This is a perfect example of how bad the cars are up this way. When someone gets something rust free, whether its a lawn mower or a yenko chevelle, they think they have a gold mine. Car was probably a factory 6cyl car, lol.

Conveniently stripped and primed so nobody can tell what's underneath too...

That's almost even worse than the guy who told me he was offered $10k for his rust bucket '68 Camaro. Factory 327/Glide car. Only real option was the A/C.

You can thank Dynacore for that price, now some people think there cars start off at $15,000 and go up from there.

Something tells me the only replies he will get will be from Nigeria.

Can't even post a picture.....and it's free to add them.

He must have seen this ad in the same place....and got similar ideas of retiring early...

"Compare in Dupont Registry and Hemmings, etc. at 100k plus! "

Another typical "Maine" car. Its 2010 and my car has been restored to look like something in a 1980's Car Craft magazine. Since a rest-mod pro touring camaro restoration of current day can bring big money, how could my same ol thing boring 1980's style resto mod not! I really like the "unraced" part. If I was gonna spend a ton of money to build something and not use it for what it was intended for it would be a numbers matching resto of somethng rare. I gotta say I would probably walk right by this car at a car show. I also had a guy tell me once that had a 68 chevelle with a high dollar paint job, that he had already talk to hot rod and it was cover material. The car was stock looking with 14" cragar s/s's, stock looking interior and a big block with a 4speed. I could see why Hot Rod said cover material, lol. He was from Maine too.

If the car is from Arizona, it cost him at least 2000 to get it to Maine. If it is aa clean rust free car, I would have to say it's probably worth it. I've been to yards in Nevada /Arizona where they wanted 10,00 for a clean 69 Camaro body and that was more than 5 years ago (pre dynacorn)

Blown BBC/Tubbed First gen Camaros can sell for big money even if you think they are not worth it. A solid body 69 Camaro can sell easily for 9-12k. The ones under that price usually need a lot of work. 8500 for a 67 with a solid body is not an outrageous deal. First gen Camaros are very popular even in a down economy. I sold one of mine easily last year for more than that 67. I am not actively selling one of the others and already have 2 different interested parties....

Seems like a normal price to me.... I see rollers all the time for that money. 1st gen camaro's are drying up and have been through the roof for the last few years.

Tri five chevys are the same way. I've always wanted a 55 and better get one soon before rollers are 20k

Well there may be that kind of cash floating around the more prosperous parts of the country, but in this very economically depressed northern state - hardly anyone has this sort of money to spend.
So these prices to me seems like... "yeah right - good luck with that"

To find realistic buyers they would have to trailer it at great expense to a region where the money trees are in bloom year-round.

The lack of rust (if accurate)does help though.

briefly attended the university of maine in the 83/84 school year. remember going to a salvage yard known as silvers south of there, chevelles and other cars in that yard were already rusted all to heck. road salt plus the salt air blowing off the ocean, ugh. guess one really has to want to live there, in that harsh climate.

Makes me glad I am a Chevelle person then. I will never pay that kind of money jus for a rolling body of a car.

I don't see the car manuafacturers selling new cars for a lower price depending on where youlive. Why should a 67 Camaro be discounted because its in Maine if a 2010 Camaro isn't?

Simple.
Supply & Demand.

Fewer buyers around here with cash to spend on a '67 project. This area has been hit hard by the recession. People are mostly selling their toys to make ends meet, not buying them.
The regions where there is more cash & buyers all involve hauling this car back there. An earlier poster said it would cost 2,000 bucks to haul it to the West Coast. Sounds about right - and that affects the selling price.
