Price: $120,000

Description:

Putting the feelers out and thinking about selling my 1968 Camaro pro-touring complete build. This thing is a monster and needs nothing! No expense has been spared on this project. It runs and drives like a brand new car. Not too sure why I'm selling it. I guess I'm just at the feeling of completing one of my life bucket list items by building this car. ...Everyone says I'll regret selling it.

Body/paint, interior, mechanical, workmanship, style.... I'd rate it all at a 10 out of 10. I'm so OCD about this thing that it never gets driven. ...I even blow the dust off the cover that sits on this thing in the garage I think the odometer shows approximately 440 miles since its complete overhaul.

Below is a link to the "project updates" that I have posted along the way. A lot of people on the forum have helped me out over the years as this thing has progressed.

Over $180k into this thing, asking $120,000

I'm in Fort Collins, Colorado. Buyer is responsible for transportation/delivery.

Call/text/message me if I can answer any questions!
