Title: Typical price value for a 67 convertible.
Post by: 67CruiseMaster on May 10, 2018, 12:13:29 AM
Guys can someone tell me what a typical price for a 67 vert. Yes I know it depends on options. The car I'm looking at has power top, RS, air, deluxe interior, gauges and v8. It has typical rust in floors, trunk and quarters.

Thank looking forward to your replies

Rest of body ok with no rust?  Condition of engine, trans, interior, paint?

Pics would help a little.

Rest of body seems to be ok. It needs resto. Non matching motor and trans. 10 bolt rear. Needs lots of interior parts replaced. Car is mostly original except for the seats. Someone bought cheap seat vinyl and put that on. Wondering a rough guess for value as I'm going to fly to Cali to look at it.

I am thinking, but I don't follow convertible prices that closely. Will respond later.

BTW, the link in your signature does not seem to work.

I just helped my neighbor purchase a 1968 RS convertible. I am in the know on prices after looking for him for a year.
For this car no more than 15k.
(btw his car had no rust penetration, just scale and corroded fuel and brake lines. $14k)

No problem.
Oddly for plain jane cars, hardtops seem to eclipse convertibles right now in camaros. In early Mustangs the convertible was King for a long long time, within the last year or 2 fastbacks are commanding more money. (like for like condition)

  How much are they asking?

Asking price...? I prefer not to say. Its a deal though in my opinion. I had an early Sept 66 build RS/SS and it was a loaded car. But due to a divorce it was either I give my ex the Camaro or my Z06 Vette. I chose to give her the Camaro. That car had everything, including original cruise control and tilt wheel. The guy who owns it lives here is Utah still and wanted to sell it because it is taking a lot of money to finish. Probably because I have most of the parts to finish it in my possession. I documented that car fully with all the stampings and date coded things. Helped Kurt with some research too on the trunk lid and seat belt fact gathering. I'm really hoping that this vert I posted here materialized for me for purchase. Everything is aligning for closing the deal. Once I have the car then I will do the same as I did with my other one documenting everything. Thanks for your reply.

Don't know the value, but it sure has nice options and colors!

Post by: bcmiller on May 10, 2018, 03:42:18 PM
Maybe $10-12k.

Non SS, rust and and non original drivetrain hurt it. Options help. Very subjective though. Would be better to evaluate the rust with a personal inspection on site.

Looks to be a 4P on Trim Tag, so SS?

RS badging on center cap of steering wheel, fuel cap, and hood would be incorrect then, probably more I missed.  So I'm thinking not, maybe an L30 if it is a 4P.  More likely a 4F remote driver side mirror but pics are distant.  Hard to tell what is on the TT in position 4.

Might be 4F. I need a better pic.

Yes its a 4F in that position.

Post by: 67CruiseMaster on May 10, 2018, 11:25:39 PM
bcmiller, I will be flying soon to check out the car. You're correct best to inspect it in person. But everything is checking out for me so far.

Are those white stripe inserts wide for a deluxe interior? They look like they are repro compared to original cars that I have seen.

Post by: Everett#2390 on May 10, 2018, 11:47:20 PM
Yes, I see 3L is prevalent, steering wheel button and back-up lights below bumper.
Nice in seeing Montgomery Wards Body side molding.

Post by: bcmiller on May 11, 2018, 01:10:28 AM
My estimate could be higher or lower depending how an inspection would turn out.

Check the most like areas for rust issues, frame rails, shock towers, subframe in addition to floors and trunk.

Post by: BULLITT65 on May 11, 2018, 01:18:34 AM
I thought your estimate was pretty close based on the pics presented. (hopefully that is the extent of the rust). A 67 in general will pull slightly more than a 68 (like for like). But with non original drive train, non-SS, automatic car, there isn't a lot IMO that is going to drive the price/value way up. I do like the color combo, and the RS package looks great for 67 an 68 Camaros.

Looks like someone tried to imitate the factory seat covers, probably back before they started reproducing them.

Another way to look at it is what would the car be worth all repaired to the way you want it.  Then figure how much it would cost to get there.  Figure the difference and then there is your price to pay.

But it really comes down to what you are comfortable with and what you want.  The options are great on this car. Being an automatic doesn't bother me a bit, but it may for some. Should be a great car for cruising and having fun if you get it for the right price.  Let us know how things turn out.

Thanks for the input guys. Agreed that price to pay is what I am comfortable with and a price point. Also agreed the colors on this car are very nice. Deepwater blue/white top/bright blue interior. Found out the car does have power drum brakes and folding rear seat. The interior is surely a copy job from way back before the seat covers were available. I am not sure about the top yet. Looks as if it was replaced. I will know in a couple of weeks. Those wheel covers are original P01 wire wheel covers. My understanding that they were not available with power disc brakes though. Only rally's were available with PDB according to CRG research.

Rally wheels came with J52 front disc brakes in 67. Rally wheels were not required if you had power drum brakes.

Does the car have front disc brakes?

137,163 Camaros received the P01 wheel covers in 67.

I don't have information on the brakes, only what I see in the engine compartment with the booster and master cylinder. Looks as if its power drums

Here is the vin tag for this car. Seller would not bring his price down to make a deal.

If you have passed on the car, can you report the price you passed on?

Post by: 67CruiseMaster on May 23, 2018, 10:15:02 PM
He wanted 16.5k. Close to impossible to communicate with him. Flaky fella.
Title: Re: Typical price value for a 67 convertible.
Post by: BULLITT65 on May 23, 2018, 11:15:07 PM
So did you end up flying out there, and then couldn't close the deal?
Or did it not get that far?

I had a plane ticket to fly out. But I could not get ahold of him to schedule the showing. We previously had an arrangement, hence why I booked my plane ticket. Once I got ahold of him, I explained that the market is saturated with verts here and he needed to adjust his price. He came down about 1k, but then hesitated and said he was firm on his 16.5k. I told him that its not worth that. Its also why he has had it advertised for over 8 months. Since searching here and the west coast, I found the Tuxedo Black car. Doesn't have the options that his car had. But I feel that I will just as happy none the less. Black cars as you have said are rarer in color and are very desirable. I also found another car which I posted the Vin and trim tag in decoding forum. Please comment on that.

Yes Kurt. Why did you repost it? Didn't I do it correctly? I see my 09C build Emerald turquoise seat belts made it into your belt research post. Nice.

You posted a pic of the VIN, but a search would not have seen the VIN.

Kurt posted the VIN in text. A search will find that.
