Going rate for a `67-`68 F Body?

[VintageMusclecar]

As the thread title states, I'm curious what the current going rate might be for a decent, relatively rust-free `67-`68 Camaro or Firebird, preferably a plain-Jane unit.

I realize this is a pretty broad question, I'm just looking for ballpark figures.

I would say $12-18k. Probably a wider range than you were looking for.

I have been looking for one without an engine. Couple had been in eBay with good bodies and the painted on brought 12500. Hard to find a good one in Ohio!

Here's my dilemma;

Along with "Muscles Mouse" (the 302 project), I have another serious effort project waiting to be unveiled, and the only thing I have to use as a test vehicle is my Chevelle, which I'm obviously not about to put a cage in or otherwise extensively modify for track (ab)use.

It's pretty obvious an early F body isn't going to happen any time soon...I'm thinking a mid `70's Nova/Apollo/Ventura might be a more viable candidate. (Maybe even a 4-door?....hmmm.....)

Just kicking around options & ideas at this point.

How about a cosworth vega without a motor or a monza? All black, cragars, and stance with a motor to back it up! This just sold on this site.http://www.ebay.com/itm/201065869933?ssPageName=STRK

hmmmmmmmmmmm..........

Sweet.
Mini tubs, big tires under the back on steel wheels with hub caps. Quite the sleeper.

I'm thinking 275's and slapper bars.

That's a cool looking Nova!

[budnate]

maybe think G body.... <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/3gears.gif

I already have a G body, an `83 Malibu wagon which is affectionately known as &quot;the hoopty&quot;. It's our #2 daily driver, and Rachel has more or less claimed it as hers. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif

However, I don't think she'd appreciate having to climb over a cage to make a grocery run. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smirk.gif

It will be getting a mild small block transplant shortly (currently a wheezed-out 229 V6), I just need to get the small block on the dyno first.

I'm needing something (cheap) I can put a cage in and pound on mercilessly. I emailed the guy with the Nova, haven't heard back yet though.

There's a nagging little voice in the back of my head telling me to look at a Fox Mustang, but I just can't bring myself to do it.

How about this one? Will sell without engine and trans...

Or this one in Prescott:

What it would look like...

Not 67 or 68, but here is an F body.

I wish I could swing something like that, but that's definitely well past any budget I can put together right now.

FWIW, I recently missed out on a decent `67 Camaro project car a business acquaintance of mine had stashed away.

I've been pestering him off &amp; on for several years to put a price on it since he admitted he wasn't going to be able to do anything with it any time soon. Long story short, a couple of months back he sold it to a &quot;buddy&quot; (for a song &amp; a dance I might add) who promised him he was going to fix it up...it was on CL the very next day.

Some things just aren't meant to be.

edit: still haven't heard back from the Nova guy yet.
