i'm looking for a sort of thread or link to literature or so, giving me insights into the car and especially the need to knows before searching and buying one. anyone who can help?

thanks

 

Are you looking for an "original" (or un-molested) car?

Camaro Research Group(CRG) is a great site for any information about originality, factory options, trim codes, and VIN's for first generation 67-69 Camaro's...

They also have a forum to ask questions. They can help you to verify whether the car is a "real" Z28, SS model, or just a "clone"... CRG Discussion Forum - Index

 

as original as possible I would say, but that's also a question of $$$
thanks for the link.
does anyone know if the book "Original Camaro 1967-1969: The Restorer's Guide 1967-1969 (Original Series)" can still be bought anywhere?

 

I bought a copy on eBay.

 

You can even find the original assembly manuals used by the factory. Its a reproduction of course.

You also need to find one a test drive it. For anyone that enjoys the precision handling of a C6 an original first gen in restored original condition will handle like a 30 year old pickup truck. I can drive a C6 200 KPH with one hand on the wheel on just about any highway, 200 KHP is about as fast as you want to take a stock first gen on a straight, flat road and you want to have a lot of stopping room.

Of course upgrades for suspension an brakes are available.
