Buddy of mine back in the '70's built from a wreck a '68 bird ragtop with a Camaro front clip on it and a 455 Pontiac from a station wagon. It was a nice ride for a junkyard dog.

 

I was wondering about how the title was handled too.
Also, without seeing the back end, it could be "right year but wrong rear"!

 

There are plenty of Camaro's that started life as a Firebird. If that doesn't bother you and the car is in good shape, then buy it and enjoy it.

But if the car needs any real work, then I would pass on it because the car's value will always be severely limited. You'd just be throwing money away.

 

My brother has a 67 Firebird made into a Camaro. He bought it from a guy who put a built 400 SBC. He got it out in the spring before he had insurance on it to show his buddies. After a few beers his buddies talked him into taking them for a ride. Got showing off and smashed it in the drivers front corner, hit so hard it pushed in the firewall and A pillar a few inches and buckled the quarter panel. My brother bought it for $1,500 for the motor as that was fine. He is going to put into his 69 Camaro convertible he is slowly restoring (works 11-12 hours a day). I almost had him talked into selling it to me a few years ago but he decided he would restore it also. I am assuming since there were alot more Camaro's around it was easier to get replacement Camaro parts from a junkyard instead of Firebird parts? Or is it more desirable to have a Camaro so they converted them? Personally I like the looks of the firebird front ends. But a first gen RS front, now that's what I'm talk'in bout.
