Repop '69 Camaro Body Available!!

[67Sally]

did anyone notice that the concept drawing of the camaro had a rear spoiler that was a rip-off of tylers 50/50?

That is exactly what my first impression was too. But, I do belive that that type of spoiler has been used on other cars before. I actually think that I saw something very similar to it on of all things an old a vechile from Japan.

Anyway, maybe they plan to buy the spoiler from Tyler's Company.

the first time i saw these was in an ebay auction i emailed the guy and he said there is a core charge of 4k on these until you send him yours

I could be wrong but I think this body has to be a good thing. With all the babyboomers spending wads of cash on muscle cars the prices are going through the roof. There has got to be a bunch of them that would rather buy a new old camaro than monkey with an old one to get it perfect. This may at least slow the price increase. On top of that, the price increase is due to a fad and fads die. When these guys get bored of their new old camaros, mustangs and cudas, hopefully a few of us can pick them up and start touring an unmolested car.

Ithe price increase is due to a fad and fads die.

I would respectfully disagree. The Camaro has always been an American icon and those who finally have enough money to but the car of their boyhood dreams are doing so. It stands to reason that the Camaro and other muscle cars will only increase in value because of this and the aftermarket manufactures are increasing their products. There is something an old muscle car gives you compared to the new vehicles that are out there.

if these are remanufactured bodies then why couldnt we put our vin tags on these cars it isnt any different than if i replaced every panel on my car

I first saw these bodies about a year ago on e-bay. I e-mailed them and the price of the shell was $6000 and there was no core charge. There was a waiting list already for them.
you can see pics of the body and a build up of complete 69 built with repo parts.

I don't disagree that the Camaro is an icon. However, it can't be that all these guys just got enough money to buy these big buck cars just in that last few years. How did they afford those suv's for their wives? I have to think that things like the ebay and Barret Jackson auctions are part of the reason these cars have just recently gone through the roof price wise. The top end cars get sold and that puts more pressure on the lower end cars-simple supply and demand. Sure they may have always wanted one but who could afford some of these cars other than the audi/beamer set? When you add the other the new old camaros into the mix you satiate some of the demand hopefully halting the price increase. Like I said, I know the camaro is an icon and I'm sure some of the new owners always wanted one. I just think its surprising that they all have the money to buy one now that the media is paying attention to them. I have a feeling the guys who are buying $50K cars and then rubbing them with diapers are the same guys who ran out and bought Harleys (another icon) when they stopped having a bad image and became upper middle class-chic.

I also said the same thing to my girlfiend.
I am surprised no one mentioned that the next car they are going to do a kit of is the 67 Mustang.
40k for a base Camaro does seem quite expensive. As most of us have done, you could build a decent pro-touring 69 camaro full of new sheetmetal for under 40k. And with a 6 speed, 400+hp engine, new interior, new rear end,...... It is a cool idea but seems a little high.

Isnt fixin the old half the fun. Wheres the pride in i got my perfect body for 12k?

Exactly!

My question is where is everybody going to find newor even good convert top structure. If and when you do find one, they seem to run around $1000 bucks and that does not include all the little pieces.

Mike

According to the Dynacorn brochure, a new convertible top frame is included. Not included is the front end, trunk lid, doors, wiring, and upholstery. The brochure also states the full retail price "starts under $10,000." So that means its probably around $9,999.

That probably doesn't include cylinders, motors, ****tail shakers, and all the little parts which is where the money adds up.

I am not fond of this word sensor thing, it bleeped c o c k t a i l on me, but I can say damn!

[68 SuperRam]

I noticed last night that Classic Industires is offerring the 69 Conv body for $9,999.99. I wonder if the 20% Fall Sale Discount can work on this?

[ProdigyCustoms]

A customer of mine, that is less then a qualified source, claims to have ordered one with the discount. I will believe it when I see it. I am still waiting to hear when they are coming in.
