Title: Project car
Post by: CamaroSas on September 01, 2014, 09:56:08 AM

Hello fellow camaro guys,

First i am a new to the forum, i am a 44 old dad, and live in the Netherlands. I have always driven Alfa Romeos, but now i want to make a old dream come true. Drive a Chevy Camaro :)
I have found a possible candidate for a project car.

http://cgi.ebay.nl/ebaymotors/1968-Chevrolet-Camaro-/231314893694?ssPageName=ADME:B:WNA:NL:1120&ViewItem=&item=231314893694&forcev4exp=true#ht_500wt_1414

Is somebody familiar with this guy, does someone live close to him who could check this car out? Could someone tell me more about it?

Sascha

It's definitely a project car, and it 'looks' like an AZ desert car.. most of the metal appears solid.

Questions you will need to answer:
1.  Is the car still in the states?  it appears to be in the photos..
2.  Are you looking for a 'project car' that needs a restoration?  This one certainly does, and will need a LOT of parts.
3.  If you do not have capability to do the restoration yourself, wouldn't it be better/(cheaper?) to buy a car that doesn't need so much work and parts?
4.  Wouldn't it be less expensive to ship in a complete car (needing no parts?) than to buy a body, ship it.. (probably same costs as shipping a complete running car?).. and then to have to pay shipping/duties on every part you buy?

I'm not in the Netherlands, so I'm not totally up on all the shipping details, but I do know it's expensive to ship across the pond, and most Camaro parts you'd be needing would originate here in the states..

A factory assembly manual for the appropriate year would be a wise choice along with a chassis service manual.  Jerry MacNeish's books are also very good. Jim
