1970 Chevy Camaro for $10,500? Good price?

The thing with most Chevys of this vintage is many of the parts were used on various other cars (Nova, Impala, Chevelle, etc.), so availability and cost are pretty good. On the other hand, I wouldn't dare consider the interior of an old Camaro to be on par with anything new. The interiors were pretty spartan and cheap. Also, 1970 Camaros didn't come with power locks, windows, cruise, or many of the other "standard" options. Also, they are a pain to park. The doors are very long; you have to climb out backwards in tight spaces. They look good, handle well (in the dry), and run like a scalded dog. I personally never liked it as an everyday commuter; it never seemed very comfortable.

Thanks for the post. I currently have an '89 Volvo 240DL so I don't mind not having power windows, power locks (mine aren't working), etc... But can I change the seat covers so they feel more comfortable? And is is expensive to install an A/C system if it doesn't have one?

Thanks.

The last time I looked, it cost about $1,200 for an installed Vintage Air system. Factory A/C for these cars is getting harder to find; first and second gen Camaros have mostly disappeared from the wrecking yards. As for seats, you just reminded me about another complaint with the cars. The seats have no lateral support, although I'm judging based on mine, which is an older one with the short buckets, and the original foam has certainly lost its cushion by now.
