I'd own one... if I had gobs of money and had already purchased everything on my Mopar list. I'd probably also be inclined to buy a '66-'67 Chevelle, a '69 Camaro, a '66-'69 Mustang fastback, a Ford GT, the list goes on.

6500, I think that sounds good for a complete 4 spd 1968 muscle car. Even some rust would be expected as long as it's not rotted really bad.
It has some interesting things like a "tic toc tach" a 12 bolt rear and a gauge pak. Makes me wonder if it was a SS or maybe a Z28?


Ghoste

I agree.  So are you buying it then?

1BAD68

I'm going to check the body out closer tomorrow and if someone doesn't beat me to it, I think I will get it.
I figure I should be able to at least get my money back out of it next spring if I decide not to keep it.

a paint job on that thing will boost the value. i think its a decent price.  :2thumbs:

x2.  Look at the firewall in detail also.  :2thumbs:  Based on what you provided $6500 looks like a deal.

Does it need paint, or is it just filthy?  Maybe a good buff will bring it back?

 $6800 is a steal.  Grab it.

I checked it out closer today and used a refrigerator magnet on the body. There were a few spots that the magnet wouldn't stick but just in the areas you would expect, otherwise the body isn't bad for that price.
Everything is just sort of crusty from humidity over the years.
Found the 'ProtectoPlate' in the glove box and the last registration from May '86 among a bunch of old Boston, Blackfoot and Lynard Skynard cassete tapes.
Turns out the car was originally "sequoia green" w/black interior, it had a 327 but was not a Z28 or an SS  :-\

I bet with that many signs on the car he has been trying to sell it for awhile
And if he still has it he is asking too much
I will guess in the $10 000 ball park

Any one else care to guess before we find out the real number ???

I would have said 7800$, if it was in Canada, 10 all day  :yesnod:

6500$ is a great price for that project.  If you can swing it, go for it!
Every great legend has it's humble beginning.
Project 668:
1968 Dodge Charger (318 Car)
Projected Driveline:
383 with mild stroke
Carb intake w/Holley 750 VS

6-Speed Dodge Viper Transmission

Fully rebuilt Dana-60 w/Motive gears. 3.55 Posi, Yukon axles.

Finished in triple black. 

ETA: "Some velvet morning, when I'm straight..."

Then you'll have to get a 68 Ford of some kind to go with it.

QuoteAnyone know what to look for when checking these camaro's out?


Be careful.  Old Camaro owners are notorious for stuffing them full of GM parts.  Lots of those cars have entire Chevy drivetrains.    

Ghoste

You can swap those out though can't you?  :o

y3chargerrt

Can you tell if it's an ss from the data tag? I talked to a guy at a cruise in that had an amazing 69 Z28. He said unless you had the tank sticker AND the matching number engine there was no real way to tell.

Ghoste

GM tags tell you very little which makes them one of the easiest cars to fraudulently duplicate.  Your friend is right.

With "4" For Sale signs, I bet he will take 4k for it. :scratchchin:
