I think it will sell for $15k as absurd as that sounds. The distributor alone has to be a $1500ish piece. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif

The seller does a pretty thorough job of obscuring the VIN and body numbers. I'm guessing this will end up being a rebody but I suppose someone with more ambition than me could get the original body back into shape....

wow, I wouldn't know where to start with that one. The drivetrain is the only thing that would make me want to try to save it. That thing is a wreck!

you can only save the skeleton and the rest would be reproduction or NOS.

I think it can be saved .......... its a big job, but I do think worth it. For the right price.

Honestly, its easier to prove a car is real, especially a 1968 Z28, when they're in as found condition like this one. When the car is freshly restored with no &quot;before pics&quot;, questions are always raised if it's real or not. 1968 Z28, 70 LS6, any 68-70 L78 car. 1969 COPO Camaro. Anything where true docs and as found photos and or owner history prove what it really is. Plus, like said above, some people just like a challenge or want to save a car.

Yes, agree with Matt but saving this one is a stretch. And, I'm also a '68 Z owner...but this one is so far gone that you'd have to have a $100k+ car when you were finished to come out OK.

About the value of the parts really. At least someone will have a numbers car when done if they can save the body.

It would be interesting to see if the buyer on the 68 Z is also the buyer on this 68 that came from the factory one week later, four speed, also Rally Green. It isn't a great start, but there is certainly more of it that is useable. And, any body parts that still had date codes would match up. I waited until both auctions were over, just to be sure I didn't give some scum bag the idea.

And, seller already removed the tags.
