At least that's how I hope it goes.
The car seems way too nice to pass up. No harm tucking it away for a little while until you finish the big block car.

I should call him in a week or so and see what he's thinking. It sounds like he's a very indecisive type. It would be real cool to see it go the way you described.

The guy is using it now as a weekend driver to take his girlfriend out to dinner and to get groceries. It is not garaged and he said that is one of the reasons he is thinking of selling it. So it could be taken care of better.

But I do believe that once you fire up the 454 and nail it youll be happy with what you got.
I think the bid of 35 is more than generious.
that isnt a barret jackson grade car at this point .
make sure to look up the stuff in the camaro white book i lent ya.
thats the camaro bible!

The 68 stays. It's the car I am planning on using for my casket...LOL. The 427 will be real nice as soon as the car is out of body and paint jail. I think you are right on the 35 price. If it gets fully restored there are some items that need to be replaced like smog, master cylinder, and I'm sure there is a bunch of other stuff. Thanks for the white book idea. So far I have been going mostly by Jerry Macneish's book "The Definitive 1969 Z/28-SS 296 Fact Book".
