[QUOTE=from64impala;1204678. Who is worth more in the end and who look better[/QUOTE]

Hard to say until the end is near.

You mean value between a Camaro and Chevelle? If that's the case ...Camaro all the way. Just look at the value of NOS parts. You never see quarters for a Chevelle 2500.00 to 3000.00 per side. (Priced is not the same as selling)Not to mention Chevelle parts in general dont sale for much as Camaro. :yes:

I like Chevelles:D, But they don't come close to the value of a Camaro after the restoration.

who is worth more in the end and who look better me!

This is a easy knock out first round choice. 70 chevelle wrinkle back!

Camaro all the way!!!! Post this same thread on Team Chevelle and see what they say.

They only built a Chevelle for 2 years 69 and 70. The others were design experiments and failed carry overs.

This is joke of course.....but a 70 is so sweet it will give you diabeties.

Which is worth more? ford escort or yugo?...hehehe

Actually they stopped making Chevelles after 67. Those bubble bodied 68s and up...im not sure what they are. :D

I may be biased, but a 70 Chevelle LS6 convertible has proven to sell for more money than a 69 Camaro convertible with any engine.
That said, I'd like to own one of each.

I think its a pretty common concensus the muscle car era reached its peak in 1970. The 60s were a continuous buildup to that point and after 70 things started to slide downhill and by 73 it was over. So, while im more of a first gen Camaro person, i think the 70 LS6 Chevelle was kind of the pinnacle car in the muscle car era.

And this is probably the part where the Mopar fans call me bad names... :)

I own both and I would say the average Camaro of 1st gen is worth more than the Chevelle of equal year and restoration quality. An average 69 Camaro small block is worth aounnd high teens and a 68-72 Chevelle in average condition and small block is worth abound 12k as a Malibu. Now you ad SS to any of them or engines and it's up in the air. Depends on the cars your comparing. I'll take either and make money on both ;-)

Had they built a 69 COPO Vert that may have been a different story .. as it is 69 COPOs and Yenko Camaros go for more than LS6 coupes , hands down

Bottom line is why not get the car you like better ? But if liquidity is an inssue a 69 Camaro is as solid as the car is

I saw a powder blue Chevelle on the lift yesterday. It had a new twin turbo (Nelson Racing Engines), new suspension with Hotchis, Caltracs.. I was told the guy has over $100,000 in the car. I bout got chocked up it was damn pretty. I don't know about "value" but when you say "Camaro" you say "Muscle Car".

Are you in it just for the $$$$, or the appreciation of the car in question? I think you will find most on this site are in it for the love of the car...so you will get as mentioned different perspectives depending on which site you end up on. No fight...just a bias.

How about a Camaro conv with the L89 in it? Or maybe the one and only 68 Z-28?

70' is the most sought after Chevelle by far.

The only two cars even worth comparing are the 69 rs ss and the 70 ss chevelle..all other year camaro's and chevelle's can not compare when they are done right..the 67 and 68 camaro wont bring the money when done the 68,69,71, and 72 chevelle's will not bring the money when done..if your going to buy or fix a droptop camaro makes sure its a 69, if your gonna buy or fix a chevelle drop top, buy a 70 ...

Compare or not...the best looking Chevelle was made in 1967. :thumbsup:

And thats not just my opinion...thats a fact. :D :D

I think it's really difficult to say this one is worth more than the other as there's other variables to take into account, eh? Like milelage/# built/year/degree of restore/the quality of the restore/#/type of options/date of restore/and even who previously owned the car (celeb-type), or if the car is an unrestored and in cherry condition compared to a restored one.

As pointed out already...you'd have to compare the two that would be almost equal in series...but for me it's like trying to translate from one language into another...at times they just don't equate. Sometimes it takes a movie/TV series to create an increased value.

Wow, for the first time that I can remember, I gotta disagree, Craig. The 66 has it all over the 67. I won't even consider a 67 Chevelle. I DID buy a 67 GTO tho......;)

Well, youll get little argument from me because i love the 66 Chevelles too. Splitting hairs between that and the 67 for me. (plus you were messin with me right? :) ) In fact, in one of my finer knucklehead moves i had the chance 2 or 3 years ago to buy my buddies 66 Chevelle (Malibu) seen in the pics below for a real decent price. Its not an SS but it was a very very Beautiful car. And of course i screwed up and let him sell it to someone else. :(

OUCH.............My dad bought an Aztec Bronze 66 Malibu with 283, 3 on the tree NEW. He finally gave it to me in about 78, when it was all used up and rusty. I waxed what was left of the paint, put a 300 horse 327 in it and SOLD it to buy a FREAKIN FORD pickup........go ahead and shoot me now. I still deserve it.

Perfect thread for the Guy with the username "Camaros-n-Chevelles" :D

Yea I guess Chevelles do make nice lawn ornaments. But I would still rather have a Camaro in my driveway.

I agree with Sparky the 69 camaro is higher dollar car if you're selling but IMO the 67 is the best built car.As for the chevelles 70 is the big money car unless you have a rare one like the copo or motion stuff.Both F and A body cars have been year after year top selling machines no matter what year they are.Just my 2 cents of opinion.Thanks!

You should have put one of these:boxing:along with the title of this thread!:yes:

This is realy hard to compare because its all in what you want or willing to pay.I have a 69 camaro and my son 14 wanted a 70 Chevelle not a Camaro because I have one.He does want his to be Pro-Street and is on the same page as me if its PS it draws his attention.

Better a Chevelle of any year than a fart pipe rice grinder....:yes: Hooray for him.

I say it depends on what you want to do. If you want to get a responsive muscle/sports car get the Camaro. If you want to go boating buy the Chevelle.:D

If you look at Auction prices on the most desirable cars they are about the same. I think a 1969 Camaro ZL1 sold in the last few years for just over a MILLION dollars , as did a 1970 Chevelle SS454 Conv. LS6 .
Either way , its what ever you like .. but there is no doubt about it - The TWO most popular cars on this planet are the 69 Camaro and 70 Chevelle...

No Bias here , as i already own the most desirable cars to me -

Ok the 70 LS6 convertible is worth a bunch of green stuff BUT wouldn't even come close to the value of a 69 Camaro L89 convertible. I think only 3 or 4 cars were produced. :yes:

Like i said , everyone will have a different view on which car is worth more., but have any 69 Camaro L89 Convertibles crossed any auction block for a MILLION or more ?
None that i know of.. so i listed Two that almost everyone knows the auction results for -
The 69 ZL1 and 70 LS6 Conv. both sold at auction for over 1 MILLION DOLLARS ...

I wanna start a fight ! ! ! - good title as every opinion will be different ...

I've got a pretty nice pro-touring 69 chevelle and a beater 67 camaro and for some reason I much prefer driving the noisy, rattling, hot camaro to the fast, comfortable, quiet, fuel injected chevelle. I love them both but hold camaros a little more dear to my heart. As far as chevelles go, someone mentioned it earlier: they didn't make one after 69 :stirpot:
