Rust-rust and rust--buy the best car you can afford--buy what YOU want not just what you find--the hunt is part of the FUN!!

Agree with Glenn.
If an original equipped Camaro, check VIN on engine, pass side below the cyl head on block deck if V8, next to distributor if L6, matches with dash VIN.
Get Trim tag info, next to master brake cylinder, and check over at www.camaros.org for as-built from GM options.
On all First Gen years, if VIN starts 123...OE L6 engine built; 124... is V8 born.
'67 & '68have alternator on drvr side of engine, '69 is pass side alternator.
Some may have transplanted later belt set-up into earlier Camaro's. and it can make for parts screw-up with pulleys, belts, water pump configuration, and accessory mounting.
If complete and runs, check all accessories work.
Obviously, the condition it is in and your thoughts will determine pricing.
Basket cases require money and time.
Running/drivable not so much.
