Yea I'd definitely want to see it in person first before any money was handed over, and I'd use some type of escrow service to hold the money until I have the car. The other problem I have with ebay is the limited nature of the ads, I don't like being pressured into any decision without thinking it over for at least a couple weeks.

ORIGINAL: MichiganMan what's your zip code?post upzip I'll bet we can locate several shops near you and possibly 100's of cars through ebay that are within 200 mile's of your location.the rest is up to you to research them
19355 in the Philadelphia area.
OK all of these cars are within 150 miles of you http://motors.listings.ebay.com/_W0Q...9019&lsot2=

Hey man. That is a nice Beemer...I gotta 68 camaro...Wanna Trade? Hahaha j/k. You DON'T wanna trade... I did however buy mine of eBay and got what I expected. I think that if there are a lot of pictures of the rightplaes that nrmally corrodethen you can think it is safe. But it is always best to heck that stuff out in person.

Stig,
You did not give a lot of details about what you are looking for. You say engine tranny combo does not matter or numbers. But you want no rust or previous damage. From just that it sound like a New 69 would be perfect for you. There are companies outthere thatsell anything fromanew shell to a drive away turn key in rag top or hard top.

You are about 10 years too late to party to fine none rusting never wrecked Camaros. If there are any around they will bring a pretty penny. The newones cost about 18K complete and rolling body only. I assume any no-rust no-crashperfect real 69 would sell for a good bit more. It’s common now a day to spend 15k restoring a body to the condition you are asking for, if it’s done professionally that is.

Where do you find these New 69's? This sounds like it is exactly what I am looking for.

Chip Foose would be happy to build you one, Goggle him. I'm sure there are others that would be more reasonably priced than Chip.
