69 Camaro Value??

Mike Gardner · 01-19-2012, 11:04 AM

You are all correct. I was basically looking for a value on the car from the esteemed racer braintrust.

The owner, a woman, called me back about the car yesterday. She says she has owned the car for 18 years. It was originally green on green w/ black vinyl top. The original owner had the car painted white. This owner had the car stripped and painted blcak with the removal of the vinyl top. When asked about the mileage on the car she woulndt give me a straight answer and told me it had between 24000 and 44000 miles. I had to laugh at that.

Anywho, I think the car is a $7000.00 to $8000.00 car. She says she has 5 people that are willing to give her the 14k, i say have a nice day!

Thanks for your replys guys!

If anyone gets that car for 8K then that is a steal. Even if the numbers didn't match anything then $9500-10K would be more like it. $11K would be approaching the high side even for non numbers matching 69. Solid and relatively clean 69 Camaro drivers are not common.

I spent a decade looking for one at a good price and ended of paying $13K for a 69 superstock roller that needed to be completely redone and have the frame straightened.

GOOD LUCK on that one, but times are hard now, so you might find a better deal.

Here is one that sold at Barrett-Jackson yesterday...

A Crazy price for the condition from what I can see ....

So there must be a lot of people that are still willing to pay silly high prices for these cars.....Not me.....thats for sure...

if there are 5 people willing to give her her price why is she bothering even talking to anyone else, that car is way overpriced for its condition and when you see it in person you"ll probably pass out!!!

The price varies to the beholder. Depending on what your plans for the car are will make a difference. If the car is a driver --COLOR-- is huge. The most popular color (not mine) is hugger orange. I happen to like cortez silver or garnet red. Nothing like a 69 Z/28 in garnet red with black stripes--just nasty !

I would bet you she gets $11,500 for the car. The 69's (Not 67 or 68's) are still in tooooo high of a demand.

Mike G should go take a look at the car as he used to be 10 minutes or so from Centreville. Get an idea of surroundings as Centreville VA is a higher rent district area for the suburbs. You can barely buy an outdated town home for $300K in the area.

It's all relative to the area you live in. If you live in BFE Ohio then it's overpriced to you, but if you live in San Fran then that car would be gone for around 11K

I dont think the car is overpriced at all............ If the add is true !!!! In this case a look is worth a thousand words and the only way to see. Black was available on any '69 Camaro, it's simply code 10 and could be a 6 cyl to a Z/28. Black '69's are pretty rare though and if that was the original color it is a slight bonus. Pics look to be power drum brakes, P/S and it had factory A/C. If it is a rust free ORIGINAL body, it's a good deal and probably wont last long, if the add is a lie and the body is a turd............ it's overpriced.
