    Great score! It's tough to find a Camaro that isn't completely butchered, wrecked or rotted into the ground, but both of those cars look suprizingly good. The revive and drive sounds ridiculous, so I'll be looking forward to the video series on that!!!

      @@Iamthathillbilly Canada is famous for the length and intensity of its winters. Given the amount of road salt and moisture in the winter months, it may be no surprise that Canadian cars tend to rust more quickly than their southern brethren. This can be a real issue when shopping for a used car.

Keep the best one and sell the other. Even make the one a nice roller. You'll make a ton more of money then you paid. Those camaro's are getting real hard to find. Take care and be safe.

    I'd love to see that '67 built, looks like it has a lot of potential. Though, with time constraints, I can see how the '68 is alluring. You just have to kinda throw it together. But Y Windows are cool... The '67 has also been turned into a hot rod at some point, giving it a cool bit of history. Both cars definitely deserve to get built.

    They are both builders. I have owned a 67 and a couple 68s, and if memory serves me correct the doors are not a simple swap. I think the hinges may be welded on and the two years had different bolt patterns where they bolt to the jam. Also the 67 has windwing wedge windows oon the doors and the 68 only has the door main glass.

    What a delicious surprise. Dan you have just struck Gold.
    I too have lusted over a 1rst Gen Camaro since before I could drive. There was a guy who worked part time in High School (and full time in the Summers) at the local Safeway (when their bag boys made as much as journeyman Electricians, Plumbers, etc.). He was 3 grades ahead of me, and I used to walk by his house all the time. (Being 3 grades ahead of me, he barely acknowledged I was alive.) One day he bought a new 396 RS Camaro => Hugger Orange with Dover White stripes with the Console Gauges. Very few teens had new cars (or any car at all) so this was a big deal. I used to see it regularly zooming around the neighborhood, and I always wanted one.
    I know you aren't big on shiny paint, but if you get one of these to that point, think about going with Hugger Orange with Dover White stripes. Nothing would be cooler!

    Score! Lot's of parts and good bones for both! I grew up with the Camaro Kid living 2 doors down on the corner. He had 13 Camaros on his lot in our housing tract at one point including some ultra rare ones (a '67 Z-28!). I have always had a soft spot for them! Here comes one of the 50,000 suggestions coming your way.....I would get them both back on the road as respectable drivers (rescue them). Then, I would sell one and keep one. The Chevy Muscle Car Tri Fecta (late 60's/early 70's), is a Camaro, a Nova and a Chevelle. You have a great Nova with family history, you now have 2 Camaro's to choose from and selling one can fund finding a nice builder Chevelle down the road. Guys would kill to own those three. You are well on your way! Great purchase Dan!
