Nice car with a great color combo. Interior is looking a little tired, and I'm not sure what the screws are above the 'Camaro' grab bar trim plate, but those are pretty easy fixes. Has the ubiquitous bodyside molding that all California cars seemed to have back in the 60s-70s (and they are typically riveted on, which is probably why they are still present on this car).

To me, this would would be worth low-to-mid $20s but judging by the tone of the seller's description, he thinks he has a gold mine. I'll be watching this one.

Neat car, I like it. Screws you noted are probably an attempt to tidy up a curled dash pad bottom edge.
Interesting that a 67-68 style of vinyl top was added to a non-VT car. Photo from rear show some possible bubbling underneath it though. Worth checking out, floor looks nice and solid.

Seat covers replaced as well as headrest covers. It looks to me like the Camaro emblem on passenger fender is crooked. I would then assume the fender was replaced. Cool car though. 20K ?

Nice looking from 20 feet away. Interior needs a lot of TLC and that vinyl top is an eyesore. I think the biggest problem with this car is the seller. Right off he's looking for an international investor. I feel this is a got to have it price of $18k tops. Nothing special base car that had a amateur restoration and needs more work. If I was looking, I'd be at $16k.

The side moldings are a bummer. Those don't look so bad on a 67/68, but they definitely don't work on a 69 with the body creases. You can see they had to compromise and put the molding slightly above the crease. That would drive me crazy to the point of wanting them off, even it it means repainting the car.

Agree with others that the aftermarket VT just doesn't work on the car. Otherwise a nice, solid car.

That's a nice clean car. Plain jane, but nice. $22k. Maybe as high as $25k.

Enlisted military owner. At least the owner in 2016 was if it's not the same person now. Replace that God awful white 68 style VT with a 69 black VT and it would look pretty good.

I had a 69 Yenko that Yenko had installed the same style 68 Vinyl top and I liked it better than the 69 style.
