My Ex-boss has a 1967 CamaroRally Sport convertible. The thingis all original from the 327 engine, automatic transmission, air conditioning, California Package (front disc brakes), powerlocks, power steering, power brakes, power headlight covers, but no power windows. He boughtit for $5600 and is in the process of restoringit to original condition. No mods just stock. He's going to have it painted original butter nut yellow and havered line tires reinstalled on it. Plus, in 2009, hemay put it in the local chevy dealer's showroom next to the new 2009 Camaro.
Does anyone want to venture what this car is worth.Someone once told him that it's worth $20,000 right now in pieces and well over $40,000 restored.

2008 F150 King Ranch 4x4,
Mileage is mediocre
but the leather is awesome
My understand of older Camero pricing is about two yrs. old now, but....
if all the numbers match, the car is restored PROFESSIONALLY from the ground up to 100% orginal, very low mileage car, the car's plastic chrome is in 100% perfect condition, everything fits tight as a drum and all panels line up exactly and you come across the right buyer(s) you should be able to ring the bell in around the 45k mark.
Footnote: that car would draw a much larger dollar value if sold in Europe.

Hey Les, my now dating research has indicated one of the best markets for top dollar is, sadly the middle east. Followed by Germany and some parts of the Netherlands.
What my studies and research have indicated is countries with narrow roadways and over population makes for a smaller market target = less dollar value to the vehicle.
North American classic muscle cars are a hot item overseas and will fetch a hefty value if one choices the right markets.
Geez you'd almost think I've flatbeded cars to the harbor in NY and shipped them to Europe before.
A friend of mine just finished a 6 year resto on a 69SS Camaro to all original status his was a frame off resto with the frame being acid dipped to remove all the surface rust and then I believe he had the frame powdered coated black the car was appraised at 48k he has a little over 25k into it

There are several 'levels' of restoration on these. I was at the Barrett auction last winter, looking over a 67 Chevelle SS396 ragtop original 375hp 4spd that was done apparently to max level. The owner told me he expected it to bring right around $100k! I was looking at those a couple years back when I decided to buy a new convertible car of some sort to replace my Jeep.. I looked then at the late 60's muscle cars, a real sweet restored any of them was in the $35-$40k area... And up, depending on how rare they were, and how restored they were. I came very close to buying a 71 Buick GS455 red w/white conv top $32k, (partially because it was exactly like the one I bought new when I returned from Viet Nam). It was all orginal with 82k on the clock. I would have driven it as is, but a collector would have restored it. If it had the Stage 1 package, it'd been BIG bucks. I ended up with a more modern car this time (92 Porsche 911), maybe next time. I was enamored at the auction by a Cobra tho... Sweet thing about these cars is you can trade'em every couple years and get all your $ back or even make some...
Don't quote me on this or anything, but the Barrett auction is of the highest order. Many car owners try to sell through them but their cars do not qualify......only the very best of the best are allowed to go up on the auction block, hence why they pull the top dollars they do.
