Go for it! Looks like a '78. My first car was a '78 Camaro Z28. I would love to have another one of these again.

I was worried there for a second. Glad to see you aren't considering trading the vette after all the work you have into the engine alone!

That would be a nice addition to the garage.

I have another car for DD, the Cruiser was for sale before but I couldn't get what I wanted for it so I just kept it. It is a nice car fully loaded with every option for that year and 215hp and 245ft/lbs it's pretty snappy

I was looking for a street / strip car to trade and this guy got in touch with me

The Cruiser has ever option for that year, leather heated seats, power sun roof the list goes on and on, with the turbo it doubles the price of a standard PT Cruiser. It is like a little luxury car with pretty good power too.

Maybe today the book value is the same or better but a few years from now the Camaro is going to be worth the same or more while the Cruiser loses 2-3 grand a year

Don't forget, there were millions and millions produced, unlike the 67 - 69 Camero..what makes the price go up...scarecity.....Me thinks, bad deal for you, good deal for the Camero owner...that's why the guy suggested the trade...
