Buying advice? 1970 camaro

[mxjunkie]

The car is not a z/28, rs, or ss. Just a sport coupe but I don't really care because i'll probably hack it up a bit and wouldn't want to do that to a special car anyway. What do you think of the price? I went to look at it, seems solid, little paint bubbling under the rear quarters, Int. in pretty good shape, only 10bolt non-posi rear end. But the best part is the motor, 383. Music to my ears! Seems to run awesome. Tranny has a small leak when it builds pressure and had a 2800 stall, shift nice. Good start or not for the money? 9k is what i'll give. He wants 9,750. The wheels don't come with it either because I don't want em, i'm going to put 20's in rear and 18's or 19's up fronts. Comes with the stock seats also, and the stock hood. Here's some picks. This will be my first camaro but i've been around muscle cars my whole life. Input please.

doesnt seem to bad even though hes taking the wheels and tires i think if he threw those in 9k wouldnt be too bad,,hows the rear rails as they are prone to rust on these years,,there is a 71 near me with a drag theme for 7k ..id bring cash and try to get him down ..seeing cash makes a guy think more..good luck

Get it! That's a fair deal for a running/driving car and it will look sick with 19s and 20s and there's tons of aftermarket support for those.

Thanks guys! I just emailed him with an offer of 8K, with some junk roller wheels and tires and told him he could keep the stock hood. But I wanted the stock seats as well as the touring cheapo seats he has in it.
Keep the feedback comming please. I don't wanna feel bad about buying it.

Rear frame rails?

There is a spot also just below the windsheild on the drivers side that somebody tried to glass up a rotting spot from a previous leak, kinda crept up into the dash a little also.

Exactly, ya never know till ya ask.

the rear sub frame rails are prone to rot out on 2nd gen cars at least in my area because of road salt getting thrown on them from the rear tires..if its a west coast or southern car you might not have to worry about it..good luck !!

The 2nd gen 70-73 Camaros are my favorite,I would buy it
