No, those are fiberglass flares in the rear. I guess it was a cheaper alternative to tubbing it and it gives it a really mean stance. I attached a couple more pics for different angles.

Here's my two cents.
Every person on this board is a car enthusiast, and especially a Camaro enthusiast. No matter who you ask everyone will say that you should keep the car. Especially since it's a '67-'69 which is like the holy grail of Camaros, and I doubt anyone here would disagree with me. And trust me I know how it feels to get rid of a car you like. I'm looking to sell my '74 wnem I'm ready to buy a new car but even though it's not as amazing as yours I am very well attached to it.
Now the Avalanche you say are about to pay off in 4 years. By way of my uneducated guessing i'm going to say that trying to sell it would be a pain in the @$$. Mostly because of the way the economy is right now and the ups and downs of gas prices. My parents and I recently tried to sell our 2006 Durango and needless to say that we walked out of the whole experience wishing we had never bought it.

So in summary, I would keep that beautiful Camaro and try to pay off the Avalanche before buying a new car. But if you can afford it, hey who's stopping you? Right?
Maybe if you wait a little longer you can get your hands on a slightly used2010 that you like and buy it for a lot less.

But that's just one person's opinion it's all up to you.

I would definitely keep the '68 just for its sheer beauty. Well modified.

You can't be serious! Don't get rid of that beautiful car! The new camaro can wait, getting rid of that '68 will sting forever, trust me. I watched my dad get rid of his '67 and '69 Z28 and he doesn't go a day without regretting it. Don't do it for your sanity!

First, welcome! And thanks for joining.

If you can afford to, my personal opinion; KEEP THE '68! And get a 5th Gen.!

I'm going through a similar dilemma. I love my '99, but can't justify keeping it, buying the 5th Gen., and having 3 cars. So, I'm not sure what to do. :(

But as I said, if you can afford both, KEEP THE '68! It's beautiful.

I would sell it now while it is highly valued and save yourself those monthly payments for the 2010. The current excitement of the 2010 Camaro has brought the Camaro name back in the lime-light and your car has a great chance to make you big bucks in an auction. The longer you keep the car, the harder it will be to part with it down the road.

I don't think anyone read my long post, but basically he won't get much for the Avalanche because people don't want SUVs/Trucks with the way gas prices and the way the economy is.
