WTB - Muscle Car (Pontiac, Chevrolet)

[92646]

There is 68 Z/28 project on Team Camaro that might work for you but I would recommend flying out to look at the car in person before you buy. I have made that mistake myself and it was not fun. Dana Hurt has the barn find black GTO that is on the site and you might want to check with him to see what he is going to do with it. The GTO might cost more up front but it will save you money in the long run and Dana is a first class guy to deal with.

For that price range you can probably find a nice 1974-1976 Trans Am or Formula or Esprit. The 74 to 76 cars are the least appreciated of the second gen Firebirds due to their love it or leave it 5-mph bumper/nose styling. The fun thing about Pontiacs is that all Pontiac V8s are dimensionally the same. So you can tell the onlookers that it's a Plain-Jane 350 when it's actually a bored out 455 hiding under the same valve covers. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]

just like what we did with my Gramma's car:

Hi all. I have not forgotten about everyone's great suggestions. After the holiday weekend I'm still sorting out a few of the PMs I received and all the posts here. I'm also at stress level 10 with my professional engineering exam approaching in less than 3 weeks!

Greg,

I have been in the market for either a '69 L78 Camaro or '69 Z-28 Camaro project, much like you describe, I'd love a complete car to start with or at least a real documented born with drive train car. I found a couple projects that did not suit me as neither had original drivetrains.

The L78 is a fathom green with deluxe interior car. Gauges, console, etc. Motor is an L78 out of a '69 Nova. The Seller has tons of parts to go with the car which is otherwise in pieces. Needs at least one quarter panel hung on it. He would take $16-17k for everything. It's located in the Seattle area.

The Z-28 is also fathom green. Body appears pretty solid. Non-original DZ302. Claims trans and rear are original. Its been sitting in a barn for 25 years. He would also take around $17k for it.

Like I said, I passed on both as I want a born with drivetrain and paperwork, and now I have temporarily suspended my search as my wife and I want to move to a different home with a dream garage for me, so I'm not buying anything until we've moved.

If you want me to put you in contact with the Seller on either of these cars, call or text me at 206-310-2153.

Here is the thread with some pictures of the Z-28 that can be bought. Also, a '66 Chevelle SS396 convertible and a '73 Z-28.
