Looking to purchase 69 Camaro - Australia
 

Hi All,
My first post!
My name is Dave and I'm from Australia.


I'm looking to buy a 69 Camaro.
Doesn't have to be showroom quality but a solid weekend cruiser.
Would like to have something other than standard base body, a SS or Z28 or something X code.. Doesn't have to be numbers matching, just so its a little special..


I found this one for sale:

I decoded the vin:

Yes not numbers matching motor and interior trim (except seats) changed to all black.


Also here is an appraisal report


Can members kindly share their thoughts on:
1. Price Point
2. Condition
3. Additional money that should be spent on her.


Many thanks in advance
Dave

Nice Camaro, but,
Transmission crossmember in backwards - shifter holes (3) should be on drvr side.
Six leaf rear springs and non-OE shock plates - should be only five leaves.
Rear pass axle tube should be coded BU (3.73) or BV (4.10).
White ivory/plastic shift knob - should be chrome since pattern is on the console plate - aftermarket shifter.
Should not have Z/28 emblem on dash.
AIR pump and rest of the system removed.
Rear stripes do not go up the rear panel far enough - should be halfway.
Not a '69 brake master cylinder.
Where are the third set of rear seat belts?
And I think, if grille emblem is present, then no fender emblems, and vice versa.

But for $40K USD, not bad, good luck.
I'm sure other members with more knowledge will submit their thoughts and sightings.

First welcome to the site.


That is a nice looking car. Body, interior looks nice, the underside needs some attention and I'd want to know more about the drivetrain.


Hate the Z emblem on the dash pad and make sure for that price tag they get you a switch knob of the wipers.


Who contracted the appraiser to look at the car?


That's going to cost you more than a few pints to have that shipped down under!


Cheers

Hey Everett, I thought 5 leafs were for SS cars and 4 were for Z's?

Correct, less weight = faster speed.
My mistake

Nice looking car, and not a bad price, if it's as nice as it looks. It would be worth a bit more if it had the matching numbers engine. They should have done some undercarriage detailing though, a little bit can go a long way. Z/28 emblems are right, one on the grille and one on each front fender.

Forgot one item - wheel diameter.
Open the glovebox door and hopefully the original tire air pressure sticker is still there.
Only a Z/28 came with 15 inch wheels as shown on sticker.

Love that color combo.
