Looking for help in CA (Need someone to look at a '67 Camaro in Yuba City)

[MD88IROC]

Hi all, I was referred here for help in looking at a 67 Camaro in Yuba City CA. I was specifically referred to ViperBlue68, as he lives there, but I haven't had any luck in getting ahold of him. If there is anyone else willing to look at a car there, I would really appreciate it. I am in MN and obviously can't go see it myself. I am willing to compensate for time and gas.
Thanks, Mitch

Welcome to the site, Mitch. In order to net better results, I've moved this post into the open discussion section and renamed it for you.

Thanks, I wasn't sure where to start with this. :confused: I am hoping someone is near Yuba and see's this.

I live in Chico. I'm pretty busy with school and work but, if you are really serious about this car, shoot me a pm and we will talk.

i go up there almost every weekend. I could do it for ya. What's the cars decription, and who's the owner now? I probably already have seen the car or know the guy.

The car is on ebay, here's the link:

I talked to the seller yesterday....his name is Louis and he had the car shipped to him a couple weeks ago from TX ? He has other 1st gens that his fixes up and sells. If the car is as free of the usual rust issues as he claimed, then yes , I am going to try to buy it at his reserve price. If anyone knows of a clean 67 coupe down there to be had for a better price, by all means, let me know. I don't have a lot of choices up here and I really need a clean body to start with...I'm not a bodyman. Mechanicals aren't as important, as I intend to restore one like I would have ordered it. My top preference would be an RS with 4 speed and as many otions as possible, disc brakes, ps, console, gauges, but they usually go for more than I can spend.
Thanks for the responses, guys, I appreciate any help or insight you can offer, Mitch

Mitch,
I got your pm...I can take a look at it for you but not till the weekend because I'm usually at the office until 5:00ish so its dark by then...and it wont cost you anything either! If Tony is gonna be here over the weekend you might wanna let him check it out too...that way you get more than one opinion...I believe I have seen this car in town before :confused: just not positive...I'll pm ya my# so we can talk further if you need me too do this...

Mitch,
I called this Luis fella and left a message on his cell and called his home as well no answer....Never got a return call from him....will try again tommorow afternoon...I will give ya a call soon as i hear from him....

[MD88IROC]

He had to work late and didn't get to call you back. He lowered the buy it now to $11,500 and I just bought it....I hope it's as clean as he claims. I really appreciate your trying to help me here, he just didn't make that possible.

Thanks JT, Mitch
