Have a question on a couple choice options on buying a ‘67 camero. One option is a camero that has been restored for $31k. The other option is a camero needs restored but has had some good work on it. (They asking $18k) Just wondering if doing the one that needs restored worth the time and money and will probably be at the same price as the one that is restored. Know I could make it how I want restoring the one but with life and kids time is money too these days. Will take any advice and have included pics and descriptions.

 

That is a great price at big C auto wholesale, for a 97 rs Camero in good condition. But this one looks like it needs a lot of work, which is ok, if you have the time and money.
Make sure you drive it at least 20 miles and everything works including the windows, I just spend 32 hrs repairing my roll up windows, had to replace the rollers and felt trim.

The 67 is the first year and Chev took some shortcuts, and not until you get in to it, will you find them.
On the other hand, a good paint job and body work can run between $15,000-$20,000 depending on the metal. Think you EPA.
I don't know about your State but some States have sale tax on autos from dealerships, even classic car.

Let us know how it goes.
PS Make sure you check the Vehicle ID. Numbers

thanks Robert! Appreciate that. Yes thinking I could get into more money rebuilding the other one compared to the one at Big C auto. I live in Oregon so no sales tax here. It’s in Michigan, so probably would have to have it shipped out. What year do you have ?

 

First you guys gotta learn how to spell Camaro

$31K is a good price if that's not a scam ad and you'll be in it right away without all the headaches of a resto that unless you can every bit of the work yourself will probably cost you more in the long run on the other car.

 

I have a 67 Camaro RS resto clone. The guy I bought from said it was 90% compete., but I have spent 3 months fixing has mistakes, and I'm still not finished I hope to 90% by June of next year. But she is pretty.

 

They are all going to need something
I would trust your own restoration before someone elses
The blue one might be full of mud (maybe not)
Drive them both and buy the one that drives the best
Possibly look further, they are everywhere
The C in Camaro should be capitalized as well
Like Corvettes, Camaros are hard to sell and easy to buy

 

OP, whatever car you get, look at it in person first or hire a qualified appraiser who will provide a very detailed report and pictures. My $.02 is you will be time and $ ahead buying a "done" car. With that said "done" will still require some work as some things will likely be sketchy.

For trucking, I use Montway
