Guys,

I have been reading this forum for several weeks now and extremely helpful information and most of all helpful people. I am about to start a project on a '67 convertible. I have had it since '87 and did an amatuer resto on it (where I changed the exterior to black) then and drove very little little up to '92 (47K orignial miles). Been in storage ever since. My Dad and I found this car next to a barn where it had been in storage since '73 (last time it was taged) where this guy had bought it for his son new and his son had an accident and damaged the front fender and valence. Other than that perfect car. Even put a battery and gas in it after 15 years and drove it home.
It is a 67SS350 Gold on Gold 4sp with standard interior and power top not many options beyond that. Yes it has all the numbers matching stuff.
My plans are to make it a protouring car. Already have a number of parts: built 406, Richmond 6sp, DSE rear suspension, tubs, Jakes front clip on the way and a few more things to buy interior etc.
Since I have began to sell off some of the parts (subframe) but before I move on I have a question.
I have the orignal 350, muncie and 12 bolt. Should I sell it as a set or individual? It has the matching numbers stamped on each. What do you think it is worth? Should I sell the whole car, not sure if it is anything special?

I know some think I am nuts but I just don't like the orginal ride etc. Thanks for your time

When I figure out how to post pictures I will.

Hey John welcome to the site and lets see some pictures :thumbsup:.

Numbers matching low mileage cars are get harder and harder to find and makes it more valuable.
I'm all for doing what you like to your car but if you sell all the "numbers" off you'll never get them back (better odds hitting the lottery for multi-millions) so think about that before you let go.

I agree with Doug. You may want to consider that you could get a pretty penny from someone for an original numbers-matching car. You could sell it and find another Camaro that you could set up as pro-touring. But the beauty is, its your car and you will decide wahts best.

Guys,

Thanks for the comments. I think I am going to sell off the engine, muncie and 12 bolt. It would take a lot to get it back to original and likely I would
not get much for the car right now in pieces. Hopefully these picture will work. If not here is the link.... http://s678.photobucket.com/albums/vv150/67ssconv/

Unless you absolutely need the money for the drivetrain, I would strongly advise against selling it. Put it away in a corner somewhere. Fads come and go in the automotive world, but originality always brings a premium. A 67 SS Convertible with the original drivetrain is pretty rare these days.

Well I think I'll hold on to the running gear after further feedback and thought. It does match the vin and likely to regret it. I will be smoothing the fire wall, DSE subframe connectors and tubs. Hope it won't hurt the value too much. Thanks again.

Welcome John ...

I think this is the right decision. Generally anything that can be relatively easily undone won't hurt the value too much. Be sure to leave the cowl tag alone when smoothing the firewall. Removing that has it's own issues that you've probably read about here.

Keep us posted on your progress!
