I BOUGHT A DIRT CHEAP COMPLETE 1967 CAMARO RS *Garage Find*

Apparently I own most of America's dream car. My neighbor came over and offered me his 1967 Chevy Camaro RS for an unheard of price. It has a complete history and ran and drove when he parked it. We're going to dig it out of the garage, drag it home and get started on the new project. This is going to be nuts it's getting all the dream swap parts again. We're going to build the whole car in two days so it's ready for LS Fest East in September.

Sounds like a well optioned car but it’s not going to be a big money maker I have two that are the same as it and they are going to be restomods . Costs around $80k to restore it and it is not worth that much when you are done with it. They only sell for between $40k to $60k for a fresh restoration. Restomods sell from $80k to $250k depends on what you do to them. Only takes a couple minutes to look at what is for sale and what’s been sold at auction over the last year.

Like a lot of people are saying, please don't swap that engine if it's numbers matching!

[HorsepowerGarageVideos]

I would not swap that engine, they're only original once.

[nlemonj]

I wanted to see that engine get rebuilt so bad. Was REALLY hoping for a restoration on this one.

[Jddvs]

Blasphemy! To convert this car into a “burn out” car is beyond foolish. That car is loaded with rare options for that era. Spend the money on a restoration rather than destroy the collector value which is considerable. Put the LS in the new generation car and take it to the “burn out” and preserve the ‘67. You will be glad that you did!

[LonelyPickle-mr]

Usually everything you do is great on this channel, but LS swapping a numbers matching car to make it a burnout car is nuts.

[vernmiller]

Hey that is a documented BLACK Camaro, you are sitting on the holy grail!

[BlueWhale]

Broke my heart when you said you're taking the motor out...Everything doesn't need a swap...

[jamesemcclure]

Pity you are not restoring it. It's a beautiful car. This could be a lesson in how to take $6500 and destroy a fortune

[bradklingensmith]

If you found a rare numbers matching car it would be foolish to hack it up and sell off the engine, etc.

[richardkafka]

Breaks my heart to hear you're LS swapping this original 327 car! And for a burn out competition! I know it's your car, but like you said, "Old cars like this are getting hard to find!", and this is why!!! Everyone does LS swaps on everything these days, nothing new there. Keeping it original, numbers matching would be SO much better! Just my opinion.

[InFiDViL]

I would not sell a single thing off of that car that is original. If you don't plan on running with it, then store the extra stuff. But definitely don't part out a number matching car if it is original. That thing looks clean AF and rust free. It would make a fantastic candidate for a full restoration or restomod if not original. There are people out there searching for 1st gens this clean. Amazing car man, please do it justice!

[TFD]

So it survived 53 years all to be stripped😡 I hope not!

[dirtytaco]

Numbers matching if so keep it together. Motor shouldn’t be swapped

[hootsmccoy]

So Jon Ross, have you noticed a trend in the comments? Restore it and it will still do burn outs and you will also have a collector car for resale. Keep the great videos coming! Wish you lots of happy days. You are a great entertainer and presenter.

[bennyconiglio]

Please don't destroy this car. Keep it original.

[phenomanII]

Do not swap the engine, what the hell man, why would you even consider that.

[Not-Great-at-Gaming]

Being an original 67 RS, I'd love to see it restored. Please keep the original engine (take it out, but don't sell it) and restore the rest as original as possible.

[rwdplz]

This deserves a proper restoration, not a burnout mobile.

[bruceberry]

Dude, don't do anything stupid! If you need to swap the engine, do NOT cut or modify in a way that can't be reversed! I would rather buy it from you than see it's originality destroyed.
