I might be looking to sell my 67' camaro coupe locally, but I'm not sure what I need to ask for it. I love the car and am very attached so naturally I would like to think it is worth quite a bit. I would like someone to give me an honest opinion on what they would pay for this car! Here are some details:

67' camaro coupe
original console car(still Have it)
decently strait body:
has pin holes in the trunk pan
needs passenger side quarter(wheel well rusted)
all cab floor rust free
front quarters rust free very straight
driver door has small ding in the body line
primered in PPGdp90 rust prevent coating (flat black)
straight grill
nothing missing

350ci
only 75 miles since rebuild
bored .040 over
headers
edelbrock rpm air gap intake
holley 650dp carb
flowmaster exhaust
10-bolt rear w/3:73 posi rebuilt w/motor
TH-350 tranny(missing one top bell housing ear)
Hurst rachet shifter

Ralleyes all the way around

 

I would say 7 to 9 thousand maybe 10 i would have to see it have any pics

 

I'd go 5 or 6 tops, unless you have some compelling trim tag and / or protecto plate info. Since you don't have anything like matching numbers going for it, it seems like it's going to take $10,000 to make a $15,000 car out of it. JMHO - I hope you get what 1981zzz thinks because that's good for all of us!

 

thanks for the help. I was hoping for numbers around 5,000 so thats great. and I do have pics If you give me somewhere to send them.

 

Well, down here in Florida the Camaro prices are insane. Something like that being sold at a local dealer could easily catch $15-$20k! Non-numbers-matching cars are sold all the time at insane prices. When I was looking to buy a car a few months back I was getting prices like $16k for a non-numbers matching car in way worse condition than the car you're describing. Needless to say, I drove all the way up to South Carolina to buy a car at a fraction of the cost of Florida prices. Don't believe me? Check out a few of the local dealerships around here:

PJ's Auto World

Golden Classics

Classic Corvettes and Collectables

 

As a matter of fact, regarding my last reply, this is the car that I was able to talk the salesperson down to around $16k on:

1968 Camaro SS

It looks okay on the outside, but the interior was trashed. The whole dash was rotted and flaked off, pieces of the center console were missing, and it had a nice carpeted dash mat hiding god knows what. The rear quaterpanels obviously had so much bondo in them that they didn't even look straight, let alone feel straight, and the engine compartment was pretty dirty and rusty.

johnboy211: You should take that car down here to Florida, toss some SS badges on it, and turn a big ol' profit!

 

just to mess up all the above posts...lol

I found a 67 complete all original, straight body, no cracked windows, running (daily driver), plain, original 327 for $3000.

 

What a deal bartonedragracer....you stole that car from someone. Here in New Mexico you can't buy a first gen that has been sitting in a field being used as a deer blind for 3g's(lol, yes I kid you not! ive seen it)

 

There are still deals to be had, but since the announcement that GM would stop making Camaros, 1st gen prices have gone through the roof. I'm now back in the market and kicking myself for selling my '68 RS 12 years ago.

You can still find straight original plain Janes for under $5K. RS and SS will command more, but there are so many frickin' clones out there, be careful. 67's and 69's are easier to decode because most of the options were on the cowl tag. 68's had much less info other than body color and interior trim, so unless you have documentation (protecto-plate or build sheet) you're taking a big chance. (Unfortunately for me '68's are my favorites).

Most dealers will try to pass off clones as real SS's. Both purposely and because they don't know jack. Also be careful of people acting stupid and pretending to not know what they actually have. I recently passed on a what was presented as a '67 RS clunker. The cowl tags suggested it was a non-matching RS/SS 396 4 spd coupe. However everything else pointed to a small block RS. Although I couldn't confirm it (out of state online sale) I serious suspect that the cowl tag was changed.

As it is, I wouldn't pay over $12K for a clean unrestored car, unless it was a specially optioned matching original. Restored numbers matching SS coupe $20K-25K; convertible add $5K-10K depending on options; RS add the same.... depending on options.

As for rare cars? I've seen restored 67 pace cars (104 made) ranging from $25K-40K; 68-69 Z/28's from $30K-50K; and Yenkos for $100K on up! I even saw a complete but unrestored and disassembled '67 Z/28 going for only $15K.

Check the history. (Numbers matching cars command more, sometimes double the price.) And check the usual rust locations (bondo and a fresh paint job can cover a lot.... however within 12 months or less the "truth" will reveal itself).

And if anyone on the west coast is selling a 67-68 RS optioned coupe or vert.... (SS and Z/28 incl.) hit me up.

 

a numbers ,atching plain jane will go for 15, just so you know.

 

your not going to pay anything more than 7k for a car like you described. If i were you i would offer 7k for it. I bought mine, with everything in perfect working order. Nothing wrong with body.

 

I have had several calls on the car since I posted this topic. Of course I have had a thousand people call and say "Ill give you $500 cash right now!". Ha Ha I don't think so buddy.....go find a ford!

But the highest offer has been 3 grand, the guy came and looked it over, drove it...and said that he knew where there was a 68 ss chevelle he could buy for 3 grand, so he would not offer any more for a plain camaro! I sent him on his way...not because I think my car is worth a gold mine but because I hate when people come to buy something and downplay what you have!

I hope I didn't pass up a good deal! Plus I was really hoping for about 4,500 to 5,000......hope I get it!

 

As a comparison I recently passed on a 67 with power discs, 350/350 in decent condition (just a little signs of rust) that was going for $4500 near me. I really have my heart set on an RS, but if the right deal came along I'd jump on it.

I say hold out until spring and you'll get your $5000 for it.

 

throw it on ebay, you'll get 5k for it.

 

ebay doesn't seem to do "NOTHING SPECIAL" first gen camaros very well. I think I would probably get a joker who bid 1,000 bucks and think He just won a 67 camaro. Plus my car is in primer and that is a big NO..NO. It will be considered a Project car....and the word Project means....grease up and bend over on ebay....your sure to take a loss.
