One of the most daunting parts of any restoration is compiling a list of the required parts and then determining how they will likely impact the owner’s wallet. This 1969 Camaro is a restoration project, but the seller helps the new owner with their build by including a significant collection of parts to return it to a rust-free state. If you feel sorely tempted, the Camaro is listed here on eBay in Schertz, Texas. Bidding has reached a mere $255 in what appears to be a No Reserve auction.

The seller indicates this Camaro left the factory wearing Frost Green paint, which was one of the more attractive shades offered by Chevrolet in 1969. It underwent a later color change to its current Daytona Yellow, and with the work required, returning the factory color would not add to this project’s costs or time. It has the usual rust we expect in classics of this type and vintage, but it isn’t bad news. The seller accumulated an enormous collection of new steel they will include in this sale. The buyer receives two new fenders, a pair of new full quarters, a new trunk pan with extensions, and trunk gutters. The seller also has a desirable Z11 Pace Car cowl induction hood they will throw in. The floors look a bit crispy, so replacing them as part of the process might be wise. The back bumper is damaged, but the remaining trim pieces and tinted glass look salvageable. The most significant question mark with this Camaro revolves around its drivetrain. The seller states it was a 350/automatic car, but the photos suggest that the motor and transmission may be gone. They don’t mention it in the listing, meaning the buyer may need to budget for a new drivetrain as part of the build. With crate motors so affordable, they could tailor the drivetrain to their taste.

The original owner ordered this Camaro trimmed in Black vinyl, with bucket seats, a console, and the luxury of air conditioning. The interior remains complete but is another area where the seller includes a range of parts to return it to its former glory. There is a new dash pad, headliner, seat covers, a carpet set (all in Black), and a steering wheel with a center cap. The Green door trims and armrests would need to go, while the console has deteriorated and may require replacement. With the interior complete, life would be pretty pleasant behind the wheel on a warm day, with the A/C blasting away.

Our Barn Finds readers are a knowledgeable crowd, meaning you will recognize that it will take deep commitment from the new owner to return this 1969 Camaro to its former glory. However, it appears that most of the pieces of the puzzle are there. A competent buyer could tackle most of the work themselves, although there would be no shame in handing it to a professional with the directions, “Here, fix this.” The finished product should be an appreciating asset that offers an enjoyable classic motoring experience. With No Reserve in play and subdued bidding action, it could potentially be one of the great buys of 2022. Are those thoughts enough to tempt you to pursue it further? If you do and are the winning bidder, we would love progress reports on this build.
