Hey everyone. Newbie camaro fan. I'm just curious on this auction what all your opinions are on this car re: the car itself and the price. No Im not looking to buy, just curious as I do plan to get a camaro and build a PT. Can you build a car like this for 50k?
Thanks!

Car is not bad, but the stripes are horrible in my opinion....

From the photos, it appears to be a quality build. There are lots of high dollar hard parts too. If you had someone else do most of the work, I say you would not come in below $60K. If you did the work yourself, you could come in under the $50K.

If you liked everything but the gay a*s stripes

, you could negotiate a good price and get the stripes removed.

I appreciate all your input. Being a Newb, my point isnt to be a jerk, but viper blue, doesnt your car have 2 stripes

I was a lil deceptive. I am thinking seriously of purchasing this car. Im just a lil ashamed of admitting that. I have been obsessed for 2 months looking for a 18k-24k camaro to PT and make my own. But I really want a 69. Then I came across this and can get a good deal. I just wish it was a 69 and had a lil more motor.
again, thanks for all your input. I hope to be a welcomed regular on this site!

Welcome to the site.

I think it's a cool car and seems to be a great buy considering what is in it. The fit and finish looks really good - in the pictures. However, I do have to agree with the stripes. The firewall treatment isn't the issue, it's how they continue down the rear past the trunk lid. Of course, it's just my opinion.

YOu counld not have it built for any less than 75-80 at a cheap shop. Lots of high dollar parts and lots of work. You could however do it yourself for less than 50 and save 3.27 on .8ounces less white paint so they dot go past the spoiler. LOL

Looks to be a pretty nice car. Yes the stripes (and grille) imo, are awful. If they just made a few changes it probably would be gone by now. Being in the middle of a project myself and checking all my reciepts, I think you would be hard pressed to build a car like this even doing the work yourself for $50K. If you can buy it now in that price range, I think you would be doing good. Just make a few changes to personalize it. I think you know the changes I'm (we're) talking about. Plus, you could be driving it right now, not waiting for this, that, and the other thing!
