Financially, building a '67-'69 Camaro makes sense. Everything you want or need is a click away from purchasing and plenty affordable. How much is a new repo grille for a '69 Camaro? I'll bet they are $150 range. An NOS grille for my '70 AMX is $1500 or more. A good used one with only a few broken tabs is at least $500. And with a Camaro engine, you can go to any machine shop in the country and have a good chance of successfully getting a decent engine built. Not so with the off the wall engines. The list goes on and on.

And then when you go to sell it, what brings in the most money in the least amount of time? What brings in a higher return on your investment? I see 1st gen Camaro's posted here and elswhere and they seem to bring good money; quickly, while others are on the market seemingly forever at greatly discounted prices. And that includes other GM products against the 1st gen Camaro.
