The interior still needs redone. The previous owner sprayed the vinyl (dash) with red paint. It looks like ass.

Nice car! Interior stuff is pretty easy. It can be time consuming though.

Your's is pretty bas ass too. My dad had a 66' SS with a 396. He sold it because of me (I was sorta unexpected).
You're right about being a money pit. The interior is gonna have to wait until I hit the lottery or get a large unexpected sum of money.

It's not that bad really (but everything is relative I guess). For a total re-cover on your seats you're looking at around $800-$1000. The dash itself would be pretty expensive (and a lot of time consuming work) but the dash pad (I can't remember if the 68's had them or not) is fairly easy and pretty inexpensive. I did the same on my '69 (which I still have)
'69 Camaro Convertible RS/SS Z11 (Pace car) (my '70 is next to it for all you doubters ) This is an old pic...before I changed the front grill on my '70
My '66 SS 396/500hp (original engine has been 'worked' over )
Originally, the Camaro and the Chevelle were my Dad's but I purchased them from him to help him with his finances after my Mom died in 2004. We did all of the work on all 3 cars except for the exterior paint. About 9 years of work on these all together.

Wow, the 66' is sweet. I much prefer it over the 70'.
I originally was looking for a RS/SS Camaro with the hideaways, but they were super hard to find and super uber exspensive. But in hindsight, I paid $13,000 for the 68' and now probably have about $20,000 wrapped in it total including the original purchase price. I could've had a couple of SS's for around that price and they wouldn't have needed near as much work as this car did/does.
I'm really considering selling it because I have neither the time nor the money to finish it the way it should be done. Oh well, I guess it's not eating anything, right now.

Whoa! If that engine came in it (not a replacement), then you were either looking at a COPO (Central Office Purchase Order), Yenko, or possibly a Motion. ANY of those would pull in around 70-150k EASY at Barrett-Jackson. The only way you could get a 'factory installed' 427 was through the COPO program. The only other way to get a 427 in the Camaro was to go through a 'performance dealer' (Yenko, Baldwin-Motion, etc). Either way...they are among the most sought after (IE: Expensive) muscle cars today.Back in 73 I passed up the chance to buy a 1968 RS/SS 427 4 speed (in MINT condition) for $995.00.

The '70 was always my favorite. I saw one for sale when I was a kid (about 10) and said that I woul have a car like that one day. The '66 and '69 Camaro are worth WAY more than the '70 but then again....if I was in it for the money, I would have sold them long ago.
If the only reason you want to sell your car is the lack of money to FINISH it right now, DO NOT SELL IT! You will definitely kick yourself in the ass for the rest of your life. If it is bought and paid for right now, and you can drive it around, then (IMHO) it is worth keeping. If you need the cash for a reason, then you gotta do what you gotta do.

I would DEFINITELY be kicking myself for passing that up (hindsight being 20/20).

I didn't think that any of the "special" dealerships offered a 427 in a Camaro till 69'. I could be wrong and probably am.
