I am looking at a 1967 Converitble. The car is pretty solid and has had the floor and trunk pans replaced. It is a 4 speed with a 327 motor, but in not original to the car. The interior is original and will need replacing. The car need paint. It been stored for 20 years. It will need restoring, but you can drive now and restore later. The car is painted white, but the original color is yellow. The dog legs on fenders may need patch work. The engine will need refreshing. Can anyone tell me what it's worth. I saw the car on ebay. The item number was 150321205081.

Welcome to Team Camaro Jonboy!

Here's the cowl tag decode; the VIN wasn't posted so we don't know if it was a V8 or L6 originally.

Decode for body number: 137087

06C = Built the Third week of June.
67-12467 = Standard Interior Convertible.
NOR = Built in Norwood Ohio.
760 = Standard Black Bucket Seats.
Z = (A50) Strato Bucket Seats (without headrests).
Y-2 = Lower Color is Butternut Yellow and the Convertible Top Color is Black.
E = Interior paint is Black
Options:
2B = (M11) 3-speed floor shifter
2S = (U73) Antenna Manual right rear
3S = (Z23) Interior Decor group
3K = (Z21) Deluxe exterior trim

It ended about where it should be priced in the current market, maybe a little high IMO. That is one very rough old car, and is one to be inspected in person; there aren't many photos of the underside, and what I can see makes me want to go over it very carefully. White paint hides a lot of body work sins.

If he says "may need a rocker" it probably needs at least one rocker. On the 1st gen verts, the rockers are reinforced inside (compared to a coupe) and their condition is absolutely critical to the overall health of the car. Rust near the rear upper shock mounts can be a problem on these cars as well. Just from the lousy pics, it looks like it needs rear inner wheelhouses, and I would bet it needs a lot more.

No pics of the replaced floors or trunk says (to me, at least) that the replacement job was bad and will have to be redone. My 68 had a lousy, drop in the from the top floor pans replacement, and it should have been redone. Instead, I sold it and got my 69...

You're kidding yourself if you think that's a "drive while you restore" car; that car needs $10K to $30K worth of work by the time it's done.

If you want to pursue it farther, I'd ask here to see if a TC member close to Augusta, ME can go inspect it for you.
