<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: 69L78</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I don't understand it,with todays market and what you would have into a car restoring it right now, why would someone want to start out with a rust bucket when you can buy a car done for way less. A friend of mine just sold a real 66 SS that you can drive right now for $25k. He sells cars like this all the time, if you are looking for something just let me know I find cars like this all the time here in PA, How do you think Dan (MossportGreen) found his original 69Z. </div></div>

I agree 100%. My buddy just finished working on a 67 Mustang Rag Top that is and was a total piece of $hit!! EVERYTHING on the car is repop junk.. I have never seen so many repop parts on one car. The only thing original to the car was the frame. The floor pans, trunk and all body panels are repop. The panels are so crooked it is just horrible.

Nothing lines up right. The owner was told to junk the car and not try to restore it.. But he didn't listen and now has about 35 thousand in a car that is a hunk of crap. The car is not even a GT or anything rare that would have been worth saving...

Really a shame to see all of those rotting away. Too bad they didn't have the foresight to put some in closed storage. Bummer.

Both the blue '68 Camaro and the blue '67 Chevelle were said to be L78 cars. Camaro did not have a trim tag.

a 68 Camaro trim tag will tell no tales except of color and trim ...
