I'm hoping a few smart souls on here might be able to help point me in the right direction. I'm in the market for a 68-70 Camaro that's is good condition. I'm looking to use it as a daily driver after shifting duty stations to San Diego. A Z/28 would be the top choice but I'm open to options.

Good luck.

It's amazing that many of those Camaros cost as much as a 2014 C7 and way more than small block 68-70 C3 Corvettes.

They're cheaper to insure?

Dave68

Yes, if you buy a classic to be a garage queen, it will be cheaper to insure and may increase in value, but c'mon, who'd rather drive a 60s vehicle as a DD when he or she could be driving a C7?

Why '68-70? That is a really odd age range to chose. Do you hate wing windows so much you'd leave off '67? And I can't even think of a good reason to pick '70 but not '71-73. What was included in Z/28 changed a bit over the years you picked out, but if what you want is a daily driver you probably don't want a Z at all. It sounds like you have a LOT to learn about Fbodies before you consider a purchase.

You clearly have no idea what you're talking about, please proceed to **** off and go back to promoting your MX6 GT.

After owning a 68 Corvette for 22 years and working with a 1st Gen Camaro collector, I think it's safe to say I have more experience than you do.

Now, getting back to the OP's topic: A good, daily driven 68-70 Camaro will be expensive to buy; there's no getting around that. Its two advantages over buying a newer sporty care are that, if taken care of, it will increase in value (although lengthy commuting will detract from that a bit) and secondly, the classic car will generate more attention.
The downside?
Not nearly as safe in a collision or in respect to handling.

Not nearly as comfortable on rough roads.

More likely to be stolen.

Fuel mileage will be horrible compared to an equally fast modern car.

You can buy a better-handling, faster, safer car at half the cost. You just won't get the same amount of attention. The choice is yours.

In 1968 I bought a new SS 396/375 HP Camaro - at the time it would pass just about everything except a gas station ! Would love to have another '68 / '69 SS .. but damn - a nice is expensive now and the damn Barrett and other auctions have caused the prices to rise on the everyday not 100% restored cars. Some people think just because they a have '67 - '69 small block, auto, that runs it's worth 10 times more than it really is because of those damn auctions on TV !!!

I have plenty of experience with these cars. But that's beside the point, apparently your 22 years with a '68 'vette were completely lost on you. Just the fact that that you're pointing out fuel mileage as a reason not to buy a classic muscle car shows you have no clue what you're talking about or what the appeal of these cars is. I mean, have you LOOKED at a C7 then looked at a '69 Camaro in RS trim? That's all one needs to do to see why many would choose to spend their $ on the Camaro. Nobody buying a $50k+ old muscle car is buying it for daily driving comfort and mpg. And it's not about attention. If ppl were buying 110% for attention they'd be getting an F-car or a Viper (or a Rat Rod lately). It's about what the car does for the owner not about what it does for everybody else. There's just something special about driving certain cars. The C7 is an amazing; but fugly, technological marvel. But it has no soul, no spirit (at least yet). It's not nearly as bad as the lifeless experience of driving a GT-R, but it's getting to be pretty close to an appliance. Granted, it's an appliance for going really effin fast, but that's it. If you can't get in a true '69 Z/28 or a real big block car and feel something special, something that makes it all worth it then they're not for you. But it has nothing to do with how well it goes down to Bed Bath and Beyond with your family to pick up some bath mats. Get a clue.
