I doubt you going to find a quality job at either of these places for 25K.
Maybe spend that much at a shop after you buy a car, but 69s have passed that mark now.
I am seeing pure junk bringing 12-15 now.

you just missed the Charlotte Auto Fair:

http://www.charlotte-autofair.com/

the "boutique" muscle car shops (e.g. Mershons) charge top dollar...

I've seen good deals on http://www.racingjunk.com/

anyone who has a 1st gen camaro knows what they have and expects
crazy $. not always true for Novas -- the local paper could yield
a good deal for those.

best of luck.

Thanks guys.
Im open to 70 - 73 camaros, 67 -72 novas, 66-67 chevelles.

Im amazed at how much people pay for pure junk. Wish I never sold my 69 rs/ss 5 years ago. How much would you have to pay for a nice car, any of my choices above ?

The only piece of advice that I would offer is to really focus on finding a car with a solid body and undercarriage...
Rust free...
You will never regret spending money on a solid car!
It is very easy to get lured into buying a car that has fresh paint, nice wheels and a fresh looking interior.
Only to find out later that the floorpans,frame,trunk are rusted and the body panels are full of bondo..

Are you looking for something that's totally finished, or a car that still needs a little bit of work? I'd be willing to bet that you're not gonna find a properly restored, fast, pro touring type 69 Camaro that's completely finished for $25k. But who knows, you may get lucky. Also, how far are you willing to go to get it? I had to go ~850 miles to get my car, but you can try to find one close to you if you want; it just might take a little longer.

http://www.camaroworldinc.com - a shop in Dallas that buys/sells cars, parts, etc. for Camaros (and other cars as well); my experience with them has been that they're pricey and not always overly friendly

http://www.ctcautoranch.com - a place outside Dallas that's got a bunch of project cars for sale; I doubt you'll find what you're looking for here, as these are project cars, but I thought'd I'd post it anyway

http://www.ebay.com - self explanatory (since no one's mentioned it yet); I'm guessing you've probably already thought of this one

http://www.camaroz28.com - a site with message boards - check their classifieds for camaros of all years

http://www.lateral-g.net - a site similar to Pro-Touring.com; check their classified section in the forum

http://www.officialbaldwinmotion.com/ad.htm - Baldwin Motion website :lmao: :rotfl: just kidding....

http://www.collectorcartrader.com - the older car version of Auto Trader

Those are all I can think of right now. Sorry for the Dallas-biased links as well; I don't know that many non-internet-based places that aren't around here. Hope that helps!
