Advise please 69 Camaro or L-34 Nova or L-78 Nova

I think the 73 Z for the price would be a fun car and in 5 years make you a little money. Looking forward to those Selman frames.

That is the L-48 I was talking about. Nice car huh. The L-34 Nova in on the Auto trader website and is out of Washington.

The frames left Monday by UPS.

Thanks,the 73 cars are going to go up as younger guys start looking for cars and lets face it the first gen cars are out of range for young married fellows just stating out. Those 2nd gen. cars ride great down the road.

This one is pretty nice with the original drivetrain, dash-dash paint code with the deluxe LT interior, R/S front end, 4-speed, no stripes and factory power windows with no A/C. I had a black 1973 R/S Z/28 about 5 years ago and it took me almost a year to sell it for $17,500.00. It was a neat car but just did not get much interest when it came time to sell.

IMO, I would wait...you'll know when the right car comes along. It doesn't sound like any of these cars fits the bill.

Now, if I had to pick, it would be the '73 Z28. The early second gen. cars are picking up steam, I know, I've been trying to find the 'right' Pontiac Formula.

Mark,

I would really think hard before pulling the trigger on the 73. I have been dabbling in the second gens for a year or so, and for some reason (HP rating change?) the 73's seem to bring way lower dollars than the others. 70's bring in the most, 71-72's next and 73's are much less desired on resale. For that price, you should be able to find a 72 easily. For 25-30ish, you can find a 70 or 71 Z.

Now, conversely, if you are looking for a "I'll keep it forever" sort of thing, the 73 would be the way to go, it would be much less than the others.

I know some don't agree, but with prices the way they are, wait for the right car! Unless it is a COPO type car, the deals seem to be out there.

In fact, they just had a 69 Camaro L78, project yes, but a running driving project, sell for 27.5! That would have been a deal (IMHO)!

Like others have said, start with what YOU want, then look for something in that range. Post here when you figure it out, and knowing the guys here, someone will probably point you in the right direction.

Just beware of guys selling LM1's unless they are certified

My vote would have to go to the Nova.

I haven't seen any cars ever advertized as lm1's

It took me 25 years in this hobby before i found out on this site what an LM1 was, and now that i know,im not surprised it took 25 years
