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.

a freind of mine frequents the auction circuit around here he told me he picked up a 80Z28 and was going to restore it,then he called about a month later and said he was going to sell it i thought my brother in law may want it i called him and he said take a look for him i told him i would,well when i saw the car i sorta fell in love and ended up buying the car for myself then had to explain this to my bro.in law,he was a little upset but now its a ongoing joke between us.

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.

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

Trader on line.
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. |
