I'm guessing you may get around 30 for it. What's with the sudden urge for a first gen? going to make it a project car? drag car? pro touring? Just a cruiser for nostalgia?

I've always wanted one, just never considered it until now. I want a '69 RS and turn it into a pro touring car. Put some Hotchkis suspension, Forgeline wheels and some other goodies on it It's a car that I will keep for a long time and its a good investment since the resale value will only increase. I'll lease a cheaper better gas mileage car for a DD.

My friend with the M3 said I'd be disappointed with the power compared to my car. Plus mods are twice as much.

M3s are fun cars to drive in the mountains. They have great handling, but are lacking power.
'69 would be an awesome car for a weekend cruiser. You def wouldn't be losing money on that! Are you looking at a roller, one that needs some TLC, or just one thats pretty much restored?

I'd prefer a decent stock one. I wanna paint it a color I want and do some performance upgrades... maybe drop in an LS3. I have seen ones in really good shape in the mid 30s. I'd rather get one that needs a little work for cheaper so I can do it how I want.

Taylor, My Camaro is sitting on the dealer lot for $29,988, not sure if they will sell it for anywhere close to that, but just for comparison sake if you are thinking of how to price yours.

dropping in an LS3 would be sooo freakin cool to ride around in! I'm planning something similar, but not with a camaro. What's your timeframe for purchasing one?

I was hoping to get at least 30k. I will sell it privately.

I am going to wait until next year. Probably end of winter.

First things first...of all of the IOM Camaros I have ever seen, yours is the most striking. I keep coming back to this thread to look at it.

I just picked up a '13 ZL1 IOM last week, and the first thing I wanted to do was to black out the roof (I've done this to three other cars...I love the look) and the spoiler. Suffice it to say you've made up my mind on this!

I love the way you've blacked out the front and rear as well. Really looks amazing. You've done one incredible job creating a beautiful Camaro.

Sorry to be a copycat, Taylor. Me and you will have the same exhaust setup minus the shorties... Getting everything installed on the 26th. Late Christmas present I guess. Can't wait to hear my 1LE come to life! I've been watching your vids to keep me satisfied lol...
