how much for a 1969 camaro build?

[Steve Firebird]

I think the best plan is to figure out what you want set up a "buy" list with the venders you want to work with and then stay the heck off the PT boards untill you are done I can't tell you how much extra money I have spent because i got cool ideas or a "deal" on some neat parts that I really did not need to reach my original goals. My car is a not the car that I originaly intended to build. Blast you PT guys and your super cool stuff

x3 works just as well LOL

Would be like building any custom car, sky is the limit. I would say around 100k for a good looking camaro, but no show stopper.

My goal is to have a 69 camaro pro touring type vehicle. I already have the body I bought for 7k and will buy a big block with a 6spd for 10k. I know this is a broad question but what am I looking at price wise for a completion of the car. I dont want to go extravegant but would dyno mat the whole car, repaint, which my buddy does, definately suspension of some sort and a nice interior, meaning seats and a dash. I hope this is not a dumb question, but I dont really know where to start when it comes to an old school project. If the cost is crazy, I will probly just buy a 2006 z06 for around 60k. Any help would be appreciated and thank you for listening to my thoughts.

I've been pondering bailing out of my Camaro project and buying a Z06. The trouble is, in CO at least, I'd pay $1500/yr taxes +1200/yr ins. That does not factor in depriciation on the new car.

I haven't even added mine up yet. I'm afraid. I'll be on the north side of 100k when all is said and done.

This thread is make me dizzy. Just buy the Corvette, or better yet wait for the new Camaro when it comes out.

Looking back to the past 10 years... so what numbers you guys have over there lately?
All I know is building a badass pro tourer here in europe costs crazy numbers.

100k?
I wish...

If you are looking at spending 60k... you can end up with a ZR1, not just a z06.

Unless you are looking for a 2013 z06 with mega low miles or a very rare color.

I picked up my Atomic Orange z06 (2008) from a collector in Dallas for 48k back in 2012.
