Barn find possible value
 

I know there will be more questions to be answered, but wondering if someone could ball park a value for now best case scenario.

This 1969 camaro has been sitting since 1977 based on my discussions of the property owner as well as the most recent oil change tag still on the dash.

The Odometer reads 6269 miles.

I'll try to get more accurate pictures and I didn't know until I researched more where exactly the VIN tag was, plus it's sitting in a tight space where getting in the driver's side is not possible. I did get a picture of the engine bay tag which verifies most of what I'm able to tell about the color, top, engine, etc.

It LOOKS all original and a good friend of mine saw this thing being stored in 1977. I also know the individual who actually parked this thing in there in 1977 when it was running normal. Those close to the previous owner (on hospice now and I'm working on purchasing the real estate with this thing in it when she passes) and those around her are saying that the tires on this thing are the same tires that rolled off of the show room floor when it was purchased brand new.

I don't see much rust, if any, underneath.....the exhaust looks rusted from condensation, but pictures of one of the rockers shows not a spec of rust on it.

It's not an RS or SS or V8 and I know very, very little about vehicles in general, let alone classics, but assuming everything is correct and all is original, would any of you enthusiasts/experts have an idea on what kind of money this could bring best case scenario?

Thanks for any help.

I have complete access to the car and plan on taking more pictures today.

Historically 6's don't do great. The car will get a lot of buzz as an original car and a lot of people will think its cool but few people want to own it. The fact it is all original means most car builders will avoid it.

I would guess this is a 12-15k car. If it was even the base model 327 it would be 15-20k. At 15k it could be awhile to find a buyer. All it takes is one guy anytime you have something this rare it is hard to predict. Luckily its a 69, the most desirable year.

Also keep in mind your area will have some effect on the value. Here in the North survivors are rare but out west in the desert areas they are more common.

I doubt those are the original tires unless they were kept and put back on the car when stored, because the oil change sticker shows 99698 miles, which seems about right given the current reading (106269). That amounts to about 13k miles per year, again about right for a commuter car.

Thank you....I agree that out of all the models built that year, the 6 are the lower end models.

And a nationwide audience on ebay would probably be best if someone wanted to buy it.

Thanks! I think you're right....I wasn't sure if the ODO rolled over or not, but based on all that oil on the engine, it looks like she has some miles on her for sure.

This car is in almost the exact same condition as a vert I watched go at auction last summer for 20.5k Im not sure the car I saw at auction was worth that, some people get caught up in the auction game and hate to lose.

the 6 cycle cars don't have much value an while they are kinda rare I seen a 6cycle for 24.500 but it will probely be there for a long time an was in much better shape all redone ,it would make a great resto mod with 383 or bigger ,for some its the 69 with bad *** engine in it ,will be a hard sell my area you might get 5 to 7k with solid body frame so on,but you don't even see them at the bigger auctions ,so who knows if someone put the right money in it ,thats another thing too,when it comes to early Camaros people think v8 mussle not v6,so no matter what you will get a lot of low ballers on ebay
