1969 Camaro RS/SS Convertible - Value?
 

Any ideas what a car like this is worth or what would be a reasonable price? Looks very nice but not original and no paperwork. Low to mid $30's?
RS/SS

It looks like a very nice car but I think it's over priced at the asking of $45K. It's a small block car with a big block transplant and has std door panels not deluxe to match the rest of the interior. There are no good close-up shots so really hard to say overall quality wise. I don't like the black on the windshield header or the non retractable seatbelts but that minor stuff... Unless the seller can prove it's a real SS don't accept it as one and dpn't pay for it as one.

Seat belts are backwards, male connectors go by the door, females with buckles go on the transmission tunnel.

The RS can is mounted wrong, it's not even tucked up under the fender like it's supposed to be. No headlight washer solenoid on thw wiper motor, no windsheild washer bottle on the passenger fender. Chances of it being an original RS are looking pretty slim, either that or someone did a lousy job of reinstalling the hardware.

ZL2 hood is non functional, brake master cylinder is either a repro, or a replacement, as there are no bleeders. For 45K it should be a bit more correct than that.

I envy the knowledge you boys have on these Camaros, you don't miss a trick! Just showed a picture of this Camaro to Karen and she said "that's the car" !!!! I know that this car has some issues but this is the type of car we are looking for. BB SS/RS 4spd red w/white stripes houndstooth interior etc etc etc find me one please...or maybe someone out there is building one for resale.

I don't think you could get the houndstooth interior in a conv other than the Pace Cars. This was obviously a small block car by looking at the heater core. $45K is a lot of money for a built car, but if that's what you're looking for then originality doesn't come into play so it gets tougher to put a number on the value. As we've said before, a car is worth what someone is willing to pay.

Jeff has a good point Wilma....real BB vert will set you back more....beat them up and take it home.

Wow, excellent observations, especially from the samll photo's. I can only imagine what you guys would find if you looked at the car in person. Great to know what to look for when buying and selling vintage cars, I have a lot more research to do on Camaro's.

Sure you could. I had a documented BB convt. with black houndstooth a few years ago. I have also seen 2 other non Z11 convt's documented with Houndstooth.

Re: 1969 Camaro RS/SS Convertible - Value?
 

Maybe black comfortweave but not the black and white houndstooth. If you look at the GM order sheets, the boxes to check for houndstooth are blacked out. At least that is what the paperwork says and I have never seen one that is documented.

Jeff,
I just received GM documentation of a Canadian imported '69 Camaro 396/325 convertible, Daytona Yellow with white houndstooth interior. Seems that Canada did get converts with deluxe houndstooth interiors, definately rare though.
