69', Whats It Worth?

[dwilson]

Hey guys, Looking at this 69'...can i get some direction on what this thing might be worth. I know its worth what someone is willing to pay....but what about a cammed with supporting mods, suspension, wheels and tires, 06' GTO with 36k miles. Need some direction!

Thanks, in advance.

original X44 car, Turbo 350, It has 2" lowering springs in front and a coilover setup in the back

Check book value on the GTO. Then see what Camaros similar to that are selli.g for, NOT what they are listed for. Its really hard to put a firm value on it just from seeing pictures. (not that I am the expert on value, not even close....)

15-17k

[dwilson]

15-17k

this is exactly what I thought.

[MaxHarvard]

I'm guessing 10-12k.

[dwilson]

I'm guessing 10-12k.

REALLY, YOU THINK THAT LITTLE? WHAT MAKES YOU GO SO LOW?
SORRY FOR CAPS. I WORK IN AN ARCH. FIRM AND I WE USE CAPS ALL DAY LONG!

[GregWeld]

I'd agree -- it's not worth much -- it needs a complete do over.... And not trying to be harsh or a smartass here. It's just a very ordinary "another" 69 Camaro and there is no shortage of 'em in this style and condition. The buyers in this market are buying "projects" and there's not many buyers out there.... and lots and lots of sellers.

[Matt@BOS]

I think it also depends on how many of the little pieces that you can't really see in photos are reusable, and would just need to be cleaned up a little. If someone sees it and wants to use it as a driver, it might be worth the 15k, but everyone around here is going to look at that car and think of it as a candidate for a ground up build, where most of the parts on it aren't going to be reused, and can't be sold for much.

Well, in all actuality, it will be a drive and project for me. I wont be able to drop a ton of cash into it right way...and I really dont have the funds/skill set to have it torn down and complete DSE parts put back on.

My plans would be to first off, have the wheels and tires replaced with something a little more livable and esthetically pleasing. Probably some original style rallys. The paint is something i can live with for a while. not show quality, but it looks decent enough for the time being.

My first thing would be to get the motor run through and make sure its not going to break down all the dang time.

a year down the road, were looking at am mini tub....now...what all is required for a mini tub from what i have found...is.

1) DSE mini tub kit
2) the proper fuel cell if needed to clear 335's, is this true?

Anything else that is essential in order to have this done?

3) Front coil overs and A-arms....(eventually a replacement subframe...but not right away and when i have a little more cash to throw at it)
4) Big break kit

I know that i dont and wont have the funds to really put the right kind of parts in it and throw it around a track as hard as i can.....but i do want this thing to be a road king, where i can drive it anywhere i want. and not be worried about if im going to break or not.


Im really looking for some guidance here guys.....


do you think i is worth my 06 goat in a straight up trade...or should i ask for a couple grand my way?

Keep the GTO

[Blake Foster]

I'm with Greg unless you want to completly redo the 69 to make it somewhat as drivable as the GTO ... keep the GTO untill you find a cheep 69 that you can afford to completly redo and then you will have both

[bigtime]

Did somebody really put ladder bars on a 10 bolt?

Keep your GTO there are still builder camaros to be had for decent money.

[70rs]

Keep the GTO

Ditto. Keep the GTO. Pick up a project when it can be left in the garage and built as time and funds allow. Don't get "emotional" over the car. By that I mean look at reality and not "what could be". If you have to give up your nice, fast easy driving, reliable, comfortable, good mileage getting daily driver for a gas sucking, rattle trap, out dated, unreliable, uncomfortable money pit........ I just dont see the value. It seems like a comprimise all the way on your end. Keep the goat. :cheers:

[dwilson]

lol, well said my friends....my goat is not a daily driver, i am simply done with the car as far as mods are concerned.

I would like to get into a 67-69 and the only way i can do that is to get rid of the goat. Just want something different. Thanks for all the advice! Any if anybody is interested and has something that i might like. let me know!

Save the drivetrain from the GTO for the Camaro. The gto's are not bringing that much money, where i am at least. My oppinion.

yea, the GTO's do not carry as much respect as they should. quality built cars with great interiors.

though, now since they are pretty affordable, punk kids are getting them...running them ragged, and not taking to much care of them...definitely giving the GTO owner a bad rap for being a hot head driver.

These GTO's make great power and are super comfy to drive....granted the thang may be a tank at times. but pretty nice.

I just really want to get into the old muscle car scene.

...and a D-link too...which appears to be bound up on the muffler.
