Need Advice...

[Jay Hilliard]

Hey guys,

I am contemplating whether to sell my 69 camaro to buy a Corvette Z06. If Im having major brain issues here, let me know. I am not sure what the price I should ask for, especially in this economy.

The paint is about 15 years old as I have had the car almost 10 and the previous owner had it painted 5 years before. There is only 1 bit of rust that I have seen and I have had the floorboard and trunk stripped down to bare metal. The small rust is on driver door down on lower side near front fender and I am fixing it whether I sell it or not.

The car is an original matching numbers SS. I have the original engine that will go of course with the car. The T350 goes as well, but have not checked those numbers. The car was an originial auto with T350.

Here are the mods etc I have done to the car. ~2500 miles on motor and trans. I have to look at odometer to get exact number.

Paint: Hugger Orange (originally Olympic Gold)
Wheels: Vintage Wheel Works 17x8x4.75” front – 17x9.5x5.5” rear
Tires: 245/40/17 front – 275/45/17 rear

Will provide all engine component details to potential buyer
Transmission: Tremec TKO-600 5-speed
Rear Differential: GM 12 bolt positive traction w/ 3.73 gear ratio
Brakes: Baer track system in front (13” cross-drilled/Zinc washed rotors), touring system in rear (12” cross-drilled/Zinc washed rotors) with Hydratech’s hydraulic brake booster
