69 camaro value?

[Travis Miller]

Dick, the best way I have found to check on what cars are actually selling for is to watch the prices on e-bay. Do a search, select a few, then see what the bidding goes to and whether they sell or not. Very few musclecars are selling because people are still trying to get yesterdays prices.

Dick what would a COPO style body be other than a coupe with a cowl hood?

I have to agree with Travis - demand is a big part of what determines price (as well as whether or not the seller is motivated to sell or just testing the waters). If there is competition between multiple prospective buyers obviously that can drive the price up. That has really died down considerably the last few years.

I think you need to set your own value to it as a buyer. If you like the car & want it... & it fits into your plans (meaning - it sounds to me like it doesn't need any work at all & also that it is something you want to keep, not buy to resell and make a profit on), then it might be worth it, but only you can make that decision. To make any older muscle car totally cherry costs a hell of a lot more than five thousand dollars, not to mention the time it takes to do it.

To add to Travis' strategy, I do the same thing except after your search results come up, go to the check boxes on the left side and click on "completed listings". It will show you the results of recent auctions...prices in green are items that sold, prices in red are items that didn't sell.

And the last car I would buy would be the one with "all new panels".

Spend the extra money and buy one that still has the original panels. There are a lot of really pretty cars with shiny paint that loose their allure once it gets to your garage for a few weeks and you start to really study it. Gaps, here, gaps there, mismatched seams and body lines and of course rust that seems to inevitably pop up; again and again.

Sure I'm spoiled living in Arizona. But the good ones are still out there. Since this oval port 427 (which is not a COPO engine since they were all rectangular port) is not original, consider a 307 Camaro that still has an excellent original body and put a 427 in it if that's what you want.

And with '69 Camaro's it's pretty easy to spend $25K on up on a decent driver that has a good appearance.
