Unless its a super rare car, and Documented,.... COPO, LS6 , Yenko , Baldwin or Z16 Chevelle, and even then you will likely only break even.....

I am restoring a 67 RS/SS L78, so I am well acquainted with the cost of restoration. When I say restoration I mean down to every last nut, bolt and split pin. To compound this cost I have to contend with international exchange rates and freight charges and then local tax. This means multiplying the cost of parts by 2 (at least). I can therefore definitely say that it is a labor of love......and frustration.
By the way does anybody know where I can get a OL code 4 core Harrison manual radiator.....apart from Heartbeat City Camaro?

Hi Jeff, Build date is May 67. Just to save you deciphering the id plate. Its Capri Cream, 4 spd, bench seat, 4.56/1 (factory option ordered not dealer offered , as you will know) rear end and California built. It has had 3 owners not including me and has been off the road since 1970. I am at the stage of putting the drive train back together. I have the original diff and a correct date coded gear box....motor long gone using a CE 427 69....The radiator is holding me up. I plan to change the rear end ratio to 3.7/1.
