WideOpenThrottle Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 I've been shopping around for a new toy and I found what I thought was a good deal on a 1968 Camaro that has a LS1 and 6 spd from a 2002 Camaro SS with 72K on the motor. all the body work is done and it's drivable. The wiring and tune is tune professionally. The car is solid. It comes with the interior but it isn't installed. The guy has put 350 miles on the car with no issues. The car does need painted and the interior put in. It has Texas Speed Cam, CAI, headers, Disc Brakes, and a tune... Dyno'ed at 380. And has all paperwork I know a few of your guys have searched for these I'm just curious how the market is on these drivable and how much when they are completed? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FourString Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 This may be one of those situations where it is worth what you are willing to pay for it. However, you could figure on ~4-5k for the swap, and the cost of a project condition 68 Camaro, and go from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crossle Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 I would expect to pay mid to low teens for it. Leaning more towards low teens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
everlight44 Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 I'd also guess mid to low teens since it still needs a paint job. Disc brakes are a huge plus IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WideOpenThrottle Posted February 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 That gives me a much better bargaining basis. I haven't seen any of these for sale this near completion. I've only seen the outrageous finished ones. He's Mid-high teens but possibly taking a trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kohones Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 I too wonder what hidden issues you'll have to deal with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wagner Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 Need more information: -Pictures of body (see how the panels line up) -Where is the chrome? -How much body work has been done? -What kind of body parts were used (old stock, new re-pop stuff)? -What kind of interior is included? -Is the interior original parts or new re-pop stuff? -Who did the wiring harness? -What kind of suspension is under it? Just looking at how it sits I would toss them a number around 12k. Clean first gen f-bodies are getting hard to find that are not finished.

Linn1647545492 Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 Is that AJ's old camaro? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMeanGreen Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 No, his first one was finished and fetched about $50k, IIRC. His second one is still being built and hasn't been sold yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WideOpenThrottle Posted February 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 -Pictures of body (see how the panels line up) -Where is the chrome? The chrome hasn't been put on, nor has the weather stripping. It comes with old original and new chrome. -How much body work has been done? All body work was done by a shop and was done well. -What kind of body parts were used (old stock, new re-pop stuff)? The trunk pan was done, had two small dime size holes, (Showed previous pics) in the passenger side floor so he did a one piece floor, and the passenger side rocker panel. No quarters were replaced or roof. -What kind of interior is included? The seats are original recovered and refinished and the rest (door panels, dash pad, carpet ext) is from TMI Products -Is the interior original parts or new re-pop stuff? The seats and headliner are original just refinished. Comes with old door panels but new repop stuff as well -Who did the wiring harness? Mayhem Motors in NC did the wiring throughout the car -What kind of suspension is under it? Has a 4 link under the rear and new OEM parts under the front with all new bushings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WideOpenThrottle Posted February 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 Need more information: Just looking at how it sits I would toss them a number around 12k. Clean first gen f-bodies are getting hard to find that are not finished. I've been searching for a first gen for a year now. Any time a decent deal comes up I'm out of state for it. In all honesty I need a solid roller. I have everything for one and that's how I stumbled onto this. I have a 383 CI with FAST System 11:1 compression Ross Forged Pistons Eagle 6" rods Dart Pro 1 230 CC Aluminum heads Crane .621/.631 custom ground solid roller camshaft Crane Gold Rocker arms with stud girdles Hooker Super Comp Headers with custom H-Pipe & true dual exhaust using Borla XR - 1 mufflers Built T-56 6 speed with Hurst shifter & Centerforce Dual Friction Clutch Baer Track Claw 13" rotors with PBR calipers Momo Corsa seats Autometer Carbon Fiber gauges kit Just nothing to throw it all into Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not Brian Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 His second one is still being built and hasn't been sold yet. and he was asking ~$36k for it, in pieces. I'd pay about $10k for something like this if I knew all the issues and had the ability to semi-easily take care of them.. but I've seen the asking prices on stuff like this range from $7k to.. well.. $36k.
