L-78 comparison

[PhilS]

Any ideas on price/value comparisons between L78 Camaros vs L78 Chevelles?

I'll get this one started. All things equal (condition, originality, paperwork, features, paint color, transmission, provenance, etc.) Camaros will have a higher market value. How much? I would say the Camaro would be about 20% more, i.e. a theoretical Chevelle L78 selling for $70K would compare to a similar Camaro at $85K. This is a comparison only not a market analysis.

O.K. now, let me step out of the frag pattern here ... let her rip fellas!

I think we need to at the very least designate a model year to compare the two, unless I missed that part?

Let me drive them both for a couple of months and then I will let you know...

How about '68 to '68 and '69 to '69?

My bust. For some reason I was thinking 1969.

This should be interesting. Styling is going to play a big factor here. If we compare years that both were built. For 1967 I think the Camaro wins by a large margin. For 1968 I think the gap is closer, because the styling on the Chevelle has come up a notch closer to Camaro. For 1969 I think the Chevelle / Camaro styling is both good, but the Camaro is definitely the favorite, hands down. For 1970, I think the Chevelle is a very handsome car and wins over the Camaro for the first time.

I guess for 66 the Chevelle Wins Hands down!!!

and for 67, they only made 612 L-78's.. RARE = Value eh

The only thing that would make this thread better is if you were including the lowly Nova....
