Which of these 6 Camaros is the best deal? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I noticed they have six beautiful Camaros for sale at Orlando Classic Cars (I have no affiliation with them). I've got tomorrow off so I may have to go check them out in person! Just for shits and giggles I thought I'd create a little poll to see which one you guys think is the "best deal" at their current asking prices which I've listed below. (My vote is for the '85 IROC-Z)

1969 Z/28 ($75,000)
https://www.orlandoclassiccars.net/v...let-camaro-z28

1969 RS/SS pace car ($77,500)
https://www.orlandoclassiccars.net/v...ar-convertible

1980 Z28 ($34,500)
https://www.orlandoclassiccars.net/v...let-camaro-z28

1985 IROC-Z ($21,500)
https://www.orlandoclassiccars.net/v...-camaro-iroc-z

1993 Z/28 pace car ($17,900)

Haven't been to Orlando Classics in a while, might have to. Voted '69 Pace Car btw

https://www.ebay.com/itm/1969-Chevro...kAAOSwOhdaz~Ua this is only an x11 car BUT its done so nice and you can buy it under 40, that would be a good deal imo...

The term "best deal" in this case really depends on your intentions. If your intentions are owning a classic show car, that will return the highest dividend on resale, then the '69 Pace Car is probably your best bet. Although that's pretty penny to have tied up in your garage, I expect the value on that one to continue, and at a much faster rate than the others. The 69Z a close second. These cars might double your money in ten years.
While the second, third and fourth gens are going to stay relatively flat.

Now, if you're going drive the car, and do road trips, and such, then the third gen might be the best deal. Being the IROC, it may hold the value a little better than the late edition 2nd gen, or the 4th gen.

Im not seeing a good deal. They are all well over what they are really worth. Those prices are for suckers. In saying that, if you realy like one of fhem and have the coin go for it. Just realize that you arent going to make any money on any of them and most of them you will loose unless you keep them under glass for the next 20 years, and even then it will be a questionable return on investment.

Gen6_1Le · 07-02-2018, 06:02 AM

I would pass on that lot .

Agreed 100%!

PalmerGA · 07-02-2018, 07:21 AM

IMO, the best bang for the buck is the 97 SS.

PROZ11 · 07-02-2018, 10:31 AM

I agree with the others, no good deals there. It is a bad idea to buy any car from a "classic car" dealer. The cars always overpriced and more times than not what they are represented to be. Run away...

$34 000 for an 80 Z/28?. Not very fast...handles not great. I love them but not 34 large kinda love. I would get the 69 Z/28....but not at that price. Is it me or does the Z/28 emblem on the front grill of the 69 look to big?

You can get low mile 2002's for that much.

BMR Sales · 07-02-2018, 11:31 AM

Not a Good Deal in the bunch!

ZEN357 · 07-02-2018, 11:34 AM

I would opt for the 1997.

Yeah the '80 Z/28 seems way overpriced IMO but then again it only has 11,000 miles on it and late edition 2nd gen Trans Ams in great condition are starting to command those kinds of prices now - I just don't think it translates to the '80 Z/28 even though it's still a very cool car - reminds me of the one in Fast Times at Ridgemont High - LOL
