses that. Also, I love that the first question on the listing is complaining that the car was driven 21k miles in one year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2highpsi Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 I just don't see the allure of a car like this. OMG MATCHING NUMBERS!!!!.... Who gives a shit when it comes to a car that far gone? There will be nothing factory left of it after a restoration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who gives a shit when it comes to a car that far gone? There will be nothing factory left of it after a restoration. Someone will most likely buy it for the VIN tag and the drivetrain. Restore everything that's able to be restored and put it and the VIN on a body from someone like Dynacorn and thus they have a "restored numbers matching" car again.

Mr. Jones Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 A lot of rust for an "AZ" Car.. My first car was a 20 year old car that had lived there it's whole life. Took the exhaust off with a ratchet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
944s2 Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 I bet fully restored numbers matching would go for well over 100k so even if you put 50 into it you double your money at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They buy a car from just an original frame if it worth something. And sometimes those "frames" cost six figures $$. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And sometimes those "frames" cost six figures $$. I'm fully aware of the market. It just doesn't make sense to me. The guy who buys this thing to restore it and flip it, I get. It's the end user willing to pay a quarter million dollars for this thing that blows my mind. Like I said, a real original rare piece.. Sure makes sense. But seriously this will be a vin plate, block, and bell housing. Nothing will be original about it. Yet everyone will tout, matching numbers, blah blah blah. Oh well, I'll just just chalk it up with "hellaflush".. Yet another car phenomenon I don't quite understand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6 Speed S4 Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 I'd guess 16K ish. But I would never buy a car in that condition matching numbers or not! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrendanB Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 Heap. I'd pay nothing over 10k for that car in the parts it represents, it looks beyond repair that's for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Bastard Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 It would be a great find for someone to pick up for 5k, any more than that is too much IMO. As far gone as the car is, it is going to cost a small fortune to even get it roadworthy, let alone a full nut and bolt restoration. Cool car, just not worth what they are going to get out of it IMO.

IVRINGS Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 I'm blown away at the cost of this thing as it sits. I guess they guys that had these when they where younger now are at the age they can blow a lot of money to have the car from high school years that just don't have the time to do it themselfs.

I bet fully restored numbers matching would go for well over 100k so even if you put 50 into it you double your money at least. Exactly..... In the hands of a GOOD restorer, the car will fetch a very pretty penny being a complete numbers matching car. This will likely end up on an auction block and will fetch a very nice sum when completed. I've seen some heap Chevelles restored that I didn't think were worth the time, but with the proper papers and "numbers matching" parts, those cars fetched a mint and I learned a valuable lesson.... Something is worth what someone is willing to pay, and many people out there put a high value on "numbers matching" cars that can be collected.

BrianZ06 Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 I owned a 67 RS/SS Vert years ago and a few SS Chevelles restored them all. Lots of work and $$$$ . Would not want to do it now with the price of parts and labor. $ 15,500 my guess but who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianZ06 Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 Lots of rust on this one. Look at the trunk,dash,and floors. Frame ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
