Default new to camaros, new to the usa. need help purchasing a muscle car

hi guys. ive just moved from australia to the usa and played with heaps of muscle cars back home. i now am interested in buying a 67-69 camaro but dont know too much about them so i need ur opinions and tech and general knowledge of two cars im looking at atm. ive had 15 yrs of experience in ozzie muscle but am fairly clueless to u.s muscle. can u guys have a look at these two cars and give me ur honest opinions on them. value, model info, flaws on fault on the mods and anything else that sticks out about the two mentioned vehicles?

thanx in advance

if buying on Ebay always go see the car or send out someone to inspect it for you, you can find these guys in the camaro clubs in those area/ city/ states. will cost you. i have seen them charge $200 to $400 but it well worth it. saves you a lot of regret when the car shows up not as advertised.

don't forget to hit www. craigslist.org around you as you can find some nice cars near you to check out and might save some $$$

Just by going off pictures, if cars were similar in quality I would spend $30k for a 68 convertible before I spent $35k on a 67 coupe. But I doubt I would drop that on either of these.

i prefer the detail and the specs of the convertible. 502ci weiland blower with a 6 spd. frame off rebuild. u dont think that sort of build is worth 35k? whats a stock clean 68 convertible worth?
