Hi Guys,

Maybe you can help. My sister-in-law has a 1969 Camaro RS/SS. Her husband was the second owner, bought it from a friend back in the early 70's. He was a mechanic and it his pride and joy, maintained perfectly and garaged since new. They only took it out to cruise around on holidays. It's a really beautiful car. It is all original, paint, top, all numbers match, all original documentation, 68,000 miles. It's a 350 V-8, automatic. It even has a factory 8-track player in the armrest. He thought this would be retirement money someday.

He died of a brain tumor 4 years ago and she is just now ready to think about selling it. She lives in Pennsylvania and doesn't know what to do so I'm helping her. I live in Florida so I've called some dealers, they get pretty excited to find one like this.

I want to help her get the best price. I know that we should find someone who wants the car for themselves instead of selling to a dealer who will give her less than it's worth and charge a new owner more than she would.

If you have any suggestions for me on where to post this or who to call, or if you have connections you can pass this on to, it would be very greatly appreciated.

I put up a quick little webpage at www.philzulli.com/camaro with more pictures and details.

Thanks guys! I love them old 60's muscle cars!

Thanks, I'll check it out....

 

Phil, I called and left you a VM to inform you that you might want to look at
Cars-On-Line.com and see how some of those camaro's match up to this one...This one looks great though..I have just started looking for a numbers matching 69 z/28 and this post caught my attention...

I'm only guessing, but I would say the asking price should be somewhere in the low to mid $30,000.00

Thanks Eddie. I really appreciate the input.

My feeling is around $40,000. I need to find the end-buyer, or a dealer with the right clientel. There can't be many like this one left.

 

For a car like this you should give Jerry MacNeish at http://www.z28camaro.com/ a call. He is one of the most respected appraiser for 1st gens. If you spend the money to have him authenticate it you could open it up to big dollar buyer and sell it fast. There is no doubt in my mind his authention could add 10K to the value of the car but if he gets there and anything is not right you wasted your money.

 

Thanks Gorn.

I really appreciate the help that the members of this forum have given me. All the best to you guys!

 

beautiful car, unfortunately the classic car market is bad right now, better to hold onto it if you can. i saw two perfectly restored matching number 69 Z28's go thruogh action recently. couldn't sell them at 45k, could have fetched 60-70k in 06.

 

Thanks for the reality check.
I know condition is the whole thing with this car. I think we need to have it inspected by a certified appraiser and validate its condition for long distance prospects.

 

Sell it..wait..???? If you think the economy is going to remain the same or worse, price it 25K for a quick sell and don't look back. What are today's crude futures at? $91.26 with a projection of gas possibly hitting $5.00 a gallon this summer. Latest financial headlines Moody's S&P may downgrade U.S. debt, so yeah....your call.

If this isn't a car you plan on keeping, it's not a could've or would've scenario, it's a should've before the market gets softer. Sorry folks, I know....it sucks doesn't it.
