Nice looking SS..........I think you'll have to be patient for a number of reasons but the time of the year right now might be your biggest culprit. As I'm sure you know your biggest competition is likely going to be from the Z-28 market for those considering Second Gens. I think you would be doing well if you get your current asking price.

If you still have it next year I would get it out to a few car events in the Des Moines area if you haven't already........good luck!

my opinion ... and we all know what opinions are worth ... :-)

auto and interior color

that said, my car WAS Forest green but with the tan interior. I remember telling myself when i bought it in 1977, " I can paint it any color, as it has tan guts"

I looked at MANY cars before buying this one and I ignored all: A. with a slushbox, B. without power steering, C. that had rust, D. that had non original engine parts (yes, even headers), E. were gold or slime (citrus) green (sorry, wasn't in my window of tolerance), and finally F. had a green interior

I lucked out finding my car, it was all I wanted and MORE: M-22, EXCEPT it was FG. The originality of the drivetrain (still had smog hooked up and all 4 original spiral shocks) convinced me it was a good car

I always wanted a black one so I had it painted in the very early 80's

That all said, I have more tolerance for all the external colors today but still have an issue with green interiors on f bodies

I would put different wheels on it.. maybe 70 Z style wheels. Those later camaro wheels do not do the car justice !! GLWTS !!

Or the Corvette style "turbine" full wheelcovers. They were optional on Camaros. Look cool as heck and nicely different.

14"Rally Wheels on this Forest Green SS are correct and original RPO option.

You see very few original SS 2nd Gen Camaros and even fewer with stock Rallys.

The wheels are fine, don't change a thing. Be patient. Extremely nice car. No objection to the green interior. So many cars had Black interior. So yours is different.

I appreciate all of the comments made.

I find the Z28's are much more in demand than the big block 2nd Gens. I also think the price is good, maybe let someone beat you down to 35k, but I would not go any lower.

I would not use any professional auctions on this car. My experience (again mine) is that second gen Camaros don't do well at auction.

You can do ok on ebay with a car like yours that presents well. Get some professional pics taken, and write a good ad (maybe post here for tips on a good ad).

Pics of the block stampings would go a long way. I think (like others have said, opinion) the fact that your car has the original engine is much more of a plus than the negatives of color (I like the forest green) and automatic.

Just my .02,

Oh, and I agree on time of year. Income tax return time is much easier to sell a car. Make sure if you do an ebay ad, that the auction does not end on a holiday, Fri or Sat night, or middle of the day. I found that Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Thursday evenings around 8pm central time were prime selling times (east and west coast can bid).

Solid advice, esp regarding the timing of auction ending. I always schedule mine so that both the east and west coast can bid at reasonable evening times.
