I have not had the car professionally appraised. but it carries $35. 00 insurance by my insurance company who inspected and appraised the value.   I would consider this a 1-. 2+ car (per Hagerty) with potential to become a 1 with some minor work.   So Items keeping this from being a $40. 00 + car as this is a true RS(see Hagerty. and other pricing sites for this information. Side passenger glass front and back is not perfect on passenger side. and in the back on drivers side. (Glass kit is $450).   Heater core needs hooked back up or removed completely( I don't drive in fall or winter. so I disconnected it).  

5 year project and is a beauty as it won its first and only car show at SCC in Burlington.   Only has about 500 miles on it since it was restored.   I ran the numbers and it is a true rare 68 Camaro RS with a rare color combination of the British racing green and black interior and 4 speed H. O 327.

 Sell of car will also come with if you want it.   Original hood painted perfectly and other original parts.

Come to Iowa and see the car in person and I will show you all the receipts for all the work done and you can see this beautiful and timeless beauty in person.   This car will just keep on increasing in value as time goes on.

Good Luck!  This car is for sale on other sites. so if you want it you can hit the buy it now. otherwise I reserve the right to cancel the auction at any time.
