Cost of a 1969 Camaro Restoration
Many people are telling us they want restore
their 1969 Camaro convertible using the
new Camaro body shell
parts from
Dynacorn. They are seeking to restore their car back to its original splendor. So as you can imagine we get asked a lot of questions regarding
“what it would take to do it?” And this is usually followed by “how much
will it cost?”
There are no cut and dry answers. Everyone
is looking for something a little different, which is the great thing about
rebuilding a car this way. Below I put together some numbers showing the typical
configurations we're asked about. THIS IS NOT THE ONLY WAY TO GO ABOUT
IT! And remember these prices do not include labor, so
if you cannot do the work yourself it must be added in.

NOT A COMPLETE LIST (ONLY MAJOR COMPONENTS
LISTED) |
|
|
I removed this total because many people believed we could build a car from
scratch for this number. The above list only covers some of the major
components... and is NOT A COMPLETE LIST. Building a car using
all NEW and High Tech parts is not cheap expect a figure of near $100k.
There are other options available some under $20,000... but this would be a
partial restoration using your body. |
PLEASE CALL IF YOU HAVE
QUESTIONS |
Obviously, there are different ways restore
your 1969 Camaro. Instead of a crate engine, MPFI kit, and transmission,
you could buy the set-up out of a late model Camaro or Vette, instead of the
“NEW” body parts you may have a good shell, (but add in the price of any bodywork
needed) and the list goes on, and on, and on, and on…
Please feel free to
contact us if you
have any questions regarding this or any other restoration project that you may
have in mind. We are very quick to answer all inquiries, and remember there are
no dumb questions. (But please try to be specific to aid us in giving you an
accurate answer.)
