Appreciate the information. Kind of what I thought, but it's good to have them confirmed by knowledgeable sources. I'm going to think on it a little more and then try to figure out what I can get out of my Camaro. I know it's a unique vehicle with the paint and all, but any thoughts as to what you think I could get for it?

I don't know where to start on pricing. I can tell you, if I owned that Camaro, I would have a hard time parting with it. It's like eight kinds of cool.
It is probably one of those cars I would never have the guts to actually buy... just lust after. Kudos to you for getting it.

Good luck whatever you decide.

Having said that: If you are looking at it from a purely $$$ standpoint (which I never do... buy what you like... then it doesn't matter if it appreciates) my personal opinion, sans crystal ball, is that the chrome bumber C3's will continue to rise. 68 to 72, with premium for big block, solid lifters and manual trans, in that order. Just my opinion.

Appreciate the thoughts. I'm going to go ahead and get the 302 (found a collapsed lifter and a couple valve spring retains broke) checked out and running right then probably put it on eBay, or possibly put it in an auction with a reserve I'm comfortable with.

So, I guess the 302 has hydraulic lifters?

In my opinion the C3 with a 4speed is one of the best "Bang for your Buck'' in the collector car hobby especially the 68/69 427/390 cars, they can be kinda quirky to work on, but some knowledge from a few friends goes a long way. While I love the interior styling ,seats, dash, shifter, gauges etc... the cockpit itself is very tight . Especially if your anywhere near 6ft,200+ pounds, Im 6'3 & 250 lbs So getting in/out and even driving it comfortably was a big issue for me ,Tilt wheel is a must ,but I don't think it was even available 1968? Still one of the most FUN cars to drive that ive ever owned . The biggest draw back to me about the Corvettes are the other Corvette owners !!! some weird dudes , not you typical motorhead kind guys

C3s are way under-appreciated with the removable hardtop cars being some of the the best looking Vettes ever designed, in my opinion. I only sold my 1970 LS7 car (built out of the Chevy parts book in 1972 by the original owner) because it was Yellow - I tried, but I couldn't get over the color. It handled nicely with the aluminum heads taking a few pounds off the nose and the L88 OK Kustom headers (or the factory side exhaust) just make a solid lifter big-block or small-block sing - Go for it!

Thanks for the "walk down Memory Lane" Jeff. After reading your post, it brought back memories of my 68 (327) and 69 (427) Corvettes - both convertibles. I remember not quite sitting down into the car - more like falling into it. LOL.
