I am curious as to the method that everyone has used to find their current camaro.

Thanks
Sean

Carfind.com

I did a search for 67-69 camaro.
and got a bunch of them all over the country

I used the GoTo.com link that used to be on this forum and did a search to find mine.

Dean

I used hemmings and special interest auto
It took me about 8 months to find the car

Black 69 camaro

I was driving to get a router bit one Saturday morning, and was behind this bitchin' 68 Camaro that I had NEVER seen before. I followed it for a while, but then had to turn off where I was going. On the way back home, I saw the same Camaro sitting in the parking lot at the gym. I pulled in to look at it. The guy was still putzing around getting ready to go inside the gym. I got out & talked with him for a while, praising him on how nice it was... He told me it was for sale. I asked how much... my mouth dropped with how low (for the condition it was in) he was asking. I tried to buy it that very same day, but ended having to wait a week (for him to get his stuff together).

My friend came up to me and said one of his budies wanted to sale his camaro. I looked at the car and bought it a week later. Now the guy calls me every month asking if I will sell it back to him. He's even offered me two times what I paid him to buy the car back. Somethings you never miss until there gone.

8 month search of every single 67-69 camaro for sale in Arizona. Even went to Southern California looking. Finally found a 67 rs in the Phoenix paper, woke the people up at 6:00, got there at 7:00 AM and gave the guy a deposit. I was at his house later that day to do paperwork and the phone never stopped ringing. 67 RS royal plum/parchment.

traderonline.com is the how I found mine. They are national and are pretty popular. Monitor your local Auto Trader publication every few weeks also.

Well, I guess I got mine a little different. I had a 75 Camaro bought in NH, all rusted out. I needed a replacement, esp since it had a 6 cyl. when I lived in FLA, I had seen a Camaro sitting in some guys yard from the interstate for months. I finally went to ask about it, and it was on a flatbed 15 minutes from going to the crusher. It was NOT in good shape, but the body was solid. It had been sitting there for a year in floridas sun, rain and humidity with the windows down. I paid him scrap price and hauled it off. In the 7 or 8 years since then, its had a lot of work and combos, several engines, transmissions and rearends. redone interior, under the hood looks and runs like a showcar, the car would look like (if they had made them) a 76 Z28 if it weren't for the primer! Not the same class of car as the others here, but its been a lot of fun and is still a work of love, labor, cash, art, fustration, and a need for speed, as I'm sure all the others are!!!

My lumber salesman new I was looking for a 69 Camaro and he knew a guy about 20 miles away that had one and was semi interested in selling it. My wife and I went to look and when he opened the garage door our eyes almost popped out of our heads. We took it for a drive and we wanted to make an offer right then and there. We new we had to compose ourselves. As nice as it was , we did not wast to buy the first one we saw, so we thanked the guy and left. After searching local car showes, the local paper auto trader Hemmings for about 3 months, I even went to a goodguys show at Charlotte Motor Speedway on a weekend I happened to be in North Carolina. I found cars that were nicer but alot more money. The more cars I looked at during my search the more I wanted the first one we drove. I told my wife I wanted to buy it and she started with the "no not now, we better wait". The next day I came home from work and it was sitting in my driveway!!!!!!!! My wife bought it for me.

i saw the car setting in a parking lot for sell, so i went over and got the phone number for it and looked over it a little bit, called the lady talked to her about it and then later that night me and some friends was over looking at it and some other kid had called about it and asked her for a test drive, well she thought it was me and asked me if wanted to take it for a ride so i said ya, took it for a ride and wanted the right then, but then later that night the kid who wanted to take it for a test drive came up and asked if we saw the lady and we said no, and told him he should not buy the car. it was kinda funny

After over a year of looking at 20+ cars trying to find an unmolested 69Z (that hadn't been tubbed, slammed, with a blown big-block sticking through the hood), finally found mine in the Chevrolet corporate display at the Woodward Cruise a year ago. 2-owner car, 32K miles, from Toronto, stored in the original owner's house (next to the pool table in the lower-level walkout rec room) from 1978-1993, never saw rain, salt, or snow. Canadian-delivered new, now have all original documentation, nothing done to it from new except tires, belts, hoses, and battery. Sheer luck http://www.camaros.net/forum/smile.gif

I went down to BFE and saw my car for the first time. I wanted one in better condition, but did not have the money. I orginally said no, but I had been driving my wife nuts for 9 months looking for a 69 Camaro and was told (more like ordered) by her to buy the car. You have to love wives.

found it in a classic car showroom in '92. they wanted 12,000 but we got them doun to 9800. its now appraised for almost 30,000. not to shabby! i was torn between a 1970 buick gsx stage 2 and a big block camaro. the big block had strees cracks in the roof and the gsx was to expensive. the dealer told my then inexperieced butt that " when the top ges down the value goes up!" good thing he was right!

Long story short…
I was a bad guy and told a friend that after I did my “time” for the county that I would buy the car. 6 months later (1/3 off for “good behavior”) I had saved up enough money (work ferlow program) and paid for it when I got out. That was 4 ½ years ago.
Thank God for striating me out, and getting me this car.

just checked the Washington Post classifieds every day for 6 months.

I was in the Air Force at the time and did some time in Saudi Arabia and Turkey when I got back I had 2 grand to start with. I savd my money all summer long and looked rentlessly for a 69 RS with a cawl hood. I checked all the papers and loked on trader online almost every day. As my bank account grew the more excited i got because i knew i was closer to makeing my dream of owning a 69 RS come true. Finally after I had saved up $8000 I found one on trade online for $9500. The only problem was that i was in panama city Fl and the car was in Norfolk virgina. I e-mail the guy and i saw a few pics and fell in love with her and decided that this was the car for me. I didn't have a car at the time so i talked a buddy into letting me drive his car all the way to Virgina. So me and a good friend drove up there and looked at the car and when i first saw it i all most wet my pants. The car was beatiful with a dark red metallic paint and silver Z stripes and even a factory cawl hood. The guy who owned it had been drinking all morning and I offered him 8000 CASH and he took it. After all the paper work was signed i pulled out of his drive way and light em up for him and drove home a very very happy man.

I jumped the gun and got screwed.....my dumb a$$ mistake. Got a "pure 69 SS" that somehow originally came off the line with a six cylinder....hey maybe it's one of those cars that the GM workers helped out a friend and put SS badges, trim, cowl hood, disc brakes and passed it off as a six banger model. Can't really complain, the price was right and it does look and run good.

'72Z & '67 Chevelle.com (http://communities.msn.com/Classic67Chevelle)

I looked for a year, in Hemmings, local trader, national trader, etc. Looked at quite a few cars, all over the east coast. Finally found a car right in Chattanooga...been sitting in a High School auto body shop, on jack stands, for 12 years. Plain Jane, that I'm converting to Yenko clone. The car was cheap, and virtually rust free, but it is doubtful it will be a good investment. It will always just be a "fun" car. my advice would be to get as complete, and rust free car as you can afford. In fact, I'd spend more for the right car, because restoring it will cost you less, and restored, it will be worth more.

Another tidbit. Join a club, and become active, even without a car. Club members often know about cars that might be available, even though they have not been advertised.

I had no idea of what type of car I wanted, but I did know that it would be a chevy..
so I asked my friend if he knew where i could get a 327ci to do up while i decide..
he said "I have one in my shed you can have.." That was too easy... After I decided i wanted the first year of the camaro, 1967..
I asked the same guy, "do you know where i can get a 67 camaro?" He said my brother has one he wants to sell... What a great friend to have...

I was at home bored late one night surfing the web and looking at junk on ebay when I came across the camaros page. I had always liked the first gens, but had never thought about buying one until then. It probably wasn't the best way to do it since I didn't know anything about cars or what I was looking for , but I figured, what better way to learn? Well, thanks to you guys and MANY hours in the driveway and garage, I've been learning ever since (and loving every minute of it...well, almost every minute http://www.camaros.net/forum/wink.gif ).

I was at work sitting reading the paper. I was not really looking for a car but had a few minutes extra and checked out the Antique's section in the classifieds. There it was: 68 RS SS Conv. BB. The rest is history and a lot of checks written.

I was looking hard for a 67 Rally Sport on the internet. Every good one I found was sold when I called about them. After exhausting all the common "camaro for sale" pages, I just did a search one day on 67 Camaro and I found one at a car dealership in Illinois. I loved the picture of it, and I called about it immediately. It was SOLD. CRAP! Well, I called back to the same guy a few days later, and it was back on the market again! The person who was buying it couldn't come up with the cash. I asked him to email some more pics of it, and he did. I wired the money to him the next day. Turns out I did great! The car is a true RS PG 327 car with 72,000 original miles. The interior looks brand new and has never been replaced. The body is in great shape as well. The car runs nice, and looks cool. The chance I took was a big one. I bought the car without ever actually seeing it in person, and boy am I glad I did! I wouldn't advise anyone to do that, but it just worked out for me this time! BTW, The car has already drawn about 10 offers since I bought it two weeks ago. NEVER will I sell it!!

I got mine in 1980. It was auctioned off by the U.S. government in a sealed bid auction. It had been sitting in a parking garage in downtown Detroit from 1970 till I bought it in 1980. It had 16,000 miles on it. It was rough but fairly complete and solid. I paid $2350 in the auction and have had it ever since.

i spent 3 years in high school looking for one that met my standards, and ended up finding one for 2500. had a 350 w/flat tops and was .060 over, balanced and blueprinted in plastic, never put together. got a th400, gm cowl hood (never on the car), and a/c. sadly this was only an rs, and had originally come with a 327, but i dont mind the 350. The father of the man i bought it from had been collecting parts for 8 years to put together his dream car, and enough parts and options to allow me to put front power disk brakes on two of my 67's and power steering on the other, i got a fold down back seat, and a set of rallys that had never been taken out of the box. like i always say...good things come to those that wait. i'm just glad that i didnt buy the hunk of garbage that i had looked at a week before.

I had to marry to get it. No seriously my wife and her sister drove it(67 conv) to college everyday on their commute. They bought it in 1976 from a dealer. Their choices at the time were a Buick Skylark or Camaro. I'm sure glad they picked the Camaro. I guess if you look at it, there really wasn't a choice. Funny thing though they washed it and the paint came off, quick inferior paint job to sell it. My wifes twin sister got married and my wife got to the car. I teased her and said that if the car didn't come with her the wedding was off. Been 21 years now and I got the better end of the deal, great wife and cool car. What did she get, ME! http://www.camaros.net/forum/biggrin.gif Pete

I met this guy in high school who would tool around in his dad's '67. We became great friends. In college, he bought the car from his dad. I told him to never sell this car, but if the day came, PLEASE call me. A couple of years ago, the car had lots of little things wrong with it and he wanted to move on. So after waiting about 20 years, I was able to finally get a really neat Camaro!

I worked with a guy during the summer of 84. I told him how much I liked his car and if he was ever to sell it I would appreciate first crack at it. For the next couple of years I would drive my friends and girlfriend by his Dads house where it was stored on the driveway. Then out of the blue in 87 he called and said she was for sale and I was 1st on the list of many who are interested in her. I was there 1/2 hour later with $3500 in cash opened the hood looked around the car and it was mine. I didn't even fire it up. But it's a loaded 68 RS/SS 396 that came with all the original goodies. I love her but now I'm broke cause of her, but hey that's life!!!!!

looked though many diff. publications hemmings , special interest , newspapers , ect. went to many shows and meets spread the word of what I was looking for , and one day BAM ! a guy I work with said he saw the car I was looking for about two towns away from work ,went there that night after work and bought it towed it home the next day . you never know were you will find what your looking for ,Im looking for a 69 charger RT for my brother inlaw right now , so spread the word and dont give up . 69 Camaro SS Ragtop restord and lovin it

Well, actually I was looking for a 65 Mustang fastback. It's kinda funny though, being the impatient guy I am, I only looked for a car for one weekend. I decieded to look in the local newspaper and the Auto Trader. I looked at 3 crappy Mustangs that weekend. I couldn't believe what people were asking for bondo filled, rusty, rod knocking Fords.

Well Sunday afternoon rolls around and I still hadn't found my Mustang. I decieded to take one last look at the Auto Trader to try and find a car. Luckly, my wife helped me search the magazine this time. She pointed out an all oringinal 68 RS Convertible with 210 HP 327 and a PG transmission. I told her that if I wasn't going to get a Mustang, I wouldn't mind looking at that car.

We drove way out to Antioch that day to look at the car. The lady selling the car said that she had lots of calls on it, but nobody had driven out to see the car. She wanted $7500 for it. This lady didn't even bother to wash and vacume the car! I told her, I only have $5700 to spend, she took it without hesitation. I couldn't believe that I spent all weekend looking for a Mushtang and wound up buying a Camaro.

Thank God I married a woman with some common sense. I don't know what I was thinking when I thought I wanted a Mushtang. Forgive me.

A friend told my wife about seeing a 69 Z28 on HWY 13 in Smyrna, Delaware. I live about 10 minutes from there in Clayton, Delaware. Went to look at it, got all the particulars from the owner, immediately gave the owner a deposit to hold it and began asking people in the know many, many questions and a week later it was in my garage. X33D80 1969 Cortez Silver, black vinyl top, black standard interior, all guages with console, with 350 engine...original engine gone, 12bolt 4.10, M20, cowl hood. $8000.00 excellent condition.

1969 Cortez Silver Z28

I had an old '68 Cougar that was a piece of sh@% but I bought it because it was a good deal. The lesson I learned from that was never buy a car just because you think it's a good deal. Ya gotta like the car enough to want to work on it.

Anyway, my brother-in-law calls me up and says he saw this black '69 camaro that was sitting in this guy's back yard that he had bought some parts from. He thinks it's pretty sweet and the price is right - am I interested? Since the '69 Camaro is/was my favorite car, I of course say yes and when can we go look at it. He calls me back a couple hours later and says it's sold. Most depressing.

Then he calls me the next day and says he's feelin' bad - he was the one who bought it. http://www.camaros.net/forum/rolleyes.gif So he says if I want it I can buy it from him for the same money he paid for it. He trailers it over and I take a look at the ding and rust free body and buy it. Can ya believe my brother-in-law would buy a car out from under me? I still give him a hard time about that one.

Goot my 67 RS/SS/Convert in 1971 after having bought a new 70 Chevelle Concours Wagon. 307 engine started burning oil real bad at 5000 miles, took it back for new rings and they gave me the Camaro as a loaner. 3 weeks later, I went back, bad mouthed the crap out of the car and bought it for $950.00. Just finsihed a body off restore and am enjoying the hell out of it.
Cheers,

My wife actually found our car. She worked in an east Phx. neighborhood and found it sitting under a carport just gathering dust. We stopped and asked if it was for sale. Owners response was "As a matter of fact it is, but it won't be cheap." In talking with this person we found out it was a 63,000 mile matching number ALL original ( paint, engine/trans, interior) 68 SS 396. Needless to say when we were told of this "expensive" price, we snapped it up as quick as we could!

A friend of mine had found a 69 plain jane wiht a 6 cyc. in it and bought it. It took me about a week to talk him out of it. The hard part was to get my wife to agreed to let me have it, but her birthday was coming up so guess what she got for her birthday present and I havnt drove it since. http://www.camaros.net/forum/wink.gif
The 67 that I just got took about three yrs of pestering to get, but out of the blue the guy calls me and says I have first shot at it. The reason he was selling the car is that he just bought a 94 camaro and needed money for the down payment. If it were me I would have put the money into the 67. To each his own I guess

I sold a 70 RS non matching Camaro that I owned for 8 years. I really wanted a 69 RS/ something (SS Z). My freind and I looked at about ten cars over a period of 6 months, all junk.

I went to the store Monday morning to pick up a Want Ad Press and read 1969 RS/SS Camaro numbers matching $5500, it was the first day the ad ran. My first thought was here we go again another junker to look at, but we went anyway. I didn't even bring money for a down payment.

As we were driving to see it my freind said oh I think this is the car you will get. I was the first one there my buddy and I looked the car over and decided this IS the car I should get.

That was Oct 1995 and after a five and a half year restoration She's a real beauty if I do say so myself.

It seems that the harder you look the harder they get to find. My wife spotted ours sitting on the side of a farm road and made me go buy it. (OK maybe she didn't really MAKE me buy it).

68 Camaro, 383 small block with TH350 trans. 12.2's and never trailered.

Y'all gonna hate this... I hadn't owned or considered a classic for about 20 years when one day at the 7/11 I picked up a local car trader magazine. It had a picture of a 68 RS ragtop on the front page. It occurred to me my daughter would turn 16 in a year so I thought that would be a neat car to let her drive to high school (plus give me an excuse to buy it!) Called the guy that evening, met him at his office the next morning which was Xmas eve and bought it on the spot. Now I'm hooked again.
P.S. daughter went off to college this fall (Mizzou at Columbia). The camaro is still in my garage!

Found mine at the local best buy parking lot. Made my girlfriend stop to look at it and we started fighting and left. Drove by a couple weeks later and saw it was still there. I actually had a 68 mustang lined up and was waiting for the guy to come home from vacation. I stopped and checked out the camaro and test drove it. Later that morning I got the call from the bank saying my loan was approved. They kept loosing my information had to apply 3 times? Kind of took that as a message that I should get the camaro since I loved my first one so much. Well My girlfriend Yelled at me and told me how immature it was to buy the car and that she hated it. Now her and my mother fight over who's car it is and who gets to drive it. I thought it was my car http://www.camaros.net/forum/confused.gif

When i first wanted a car, i was really into 5.0's. took six months but finally bought one from my uncle for 2,000, had that for a while fixed it up and crashed it street racing! traded it for a slow @$$ 86, olds 442, fixed that up and traded it for a 71 ghettofied cutlass, silver with white stripes, white top, white interior with matching silver pinstripes and a chevy 350, it looked like it had been nice one day but was run down, fixed that up and sold it for 4,500 to some guy with gold teeth that had all the money in hundreds in his sock, didn't even test drive the car! bought a super clean 70 monte carlo, from neighbor built a 355 that i eventually took out and replaced with a strong 350, after lots of work sold a really nice car for 6,500, sold the 355 for 1200, bought a 84 honda accord for 1200 from same neighbor, then bought a 71 camaro that i have dumped ridiculous amounts of money into from a good friend that he also dumped a lot of money into, and still having problems!!!!Some days just want to drive it off a cliff. but saved a looooottt of money doing work myself, also my work is better than a lot of prof. mechanics out there, seems like the good ones cost about 100 an hour.

A friend of mine told me about an "old Camaro or Chevelle or something" that a kid he knew was selling cheap cause it was "blown up". I went to look and found a nice 68 Camaro with a leaking freeze plug and a shredded tranny cable. Gave the kid $600.00, J-B welded the freeze plug, jump started it, clicked it in gear and drove it home.

Lucky you, thats pretty good!

spring of 99, i went to look at a house that i was going to rent with my cousin, and after i left there, i went to the mid-MN used auto parts(junkyard) mecca- French Lake Auto Parts.went there to walk around in the hundreds of acres of old cars and kill an afternoon, but when i drove in i saw it- in the used car lot. blue and white 71 nova. california car-still had the plates on it. look underneath-looks brand new. pop the hood- clean, all original 307 with 64000 miles. interior nice-except the dash. talk to the guy, and bought it 3 days later for asking price of $2500-well, i traded non running 78 trans am and $1600 cash. i now have over 13k into it, and never have i regretted spending a single dollar on her. maybe someday i will paint her and make her pretty.

This is an old story, but I remember it like it was only yesterday http://www.camaros.net/forum/smile.gif

The year was 1982 and my wife's cousin had a beautiful gold '70 Camaro w/silver seats from an '80 Camaro. It had been sitting out in front of his trailer for a few weeks without moving. Finally we asked about it, and he said that the engine was locked up. Asked him if he wanted to sell it, he said "Sure, $500 and it's yours". We towed it over to our trailer. That same day, I replaced the starter (probably $25), drove it back over to his trailer and told him what had been wrong with it ... man was he pissed off http://www.camaros.net/forum/smile.gif

Drove it for a couple of years before trading it in on a '75 Trans-Am (we wanted air conditioning).

Some guy's at work knew I had a69 in pieces,and wanted to know if I'd like a 67 a freind of theirs had .he brought some pic's of it when he rebuilt the motor,it was nice .
But,it had been setting out side near the water for 5 years. went to look and saw a 4 speed muncie and started thinking parts.
put a hot shot on it and it fired right up .
I figured I could resell it at aprofit for the 69. when I went to pick the car my wife thought it was cool and wanted it .so we kept it and started working on it and forgot the 69 just before it got painted my wife decided she wanted the 70 BB camaro I had just swapped the 69 for . so now 10,000 later I have a car that I orginal intened on selling . well at least I got to pick the color CREAM SICLE ORANGE!

Having owned a genuine COPO, a garnet 69 L-72, in the seventies, and having to sell it during a period of unemployment, I always in the back of my mind wanted to have another 69 someday. That thought took a backseat to marriage and fatherhood until I was 44 years old, and after searching for some time for just the right car, ironically I found it right in my hometown. A 69 SS, hugger orange, BB with a 4 spd. It's a non-matching numbers car, but that's not important to me. I drive the car a great deal and have a blast with it. And to me, that's what it's all about. It fulfilled a 25 year dream.

I bought my Camaro from a schiester dealer in Kentuckey...this jerk told me how honest he was, how religious he is blah blah blah....make a long story longer he put on a great front..he e-mailed me pics and a description of the car, and when I bought the car it was nothing like this a$$wipe said it was..THE MORAL OF THIS STORY IS, if you are buying a camaro from a dealer in KENTUCKEY be VERY CAREFUL&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;LOOK PAST THE PRETTY PAINT JOB AND YOU WILL FIND ALOT OF BONDO!

YIKES!!!!

a college guy, whom was my neighbor, had a 69 camaro with a 230 in it. He would come over to my garage and asked me to work on it, if there was aproblem. Over the years we got to be good friends, and when it was time for him to graduate, he had carb troubles and had to get home. So around 11:00 at night, he was pounding on my door and asked me to fix his car. I made a deal with him that if I fixed his car, it would be mine at the end of his school year and he agreed. Here the carb was falling off, and I tightened it up and drove it around the block and it was fixed.
250.00 dollars later, it was mine.

Found mine 17 years ago when my freinds dad bought it for a father son fixer. Kid didn't want it already had a sweet 69 Camaro. So his dad put a tarp over it and it sat 16 years to the month till I bought it.Guy never selles anything so I never asked. He wanted to know why I didn't ask sooner. Go Figure. Mine now.
A very complete 67 plane jane but soon to be the way I want it.
