Watch this Camaro at Barrett Jackson
 
It think this might be the first real, documented JL8 Camaro to go across the stage. It's hard to tell from the pictures if the car is restored or a clean original car. The crossram parts look to be original GM parts so this car could bring some decent money(I sure hope so)!

69 Z28 RS/JL8 crossram car

NJSPEEDER 01-20-2006 06:25 PM

what a weird combination of options.
JL8(4 wheel power disc), G80(posi rear), ZQ9(4.10 rear gears),M21(close ratio 4spd), N40(power steering),ZQ(full gauges), cross ram intake/cam/carbs all make sense together as a performance piece.
but it also has deluxe seat belts, a rear window defroster, a vinyl top, a speed warning, and an AM/FM radio????

usually cars like this are optioned all the way to one side or the other. this car has a ton of performance stuff and a mish mosh of creature comforts. a rear defroster with no a/c? fold down rear seats without the deluxe interior?

weird car, if it is fully documented it will go for a mint.

the tail pipes are crooked.

Ian 01-20-2006 06:30 PM

and that front bumper is weird. I dont like it.

JL8Jeff 01-20-2006 06:41 PM

No AC available with the Z28 until 1973. It does have the deluxe interior too. This is the kind of car where a rich kid was allowed to buy a car and he would basically check off every option he possibly could. I've seen several fully loaded RS/Z28 JL8 cars like this. This car probably stickered close to or over $5000 in 69!

jims69camaro 01-21-2006 08:22 AM

so what did it go for? i was disappointed in the camaros yesterday. a '69 rs/ss only brought 50 and a z/28 only brought 75. very disappointing. it looks like the prices have hit their plateau.

JL8Jeff 01-21-2006 10:21 AM

The JL8 car sold for $178K I think and another 69 Z28 with 11K original miles sold for $221K(that includes the 8%)! What plateau?

69RSZ 01-21-2006 12:08 PM

hey jeff,mine must be worth about 60k by now. Ron

JL8Jeff 01-21-2006 04:55 PM

Ron, your car is easily worth $75K. That wrong color Z28 sold for $73K on the first day. I just can't figure it out, but I'm not gonna try either.

By the way, did you guys notice the extra star effect on the reflection of the cars at BJ on tv? Turns out they are using some special filters on the cameras to get that extra glare or star to make things look better on tv. What a joke that is.

Yeah there are like 3 thirdgens on my block then around the corner another and a 4th gen Ive never seen a 1st gen around but other then that theres a camaro OR firebird T/A of 2nd 3rd 4th gen in this neck of the woods

NJSPEEDER 01-21-2006 05:53 PM

there is a 69 camaro in ewing that i have been wanting to talk to the owner about. it sits on ferrell ave. bright blue, looks like it is in ok shape.
i never see it move, only been moved around the guys yard a few times that i can rememebr in the last several years.
then there is the crazy lady with the slowly rotting 69 firebird. i sooooo wanna rescue that car, but she is out of her fuggin mind.

WayFast84 01-21-2006 05:56 PM

I hate when people are like that! what does it cost for a car cover? $150 if my neighbors would have put a car cover on my car it would have been flawless except for the fender.. I so want a firstgen but after the 81 at the meet today Im so getting a second gen!

JL8Jeff 01-21-2006 06:02 PM

I know that blue 69 you're talking about Tim. It has a black tailpanel which would mean it's an SS396 if it's original paint. I don't need another project car right now though so I've never stopped.

BigAls87Z28 01-21-2006 06:05 PM

My good friends ex had a 67 RS, white, and it was just when I was getting into cars. I wanted that thing, and he sold it for 5k.

i think that is a brighter blue than the original. i never took a close look at it. car looks a little ragged from the street and it has been sitting on a lawn, so i am sure there is rust.

JL8Jeff 01-21-2006 06:34 PM

Did you just see the Ray Allen LS6 Chevelle conv sell for $1,150,000? I heard it would probably go for around $600-700K so that's a nice increase.

WayFast84 01-21-2006 06:40 PM

Yeah I was just about to post that! Arent lsx motors soposed to be fuel injected??

NJSPEEDER 01-21-2006 06:51 PM

the LSx is being reused for the new engiens for marketing purposes. the old LSx motors were big blocks. most of them are pretty rare options

as in she doesn't want to sell or wants too much for it? that JL8 went for 178,200, i just checked their results page. un-freaking-believable. no plateau in sight. i misspoke about those other cars, it seems their origins may be a bit shady.

as in she may want to sell it. she may want $500 for it, she may want $2000 for it. i am not talking about from visit to visit, i mean if you are talking to her the price will change sentence to sentence.
i woudl love to jsut stand in front of her with $500-750 cash and tell her to sign the title. maybe that woudl work. lol

69RSZ 01-21-2006 08:04 PM

Jeff those people at Bjackson must be walking out into the desert and eating those pyote buttons because what they are paying for those cars you really have to be doin some good drugs,that lincoln zephyer with the rust underneath by boyd cottontail sold for over 300k.with rust can you believe it!what a bunch of nimrods hehehe

BigAls87Z28 01-22-2006 12:57 AM

Koll and I were having a discussion over the phone that in some way, BJ is hurting the muscle car market. By people spending 100k or more for these cars can only hurt the sale of other muscle cars out there now. You wont be able to get a decent car anymore!! Its now up to the late model cars to start to step it up.

enRo 01-22-2006 01:06 AM

Did anybody see that 1950 GM Bus?! The owner expected $600,000 and he got $4,500,000 !!!!!!!! Thats farking insane!!!
