Too much money for re-sale projects?

Sounds like you are a frustrated shopper? 6th gen Camaros and C6s are everywhere, a nice 1969 Camaro well done commands good money because they are much harder to find and expensive to build now days. Rusted out ones are going for $20K + some.



On the other hand asking price doesn't mean they are selling. Some are dreamers, but nicely priced ones sell in a day or two often. You just need to be ready to travel instantly and have cash in hand to buy good deals or catch one before it hits the market.

That’s the funniest thing I’ve heard all day…you do realize GM made a quarter million Camaros each year of the first gen….they are truly a dime a dozen. Go to eBay..tons of them
You would be hard pressed to find some of these newer cars. GM only produced 50k 6th Gen’s and short of 28k Z06 from 06-13…..now that’s rare.

Nice pro touring first getn's aren't dime a dozen, finished they can be $200k or more. They are hand built works of art that can take years to build vs an off the shelf car anyone can go buy.

I think you very much have a skewed perspective. Every, more like most PT cars are not the latest Detroit Speed or Kindig build. Most protouring cars out there are amateur built and they are everywhere at every level of quality. Go to eBay and see for yourself.

That part is a shame, really. Too many shops will only take on the job if you drop the carcass off with the expectation of a 6 figure turnkey project. This means people either cough up way too much money, or do substandard work they aren't qualified to do. Shops would do a lot more business and make far more money if they'd be more willing to do piecemeal work. There's a lot more people out there with 10,000 and a small need than there are people with 100,000 and are only interested in owning a finished product and not having something they built themselves. If shops were willing to just do the bits that people can't do themselves for whatever reason, even amateur level projects would be way better.

I can say with great certainty, that is not true.

Most, if not all, decent shops have a waiting list. No need for piecemeal work that is going to be a PITA imo….
