Camaro is a 69 Hugger Orange w/black stripes & top, mild 396, 4/speed, 12 bolt, Wilwoods all around, Vintage Air, Arizen seats, 18 inch Boze wheels, RS front end with DSE/Hotchkis suspension springs lowered 2 inches in front and 3 inches in the rear..
Good color combo, 4 spd is a plus, the DSE/Hotchkis set means you probably have decent spring rates under it, most PT guys love 1st gen Camaros, this would probably be an easy sell.

Good color with nice options. Hemi Cudas always command money,,,but, there are not many PT mopar guys out there who are willing to pay the $$ to get into a ride like this. Plus, with the stock t-bars cranked down and 600# of Elephant sitting on them, I can't believe it really handles great. Hemi t-bars are like putting a300# sring under you Camaro.

I'd keep the Mopar, but I'm partial to those. You don't see Cudas everywhere you go. The Mopar might get you more $$, but will take longer to sell. If the goal is to dump something quickly, the Camaro will be an easier sell and you can unload it faster.

How do you use them now and what do you plan for them in the future? If all you do is go to cruise ins, then the Hemi will always get lots of attention If you plan on stepping up the performance and driving them hard, the Camaro will take less effort and expense to get there.
