I will admit that I was on the fence but I think you guys have convinced me to get off the fence and stay in my own yard :)

I appreciate all the feedback!

Man o Man your 67 looks good, Darrell.   ;D

I would keep the 67, buy the 69 and look for more! Never can have too many, right?

That 69Z better have some iron clad docs or it will be harder to sell as a Z than a condom to a nun. Most that would buy your 67, would not care what engine was in it except that it ran, sounds like yours runs like stink! But a Z is a car that became legendary because of it's engine. A person wanting a Z, but short on cash, may buy a car with NOM, or, just as easy, they can slap some Z emblems on a reg. 69. But most who want a Z, and prepared to pay, want a born with drive train car. There seems to be an endless market for 1st gens. and there is one for almost any budget, but if your reason is that the Z might be a better investment with a greater return, I'd say fogettabout it.

That red headed 'kid' in the other blue 67, don't listen to him, he's huffed too many big block hydrocarbons! 69's rule!(All 1st gens rule!)

Everyone knows that 67s were great but the changes they made to the 68 made it even greater..  69 well they just missed the mark.. :o

And, Mr. Cook , your first Camaro just happened to be what year ? Lol -

I do agree you ought to keep the '67 - there are already 40,000 1969 Z28's on the road today. Trade a well optioned (and therefore limited production number) car for one that needs a bunch of labor and money invested in it ? That answer truly has to come from the heart - your heart. Looks like you can already enjoy the '7, why wait a long time to enjoy a car you might already experience ?

Tough decision - tell us what you decide to do.

Regards,
Steve

I agree on keeping your '67. That from a guy that has a '69 Z, but as stated previously, without the correct engine it will lose much value towards resale. Everyone expects a Z to be a screamer with the 302. It used to irritate the heck outta me in the early days, there was a guy who ran a half-baked body shop in my hometown and churned out Z clones right and left. He'd slap a paint-job and emblems on every Camaro he could lay his hands on. I'd try to get that Z and have them both, but....reality!

Thanks to everyone of you guys for all the input!   I am definitely going to pass on the 69. I have been back and forth on the trade lately but I am just going to keep my 67 and finish it someday.... Hopefully sooner than later!  Getting all of those options back together and working will be a nice challenge for me but it will keep me thinking  :o 
I know my 67 will be a fun driver when finished. My oldest daughter loves the first gen Camaros and has always had her eye on the 67 and now she is expecting her first little boy. So I think Papa knows who will get this one someday  :)
 
Gary, no, unfortunately the interior on my 69Z is standard 711 black. I would have loved the 720 though! I'm jealous of your RS and 720 interior  8)
 
Bryon, If the 69 is something you would be interested in for your father/son project let me know. I'm not sure he will sell it at this time, he like me was only considering the trade. He said he did not want to be without a first gen project but I would certainly check into it for you.

Thanks again, Gentlemen!

It comes down to what you want.  I  like both cars.  But I think you need some cash your way.  At least 4k.
