That sound you hear is likely Chad loudly scratching lottery tickets, trying to get his ship to come in because if he had the money, I KNOW he’d be on the line with the seller of these three cars trying to at least get a look at them. I have to thank pal-o-mine and voice of the NHRA Alan Reinhart for the tip on this wild Craigslist listing from California. See, when he’s not announcing drag races, Alan is working in his shop and wrenching on stuff. He buys and sells all kinds of adventurous items. Hell, the man owned a freaking sweet Cadillac hearse for a few months this year before flipping it to a pro stock racer! Being that his yacht is out being serviced and his private jet is in need of a new turbine, he sent this link along because he’s not going to be making an offer on the cars.

The interesting thing here is that it is auction season and we’re thinking that the seller knows that. being that we’re no world authority on the value of these cars we don’t know if $250,000 is a good number, a high number, or a fair number for the three Camaros. Obviously anyone selling anything has a real sale price and the one they start with so perhaps there some room for negotiation here. We’re thinking that if the money is right an enterprising person would buy them and immediately put them into auction to see what happens. Too late for Barrett-Jackson, but there’s lots of activity on that front at this time of the year.

The cars? How about a 1969 Z11 pace car, a 1969 RS/SS hugger orange convertible with a white top, and a 1968 Rally Sport Z/28. All three of the cars are fully documented and the seller claims them as unrestored survivors. The mileage is 38,000 for the pace car and the Z/28. The hugger orange 1969 model has racked up 86,000 miles. Two of the cars were built in and never left California. The third, which is the pace car was built in Norwood, Ohio and then lived with a collector in New Hampshire for a very long time.

We’d ramble on but we’re not going to. Look at the ad, look at the cars, look at the photos on CL and tell us if these three first generation Camaros are worth a cool quarter million dollars.

In case the ad gets pulled, here’s the text:
