I have yet to see a guy who says he has “all the parts@ have anything close to “all the parts”. If the frame is solid and you’re a shrewd negotiator, could be worth it.

Most of the parts means i've got part of the frame and 3/4 of the body.

Dont be such a pessimist, theres a transmission in the picture too.

My thoughts exactly. Maybe could get it cheap, who knows.

This man listens to VINWiki

Honestly not a bad price if it's not rusty and the body parts and bolts to put them on are all there.

Quarter looks rusted through but nothing too bad, I can weld in a patch.

Condition, condition and condition. You will need a first generation expert to determine what is missing. Is there any paper work?? Is it a z28 or ss?? That may make it more desirable. Buyer beware. Good luck

I would do it if he has the original engine and transmission.

So jelly.

Whatever your budget is, add 50%....then determine if you can manage it without it become a car that sits in your yard only to be sold to someone elese 5 years later in the same or slightly better condition.....I would love to do a camero, gto, etc, but realistically for my budget itll end up being a nova, g-body, of some off brand. However if you have the budget, time, and its decent enough for your skill level it would be a cool restore

Yeah you’re right. I definetly have the determination, but I’m just priced out of the market for first gen Camaro.

There are plenty of old school cars that would make great projects, and in the end it might be cool to have an off brand that isnt seen as much as some others. The other option is buy something already done. I saw a first gen prices at 28k the other day, there are financing companies that specialize in classic car financing.

First time on this sub but as someone who has gotten a vehicle in pieces to finish a restoration I can say that it is not fun piecing it back together. I'd say keep searching, try to find a car that might run given some work and have fun with it before doing a complete repair/restoration.

This would be my second project, I don’t believe this is out of my mechanical abilities. Thoughts? Haven’t seen any nearly this cheap and something closer to a shell like this would be perfect for my plans.

Has "most" of the parts is Craigslist lingo for he has next to no extra parts, and lost or broke all of the expensive rare parts

There’s other Camaros and firebirds in the back. I believe him.

If that's his specialty car, I'm sure he knows what rare parts to forget to give you. Make sure to read up on Camaro forums or get a buddy that's an expert

If you look at it, make sure to check out the rear frame rails. If they are rusted to bad or have holes the fix is to mount the body on a frame jig, cut the old ones out and weld in new ones. Would make a good project if all the pieces are actually there though

If you’re up for a long term project it looks pretty good. It’ll take a lot of time and money but this is my bucket list car so I’d do it. But if it’s not “the car” for you it’s a big undertaking and you can risk getting bored of it.

That thing will $100 you to death...if you want an old f-body, buy one that's all in one piece that maybe needs a drivetrain or something along those lines. You'll spend less in the long run and be able to enjoy it more quickly.
True. There’s a 68 nova and it’s all one piece, 350, 4 speed, for 6800. Needs new paint, but yeah. Trust me, after doing my first project I know exactly what you mean.
