Re: [Chevelle-list] A Veteran
Leo, I saw that about a year and made it the tag line for my other e-mail account. In my opinion, it speaks volumes.

Re: [Chevelle-list] '68 Camaro
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 Dan On Sat, Sep 6, 2008 at 2:08 PM, Larry Hickman [EMAIL PROTECTED]wrote: Hey Gang I am looking for some input. I have the opportunity to buy a '68 Camaro, practically in my back yard. It is a project car that ran as recently as 3 or 4 years ago but inside stored for approximately 12 years or longer. Not the original color or transmission, originally 4spd, with a 350, needing paint and rocker panels, floor pan, inner fenders, but the rest of the sheet metal looks decent. Interior is mostly there, but will need new door panels and seats need recovering, along with headliner, carpet, package tray, etc. I have checked NADA, Collector Car Market Review, Edmonds and Gold Book, but still not comfortable enough to make a solid offer. Anyone want to make a suggestion or lead me to a better resource for pricing ? Thanks in advance. Larry
Re: [Chevelle-list] Chevelle-list Digest, Vol 62, Issue 8
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. ;) Larry [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: 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.

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 (FR) 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.
