Sounds like we're all in about the same boat. I have restored two 69 Camaros and yes, they will bring some money when they're done right. But, $3,500 for a rusty shell needing pans, quarters, rockers, IF you can find one anymore. You have $7-8k in the rolling shell even before you get started on the restore unless you can do the work yourself.. What I'm trying to say is the Camaros, Chevelles, Novas, etc. have just gotten out of reach for the common man's wallet. (or should I say mine) Another thing is I got tired of all the 'experts' telling me this was wrong, that was wrong, this number didn't match, .. It's my car, I'll build it like I want it.

I have always loved these old trucks. I still love the Camaros and muscle cars too I just can't afford them anymore. They are expensive to build but they bring more money in the end. I personally think it's a wash. I have a 68, and a 69 stepside SWB trucks and I have less money in them both than I did in a driver 69 Camaro. I guess it all depends on what you want or can afford to build.

Honestly I have had more fun with my trucks than I ever did with my Camaros. Just more personality and functionality. A BB is a BB. They all use gas. If you want gas mileage buy a Prius. If you want horsepower you gotta feed it.
