Default quick question

How much are the 1969 chevy camaro 350 ss worth around? In pretty much mint condition.

It depends. I'm not an expert. You can check Barret-Jackson results and Hammond, etc.

However, I'll hazard a guess based on less than "mint" car's I've seen. A 69 Convertible that looked really good from 10 feet and pretty good close up, and that looked like I could drive in home to NC (it was in Portland, OR) and make it, was priced at $22,000. One locally, a coupe, had a new crate engine and aftermarket (recent wheels), cosemtically good to look at in and out although not new paint or interior, but was mechanically bulletproof with nearly all new drivetrain and steering, etc, and the guy wanted $13K - probably could have bought it for $10.

Mint? Let's call that looking as good as if it drove off the dealer showroom new only four weeks ago, with all the little things perfect- trim rubber around the windows and gaskets around the tailights, all the window glass without tiny scratches, etc. etc. etc. say a convertible (they bring more) with all the right options and none of the wrong, matching numbers, in a good color (I don't know which, but some colors bring a lot more than others), and all original (maybe not the original parts, but everything fixed with exactly the same replacement parts so it is completely unmodified, it might bring $30K? Its a nice car, but even if its a real SS, its not that rare, and the big money goes for the big blocks (SS396 which is what I'm really looking for), or the really rare 427, which were not SSs: an original 69 427 Camaro coupe with the right options including the really powerful engine, the bench seat (really) and matching numbers might bring $100K.

..but he is not an expert. Yeah ok. If there is one guy on this site (and there is certainly more than one) that could be called a muscle car expert, Lee is the guy.

you could always go on ebay and set the reserve really high so noone could posibly bid that high and see how far the bids go... if your wanting to sell it u may even get an offer on there u can take.

thank you, but I actually don't know. I do know the one I looked at in Portland was so tempting (and, buy the way, it was at a classic car dealer). This whole conversation is making me itch to buy an old classic.
