Thanks for the replies guys.
She claims to have a standing offer of $8500, if true she should probably
take it. Since it is not the convertible that I am really looking for (for my
wife) I think I will probably pass on this one because I think she will laugh
at my offer. Either that or I will save my money and buy a 2010 Camaro that
gets better mileage and performance both. Did anyone happen to read the article
about the guy who bought the '70 Challenger new (and kept) when he was in the
service and bought a new '08 Challenger that was in October Hemmings Muscle
Machines ? His comparison of the 2 cars makes a pretty good argument for
buying a new Camaro instead of putting $20 - $25K in an old one. But just in
case there is someone out there wanting to part with a first generation
convertible Camaro, with an original V8, let me know. ;)

Its really hard to put a price on someone elses junk (its all junk to
me, even my black car). I always work it out this way, if I were to junk it and
part it out, what would it bring me? Can I sell the motor/tranny for a few
hundred bucks? How about the fenders? Are the misc. interior pieces that are
normally gone/ broken there? What kind of price would the frame fetch me?
Believe it or not you can run into a couple thousand in just parts if you are
willing to sell it all individually and not sell it in one lump sum. I once
bought a 55 Chevy that was too far gone to fool with but it was complete. I
managed to sell everything off the car including the rotted sheetmetal. I then
sold the body to a guy that made a nostalgia dirttracker out of it. Anyway
maybe this will help.

I have a 68 camaro in near the same condition. It needs at least partial
quarters (both) and a patch in the driver side floor. And repair to the
tranny tunnel where someone hacked it for floor shifter. The rest is
probably usable as is. I already have subframe connectors, new springs (F&R)
and everything else to rebuild front end with discs. Also new windshield.
Entire interior is there but needs replacing from carpet to headliner. Its
an original 6cyl 3 spd car. A few months ago, I was gonna sell it and try
to get 3-4 K out of it. I weathered my financial storm and I've since changed
my mind about selling it , but at that time I thought that the 3-4 was a
reasonable expectation. My .02 FWIW.

I don't know, but I am looking for a 67 to rebuild if anyone has one.
Preferably an RS but will consider others. Looking to spend under $5000. Thanks
