67 Camaro Barn find/what's it's worth????

[benihana]

A buddy and I were in Wisconsin a while back and stumbled across this beauty! I was able to find out who the owner was, but want to know what a fair offer would be, either from me to him/him to me. The last time this was licensed was 1987, so I assume that it has been in hiding for 20+ years. I know nothing about the car other than what is in the pictures.

I'd say you're at least 1500 high, judging by eBay sales this year...

I'd say $2000-$2500 in that condition would be fair to both parties,lot's of work to be done there...

What does scrap metal bring by the pound nowadays?:lol: Start with something nicer!

That is kind of what I thought as well...I was thinking $1500 - $1800 would be resonable, but i wanted to get some others thoughts

a guy once told me it's worth whatever you'll pay for it if you want it.

Not sure on the price, but I grew up in Wisconsin and by the mid 80's everything was rotted out. Be very careful and check all the structural items. I lived there till '94 and up till that time they just poured pure salt on the roads anytime there was snow and ice--about 9 months a year:lol:

Nice find but check it out.

You must have lived somewhere near the bigger cities. Here in Lake Country we dump sand, not salt. Been that way as long as I can remember.

To the OP- not sure what barn find that town is in but man Id be looking for something a little nicer to start with. If it was a Z or heavy optioned car then maybe.

[benihana]

Thanks to all who have provided their thoughts and opinions on the car and it's value. To be honest, this would be my first car, and while it would be awesome to have a heavily optioned car, or even a 67 Z28, I am not looking to build a $75K car.

ASSUMING that the car is solid, with little to no rust (big assumption, I know) does that change anyone's opinion in what it is worth?

I'd still be looking for a cleaner example to start with,you'll be miles ahead...:yes:

Here is what I got for $1,000 in 2001...

I'd say 2k to 2,500 would be a good price

[Vince@Meanstreets]

black standard buckets, no headrests, butternut yellow, tinted windshield, center console, deluxe belts...looks like a standard car... no 4 spot

vin will tell you if it was a v8 or l6
i'd go 2k if its rust free.

look in the cowl and the underside of the trunk window corners and rockers.

IIRC, the rear sub frames tend to rust on these as well. Plus even though it might be in a barn in the country, it could have spent most of it's life in the cities.

I've asked about cars just sitting around and all too often they think they're sitting on a pot of gold so I wouldn't be surprised if it took some talking to get your hands on it. But who knows they might just want to get rid of it.

[benihana]

Thanks guys! Glad to hear my thoughts are inline with what you guys are thinking.

Class67 - Thanks for posting your 2001 pickup, it is great to see a comparison....any updated pics, I assume you are finished with it now?

Vince - The motor that it is in it now is a 350, and not the original, and thanks for the hints on where to look, I will definately check those areas out

Scorpner - I will check the rear subframe as well. I did talk to the owner, and he said that a couple people have looked at it, but no one has made him an offer, so I made him an offer of $1K, stating all of the things that I would have to do and the cost associated with them all.

I will be headed there again in early august, and hopefully he will take the $1K cash I will be waving in front of his face


If anyone else has an opinion or helpful hints, please post them

Thanks to all!
