I past by this last weekend and almost broke my neck, I turned my head so fast. The first generation Camaro is one of the muscle cars that I would consider owning, not necessarily this model year.
Anybody know what year this one is?

The exterior looks great. How's the interior? How much are they asking?
My mom had a 1968 Camaro with a 327 V8 -- many moons ago.

If the car is a true SS and not a clone, depending on the options it is fitted with I would say about $21,000-$27,000, and higher for a numbers matching car (original engine, transmission, etc). There are so many variables involved, pricing is not an exact science. A ragtop would be about $8,000--$10,000 more.
I know cars, especially muscle cars. Sure it looks good, but it could be a Dupont restoration. Last fall my brother and I were at a county fair is southern Michigan, some organization was raffling off a Duster 340, my brother was saying that sure looks good. Well, I pointed out under the hood, whoever "restored" the car had used rubber GARAGE DOOR WEATHERSTRIPPING for weatherseal. My brother was amazed because I was able to spot something like that.

1967 Is correct.
This one has a Muncie Rock Crusher (m22) 4 speed and a 10 bolt posi rear end.
It also supposed to have a 350 .
Seems to me the SS had a 396 so maybe it is a clone. The asking price is 26500$
I don't know what the justification for the price is. Maybe it's highly modified.....be nice if it had disc brakes and fuel injection
I don't know enough about it to really consider a negotiation, even if I got all the specifics. I didn't even look at the inside but something tells me it probably looks as good as the outside.

In my experience, getting original interior parts is more difficult than fixing up the exterior.
I don't know if you want to wish for a fuel injection system circa 1967. As I remember it, fuel injection was a very crude art in those days. A good old Holly four-barrel carb is probably better.
Have you looked online for the pricing of comparable cars? That might give you an idea of what would be a reasonable offer.
If it doesn't have disc brakes on the front that would seem to me to be a real disability for such a powerful car. But that could be changed -- but those parts will be expensive.

I was thinking he put in a fairly current crate motor equipped with EFI. That would explain the 350, that and computer along with upgrades would perhaps justify the 26k price tag but who knows?
Does anybody remember a movie called "Aloha Bobby and Rose"? Thats was some car in that movie!
It was ahighly modified Camaro.

I don't think GM offered any FI from the factory outside of the early to mid-60's Corvettes until about 1982 or so, and then it was just on the Corvettes.

you could get an ss350 from the factory(1967)along with the 396. z28 had disc brakes,so shouldn;t be hard to convert.for that money (me personally ) i would be looking at a 1969, meaner looking.

I grew to hate fuel injection systems from the late 1960s due to my experience with a 1969 Alfa Romeo Spider that I had in the early to mid-1980s.
It was a wonderful car in so many ways but the mechanical fuel injection system it came with was a recurring headache. I finally bit the bullet and bought a conversion kit (very expensive -- about $800 or $900, I think) to install duel Weber two-barrel carbs. From that point on, the car not only performed much better but was very reliable.
For those of you who may not know what these cars look like, here's a picture of a 1969 Alfa Romeo Spider (I'm pretty sure about the year but the 1966-69 models can be hard to tell apart). Mine was the same color. My Alfa had eight-spoke mag wheels (non-standard).
The Alfa wasn't a "muscle car" -- the engine was only 1779cc -- but it was a joy to drive.

Re; Post #18; That actor's name is Paul Le Mat. A very young (by comparison to almost 40 years later) Harrison Ford drove that very cool '55 Chevy seen towards the end of the film.

I suppose it's just like a bunch of things us guys are prone to doing...if some is good, more MUST be better, whether it makes sense or not!:wink::biggrin: Witness the horsepower races in lawn machinery in the last 8 years or so (and the litigation that followed) powerboats, etc., etc. I'm certainly not advocating it necessarily, but it seems to be one of the ways we measure uh, "progress".:confused2::frown::wink: Heck, my diesel Benz only has some 140hp, and that's enough to get me in trouble.:ashamed::laughing:

The '69s, especially the RS/SS convertibles, are in my opinion one of the most attractive cars that Chevrolet ever produced.:licking: Obviously quite collectible,too!$$$$:thumbsup:
And as for a dream shop:licking::thumbsup: , it's on my (very slowly acquiring it) list. It takes a horrific amount of time, energy, and money to do, but one may as well start somewhere..:smile:

This car looks good, you should have heard it, I can't describe the sound.
I saw it at the store while filling up I was drawn to it like flies to a s**T pile. The owner was anxious to raise the hood...and I couldn't wait to see what was making that resonance.
According to the owner, it's not a clone but he put a big block....BIG-BLOCK in it.
I doubt that you can get 650 hp from this but you wouldn't care when you step on the pedal.

As long as were talking movie muscle cars lets not forget the Bandit. I have owned the TA 6.6 since 1986. Had it repainted and did not get the screaming chicken, gold pinstripes and Trans am decals reapplied. Has the original Hurst T-tops. Eastbound and down. 10-4

I know this is an old thread, but I wonder what the guy was asking for the car back in 2011.
It was at Cooper Rd. and Cripple Creek Rd. in Plant City.
