Everyone loves a good barn find, especially when it’s something cool like a Fastback Mustang or a Camaro Convertible. Here we have the latter and there is no doubt this is a real deal barn find. We will let you decide if that is a good or bad thing in this case. It’s going to need a lot of work but might be a good project for the right person.
Score! It looks like our Camaro has a 4-speed! The base grill and hood told us this car isn’t an SS or an RS, but the Hurst shifter and center console make us wonder about what may be hiding under that hood. Questions like that are what make every barn find experience exciting.
Well, you can’t win them all. We were all hoping for a 327 at least but unfortunately, that’s just a humble 140 horsepower inline-six. Don’t get me wrong, the Turbo-Thrift was a good engine and would work perfectly fine for top-down summer cruises and parade events. We were just all wanting a little more muscle.
Perhaps that engine is the perfect excuse to build this car the way you want it. There’s going to be rust repair and the old respray is shot so pick your color and engine option. Which route would you go? Bright orange with an LS swap or maybe something more subtle with a crate engine? The options are limitless. If you’d like to build it your way, find it here on eBay where the auction is ending soon.
