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.

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.

Appeal to the seller that you are going to finish his dream and not out to make a buck by reselling the car.

Re: [Chevelle-list] '68 Camaro
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.

Re: [Chevelle-list] '68 Camaro
Larry 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 (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.

RE: [Chevelle-List] 68 Camaro
I think it sounds cheap. There were a butt load of rustangs sold and there are still a lot around. Production numbers for the 67 and 68 Camaros don't come close and they are scarce as hens teeth. Sounds like a good deal to me. If you choose not to buy, please e-mail me off line with more details. I have a friend whohas beenlooking for one for almost two years now.

Not sure where you are at, but if the floors by the leaf springs, the shock mounts, and the trunk are good that would be a steal of a deal here.

Re: [Chevelle-List] 68 Camaro
Chad: 8-10 grand? How did you come up with figure? sounds WAY high to me. Larry (z)
Re: [Chevelle-List] 68 Camaro
cause Camaro's are higher priced than a chevelle. and 68's are one of the most populars. if original motor and such, I figure that price is in a good range. well, think about it, what would a 1968 Chevelle SS ( well can't be a SS cause they didn't come with 327's.) or malibu with the original 327. i figure 6-8. camaros are more expensive, and then add the RS option.

Re: [Chevelle-List] 68 Camaro
Value is subject to seller and buyer desires. Shopping around is the only way to be familiar to what is available and in what range. The following website allows you to put in a specific make, model, year, price range and sort capabilities. It's a bench mark and regular comparing develops what's available and at what price. It really comes down to what are you willing to pay for what condition.

Re: [Chevelle-List] 68 Camaro
Camaro's are expensive as hell - expessically the RS and SS. I like RS better :-). I'll have to say, if there is no rust, a matching 327 motor, Wonderful interior, 1 dent on door, it is around 8 - 10 grand. - Original Message - From: H W Wilson To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, October 06, 2002 10:24 AM Subject: [Chevelle-List] 68 Camaro I've found a `68 Camaro and was wondering if you could help me out with what it is worth. The interior is in good shape both bucket seats in wonderful shape, console looks good. It is missing several pieces out of dash like ash tray and heater a/c controls. It looks like it came with factory a/c. The body looks in great shape one dent in door. The 327 is out of it right now to be cleaned up and painted, but i can't seem to catch up with the owner to see how much he wants for it. Also it is a RS not SS.
