hey, i was woundering. i have a 1977 Camaro sitting in my shop has a stright body with one spot of rust behind the rear driver side tire the size of my fist good int. titl stearing not sure what motor but i have a 350 small block to go in it and two sets of wheels i was woundering about how much i could reasinably ask for it??

Please help

 

I will give $200 for it without even seeing it.

 

well i traded a 77 firebird for it and it is in GREAT shape been told its worth 5,00 as it sits, do you know things to look for in the car that might up or down the value? im very new to the whole classic car thing...

 

What is "woundering"?? j/k

I've seen those go from anywhere between 1,000 and 5,000. Depends on the how the interior is and if the engine is half-way decent.

 

Not sure it will go $5,000, but if you post a picture we might be able to better judge the value. It also depends on the model Camaro, as std. models usually wont get what a RS or Z/28 will bring. Is this a Turbo 350, or a 4spd?

 

well saddly i dont have pictures on this computer..but the 350 that i have for it is a turbo, i have a high pefermance cam and eblebrock intake. with blower, the motor in it atm dose not run it will crankbut not turn over its an auto but i was planning on changeing it over to a 4 speed. the body and int are in great condtion considering, but there is one spot of rust on the body and its fist sized.....

 

I don't believe you could ever get $5,000 for a non running 1977. Basically it ould have to be looked at as a shell with a core motor, since potential buyers will be assuming a complete rebuild needed. Probably more like $2500. Now if you get it running, that's a whole different scenario.

 

so saying i can get my running motor into it than maybe to the right buyer? well than ill just keep it auto and put the 350 in. thank you

 

is there anything to look for to start figureing out what it is and has in it? the guy i got it from didnt have much to say about it he really didnt know a whole lot... i have found out that it has a 12 bolt rear end. but thats all i really know. any advise in this area?

 

Best place to start figuring which engine it has is to look at the code on the block. It's just at the base of the head on the front passenger side of the engine. That wont tell you what's inside, such as if it was bored out, or stroked. It also wont tell you anything about the internals of cam, etc. If it turns out to be a hi performance block it could have the 4 bolt mains.
Check the front of the heads and maybe pull a valve cover to see which heads it has too. If they're 194 or 2.02 heads that is even better. There's a casting number in the lifter area.
