Im looking at a couple of cars local to me right now. The first is a 1970 Camaro. The engine is a 350 rebuilt 500 miles ago supposedly. TH350 trans that has a small leak somewhere. Discs/Drums. there is rust. needs new window/door gaskets. engine/trans run good. trunk has a sheetmetal panel riveted in. Paint is good from far, mako style from up close. Here are some pics. Floors look solid from below. He lowered his price from $7500 to $6500.

Looks like the Camaro had some serious rust issues, and they slapped a cheap paint job on it to temporarily make it shine. As long as you like doing sheetmetal repair, that would be an okay project.

The Elco is clean, but I guess I'm just not a fan of Chevelle trucks. I know a few guys that have dumped serious coin into Elcos, and when they sold the cars they came nowhere near the price of a comparible year/condition Chevelle.
