I really hopehe messed up and meant $2000. I don't know of a Camaro around other than a Yenko, ZL-1, or Nickey, that I would plunk $20,000 on.

I wouldn't pay $20k if it had 100 miles on it. 83Z, sorry nothing special, not even fast, so you're gonna have to rip the engine up some.

If it came with $15,000 in cash in the trunk, yes I would give him $20,000 for it.

I hope that ain't his reserve.....

I'd go for the 15,000 in the trunk There is no way I'd spend $20,000 on that. I posted a photo recently of my friends 1968 Camaro and it appraised for $20,000 the other day, here it is and I'd spend $20,000 on this:

Of course nobody will pay $20k for that car. That's why there's no bids. I do wish I had the money to buy the 83 L69 that showed up on ebay last year. It sold for $13.5k. It was a sub-10k mile L69 5 speed car. I absolutely loved it and would have spent the money if I had it and if I had a place to store the car.

But $20k for a 30k mile automatic? Hell no. It didn't even say which motor it had.

That 68 Camaro is actually painted Indigo Pearl, it changes color between a dark blue and purple depending on the light.

I knew it was just a matter of time until somebody commented about the car being slow. Believe it or not, not everybody bases the value of a car on its performance. A low mile thirdgen will always have a certain collectable value dispite not being the 1/4 mile terror that the newer Camaros are.

Obviously nobody buys that sort of a car becuase of it's blistering performance. Collectors and people that simply appreciate that type of car buy it, and are willing to pay big bucks. Not $20k, but big bucks just the same.

I thought that too at first, but then I read through some of it, and he has it on there as a Buy Now only item. didnt know you could do that, but apparently you can. One thing is for sure, he's insane wanting that much for it.

no way.........

not the lt5 either....the money that pretty little engine costs and the price to fix and rebuild after the problems would be insane. not to say it isn't cool to look at though!
