Ok guys Im just fishing right now nothing for sure so just looking for some input and thoughts?

I will have a chance to buy a couple of acres of property over the next year sometime (maybe sooner).

So I'm thinking of letting my Camaro go?? My thoughts are this, if I finish it (body and paint wise) should I put it up for sale before I paint it and let the buyer pick the color, or just paint it a color that most would like?? The car is complete as most of you know. Runs and drive, I have a complete rebuilt 8.5 GM 10 bolt posi rear end to go in it.

So what do you think I could get for freshly painted 2nd gen?

I do not NEED sell it but the property is family owned and I could start to build my shed

on it sooner and then build another car later.

Thoughts????

A lot more if you finished it.... I think you should keep it and finds the funds elsewhere. An almost stock 2nd gen with new paint 18-20 in a good market.

Rick,

What do you estimate the cost being to finish it?

Def buy the property, see if ya can presell the car, then ya, let the buyer choose the color. Its easy to do the driveline later for the buyer....

Skip, as far as out of pocket not much I have most of the parts I need and will be picking up the rest in the next week or so. At most a grand or so, but that is leaving it mostly stock!

Mike that's what I'm thinking, try to sell it before finial paint, that way the new owner can make the call on the color, or anything else they may want done.

As for the property that's for sure I have what I need for that, but the shop is what I need the extra cash for. This is where my wife and I are going to build our last house. It's where her grandparents have lived for the last 75+ years.
