1969 camaro Z 28

[dday1]

Wanted 1969 camaro Z28, project or basket case. I am looking for a real Z28 body/shell or more, don't care what shape. Approx. two years ago I spoke to a member on here who had a project, I was not able to follow through, health issues but if you still have or know of someone please email. Thanks in advance for your help.

You may want to check out the classified at www.camaros.net (http://www.camaros.net) also.

There has to be someone out there that has a old 1969 Z28 body shell that they will sell.

I guess I'm just going to say this flat out...

When you make a statement like the above, it sounds like you are interested in just buying it for the tags.

I took it as he wanted a real Z and had the time but not alot of money...

[Chateau Slate 66]

I would normally agree, but if you are looking for a car to restore, you are going to need more than a shell and you would care about condition IMO.

I could be wrong. All the fakes out there make me think people are up to no good.

I think the silver barn find listed meets your criteria other than the $$$$$.

Thanks, I have always wanted a 69 Z28 and that is what I want sitting in my garage. I would love to buy a complete project but in watching the prices I know my finances will only allow a basket case or shell. My best friend is an old school metal fabricator and willing to help me, If I am going to spend hard earned money, a little at a time it will be on a true Z28. No it will never be numbers matching but will be built with original 69 GM metal one piece at a time. 20 years from now it will still be an original Z.
Thanks

That's exactly what I thought... every once in a while there is a project that comes up... about a year ago there was a dusk blue/blue std int pre X code Z mostly original paint car had the 4 original dated ralleys and all... it sold on ebay for $2500... they are out there... just few and far between... Good Luck! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

Most times semi-basket cases and rust buckets never get done. You could probably find a #3 car without original drive train for what you want to spend. I was just checking Ebay. There are a few project Z/28's on there now. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif Sam

Thanks for your posts, I am watching ebay daily, the question is buying something that I can afford at this time $4000-$5000, a rusted out shell that I can restore over time the right way, I should say my way trying to keep it as much GM as possible or spending $10000-$15000 on something that someone pieced together with aftermarket metal then tearing it apart down to the bare shell and starting over, (I dont mean to knock someone for doing this but I want real GM metal in my car). I have been watching and listening a long time and many say dont buy someone else, start with the best shell you can afford and do it yourself then you will know what you have.

NOW THERE HAS TO BE SOMEONE OUT THERE THAT HAS OR KNOWS OF AN OLD REAL Z SHELL I CAN PURCHASE AND BRING BACK TO LIFE.

This is not someone wanting tags or to do a rebody,as I could simple do, but a camaro enthusist who wants the real thing, a camaro with tags never removed and a little history would be nice.

Now wouldn't it be cool to follow the built on here from junk to gem, I need your help.

I am with you Tim. I love original sheetmetal. I try to buy good used whenever I can. I even like good used better than NOS. NO Taiwan crap for me. Repro stuff from other countries makes me feel like I am putting together a kit car of some sort and not good old American Muscle. I know where there is a rust free (pretty much) 69 Z in the midwest but not sure he will sell! Its a very nice project car with a shell like you are looking for. Keep looking and good luck! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Tim:

If you start out with a rusted out shell for $5000 and no drivetrain, you're looking at another $5000 (at a minimum) for GM sheetmetal (quarters are $3,000). A DZ engine will set you back another $5000 and add another $5000 for the rest of the drivetrain and incidentals. You're already at $20,000 and haven't touched the interior, paint, suspension or any of the other labor. JMHO, but this is not a good strategy. Buy the most complete car that you can and you'll be happier in the long run. Running, driving projects can be had for a lot less than $20,000 if you don't need the cowl tag to say X33 or X77. Good luck, Ed http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif

BTW - whatever these heaps sell for should be considered the going rate for a basketcase '69 Z. You are not going to find anything cheap anymore I'm afraid. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

I don't like the trim tag.

Ya, the red car has a fake tag on it.

[bilede]

[pSYCo]

i have your shell. it is a SUPER solid, original metal, no hit body. the floors are BEAUTIFUL !!!!!! most of the original trunk spatter is in tact, the tags have never been off the car. fathom green, dark green std. int., no vinyl top, x33, MINOR rust was patched in the 1/4's and should be reworked to be ''right'' ( or bondoed over if you just don't care ! ).YOU WILL NOT FIND A CLEANER, REAL, z28 project ANYWHERE.pm me for details. thank you.

[dday1]
