I bought a 1977 Camaro off Marketplace for $300. Junk or Gem? New Project?

    Lee, you really should de-activate the coordinates feature on your dash cam. For your own privacy and safety and the privacy and safety of the people you make deals with.
    I'd love to have that Camaro here. As is, it'd sell for at least ten times the price you got it for!
    Cheers from Argentina.

    You are amazing with doing those cars cheap. I like your tips on saving money some of the most because I spend money on this stuff. That Camaro is worth it unless it is hot. Probably an abandoned rusted out car they took the engine and transmission out of for a different car. Yes, decent value in parts all around nice snag. It needs a lot of metal work but body wise it is there. Good ones go for about 10k up north, a really nice one 14k, rough ones 1-3k. A 70’s Camaro has about twice the value of an 80’s Camaro. You could make money on it with metal work, budget build and paint. It would be a lot of work or just a car to have picked apart at some point for parts. A 70’s Camaro is valued and probably will go up more, I liked them, had some friends that owned them, they were really nice cars, cheap excitement for the amount you paid for a used one back then. Cool car you picked up.

    Looks like a 77 Z28. My buddy had a canary yellow Z28. And if I m not mistaken if it's original color is yellow Down deep I do believe that color code was only optioned in the Z28. Her former glory might have been a Z28. Mind you the 77 Z28 was purely a graphics package. Because the Camaro line walked away from Z28s for a few yrs till 77 when they were reintroduced. But again it would be appearance packaging not much else.
