Jeff,

Any way you cut it, cross rams are cool! The prices these
original setups are fetching these days, I'd keep the X-ram
until the dire end. What are the odds of getting another
in a price range you can either afford or want to pay?
Steve

Everyone likes the cross ram, so I'll diverge. The xram is neat, but since I'm an originality fanatic, it would be difficult for me to install. I know it's easy to change back, but it's one of those grey areas since it was never factory installed. The only way I could use one is if I had dealer docs supporting it. Many don't share my opinion, I know.

I can't say sell it though, unless you really don't want it on the car. It's a lot easier to just go out and make more money than to find some of this stuff!

Dave

-------NOS complete crossram with a couple of spare pieces was available at Carlisle with an NOS hood for a paltry $25,000. Theres a reason these units are so valuable. More people want them than there are set-ups. I say keep the X-ram and tell me about your boat. Any chance its a DONZI?........Bill S

No, the boat is just a 13' Boston Whaler Rage jet boat. It's only worth $4K but I might have a buyer for it. Then I can focus on selling the 68 Camaro.

1968 Camaro with 94 Impala SS LT1/4L60E and converted to 4 wheel disc brakes. Recent paint, but not a show winning paint job. Solid car built in LOS and spent most of it's life out west. Still needs finishing(needs a speedometer hooked up, needs gauges, needs headliner installed, it could use some programming to adjust idle. I have new kick panels and console OD conversion kit on the way. Fun car. Asking $13,500 obo.
Here's a link. 68 LT1 Camaro

Tough decisions Jeff! I think you need to be honest with yourself regarding your financial situation and what really turns your crank with respect to the car. If the car had some T/A history with a crossram etc. I would definitely think twice about selling the crossram set-up. However, if it was a street car for its entire life I would restore it to its original, as-delivered to the dealer condition. The fact that it's a numbers matching, documented JL8 is where the value and interest would be for me. If you sell the '68 what are you going to drive for fun? I doubt you'll be putting too many miles on the JL8 from what you have posted about it. Just my thoughts, good luck with your decision
