Feeler: 1967 camaro with ls1 in CA

[dlouie87]

I just finished college and I know I just dont think I have the time and $$$ to finsih this project. Especially when I need a car for to get around in for right now. I'm not looking for trades but I bought this car from the original owner in Sparks, NV.

the original frame has 7X,XXX miles on it. There has been over 100+ hours in this car and I have most of the parts.

Heres the list of new parts/labor done. I'll try to name everything:

Shell is painted jet black with a bumble bee stripe in white (NO RUST) ($3500 for paint)
Stock 10bolt with whatever gears came in there... i haven't checked yet
2'' cowl hood, rear spoiler, front chin spoiler
LS1 with 4l60e from 02 camaro with 70,xxx miles
LS1 conversion harness and ECU reflash
Auto Kraft oil pan -
Ricks stainless fuel tank for fuel injection with fuel pump, brand new return lines, etc
AFCO radiator with electric fans for LS
Hooker headers
LOKAR stainless steel throttle cable, shifter assembly, rear parking light, gas pedal
Trunk battery relocation with wires and red top optima battery
BRAND NEW Wilwood front break set up. 13'' rotors with 6 piston calipers.
NEW Wilwood brake lines and black master cylinder
NEW front and rear glass and I have all the chrome trim with new clippings
Subframe painted/coated
All new wiring under the front dash to the rear.
All new bulbs in the rear lights
got the original seats (front and rear)
new door panels, and handles, strikers, etc
I have the grill repainted with new xenon head lights/parking lights with h4 wiring harness
has new weather stripping and rubber bumps
new heater box and motor
I-roc steering box
new energy suspension poly urethane bushings
Fat mat sound deadener (100sq ft) already did the floor
New carpet in a box


I also have 2 boxes of parts.

Basically all you need to make this into a running pro-touring car are some new suspension parts, gauges and 18'' or bigger wheels (due to the big brake kit). Also needs just one drivers door glass

I attached some pictures and added some links:












I hate to sell it but I need money for grad school in Jan. The car is located in northern california.

Price lowered to 16.5

is the asking price a little high? I dont know how to value this car with these mods.

let me know what you think is reasonable or if i should change the sales price....

I know one thing with these cars, you are going to ALWAYS get less money for it than what is put in.

i dont want to.... but i will if i can't figure out a plan to get this thing running in 2 months.

I might have to park it in the street but i'm scarred of people stealing it.

Put it on jack stands, at least they couldn't roll it away. Unless you'd have to move it often.

I guess...

ok, I was talking to some people. that asking price is a bit high since they said it's not drivable. I could just get it drivable and sell it for a little bit more

Why not finish it and drive it till you get another set of cheap wheels? I would hate to see you sell a car you have worked so hard on and is almost complete. Maybe talk to a local friend,member,or someone about rent a spot to keep it for now. Just my thoughts and your talking to a guy that has a 72 Chevelle and his soon to be wife has a 67 C10 and she knows neither are going anywhere period and I am getting married Saturday!

I'm trying to budget everything out. I just dont think it's going to let me.

18's wheels/tires, rebuild rear end, gauges, etc.
