Idk. But my browser is warning me not to enter any information on that page because it could be stolen, the page isn't secure.

Says cars can be viewed in person. Where are they supposed to be located?

They don’t own any of these cars. They broker a deal after you buy it, legit, but a great business model to wet your beak into someone’s sale

Price wise it seems about right. The low resolution photo probably makes it look better than it is.

Doesn't send up any horrible red flags, however I'm not interested in buying it so I haven't tried to contact them and wouldn't know.

Could have a small block, auto, common model... etc. Says theft recovery also so maybe the interior or wiring has been damaged. Or interior gone... who knows.

The ones that go for money have a factory 383, 440, or Hemi with a 4 speed, matching numbers, etc. That's what a lot of those muscle guys want.

Oops, I mixed it up with the Charger for some reason. Chargers have gotten expensive but I'm not as familiar with Camaro prices. They are both pretty hot tickets.

Regardless 5-10k for a project car is not unheard of. It takes a while of searching and usually when they pop up for sale you better be ready to buy otherwise it will be gone by the afternoon.

Here's one that sold on Ebay for 12k. Looks kinda like a barn find of sorts too. I could see in a private setting if that guy didn't want to deal with ebay he might of sold it to someone local with a lot of interest for 8k cash. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1969-Chevrolet-Camaro-/294224097422?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286

If your ready to spend 6 then your half way there Wink

Heres an especially off topic little tidbit... It's not necessarily a highly sought after muscle car, but I got my 1964 Plymouth Fury Wagon for $2100 as a running project a few years back, and they go for 30-40k restored easy. Even though it's not as legendary as the Camaro or Charger or whatnot they are pretty damn rare they only made about 4,000 Wagons that year... I spent a year looking before I even found one for sale... that was the one I bought.

They used to make them into dragsters, and still do. There was a famous one called "The Draggin' Wagon"

Here' a video I found
