1969 Camaro  
Bought for $1900 (14 years ago)  
Invested - 2" thick of invoices that I’m afraid to add up  
Still Own and always going up in value 🙂  
But if I sold it, I’d still make money.

1968 Firebird Convertible  
Bought - $3000  
Sold - $7800 🙂  
Guy that bought it from me sold it for $12,500  
Car was beat.

Daily drivers/leases aren’t worth putting in this list for me.

Yea, someone got ripped off. The car was maybe worth $5000. the guy after me took a bunch of pics and threw some paint on the motor and the buyer must have only gone by the pics.

Yeah, still have it. I know you were looking for a project car. My uncle has a few Camaro’s sitting around that he is making into race cars or just for maybe a future project. If you want I can ask him for ya? But as far as mine, that is untouchable. It is still in rough shape right now. I stripped off about 5 layers of paint. It was blue, yellow, maroon, white and some metallic reddish color before. Took me about a week to strip it down with aircraft paint remover that ate through 6 pairs of chemical “proof” gloves and alot of skin on my arms for which I still have some scars. Man I hate that shit. Needless to say I have a front end clip and nice 6" cowl scoop for it but I still have to smooth out some of the kinks. Had to get new door skins which is relatively cheap but with the race cars in the garage I dont have much time or space to do much til winter. Sorry but can’t sell it, hopefully when it is complete ill be buried with it lol.
