1. No matter what you do to the bird it will have the worst return on investment of the 3 if you ever sell. So for every dollar you put in you might as well throw 2 out the window. I like the 1st gen birds but I'm a realist.
2. The RS SS Status of the Camaro makes it "special" and more desireable to purists looking to do a high end restoration/stock rebuild which gives you an advantage in this down markettrying to sell. It's also the most desireable (easiest to sell quickly) model in their current states IMO.
3. A Shelby clone 67 G-machine would be bad ass and get a lot of attention. You have to have an absolutely incredible 69 Camaro get anyone to even take a second look at it because there's just so many big budget ones that have been done already. You could spend half the money you would on a Camaro and get twice the recognition. Aftermarket support is excellent and reproduction cloning parts are available. Plenty of suspension and brake upgrades available. While return on investment might not be quite as high as the Camaro if you sold IMO it'd probably be close so I'd be willing to give up a little return to have something a little different.

I am in almost full agreement with with above except I may reverse 2 and 3 depending on condition and cost to finish each car
