I found a one owner 69 camaro convertible that a guy would like to sell and he said to make an offer.I havent gone to see it but it is complete and drivable but needs restored. Has some rust in the 1/4 panels and is is supposed to be a 375 horse 396.all numbers matching with 4 speed.Any Idea what these are worth?

even with the rust depending on what else is there option wise. probably in the neighborhood of 15-20K as it sits. More if it is an SS model add 10-15K to those numbers.

Check the Camaro site, they should have a better idea. I would think a 396 would have to be an SS. BB + SS +4spd = very desireable

Well if is is supposed to be a 375 horse 396.all numbers matching with 4 speed. And needs to be restored I would guess around 30K-40K:yes: Pictures would be much better so be prepaired to have a shoe box full of $$$$$:yes:
Now you might get lucky and get all the paper work and real lucky the guy selling it does not have internet and cable tv, than you might get it for much less like $15k-20K:D

Correct original 375 HP 69's are like LS6's to the Camaro guys. $$$$$$$$$$$

with the clarification of the rs/ss 4 speed I would put the value even with rust issues between 40-45K, As a 396-375hp

It would be easy to determine if it were an original 396 car if it was built at Norwood, the L78 issue would need paperwork to confirm. It would need to be an X22 or X66 car.
