For most people, the excitement of seeing a ride like this barn find 1969 Chevy Camaro Z/28 might be overwhelming. After all, you probably don’t get many shots at a classic muscle car that’s been stashed away for years on end. But that emotion can get you into big financial trouble.

Rare ’69 Yenko Camaro found stashed in a trailer.

Many enthusiasts have made dumb decisions to buy a vehicle for top dollar because of its perceived rareness, only to later realize they’ve been had. It takes experience and caution to not get carried away and pull the trigger on something that’s not a great deal.

That’s why watching someone like parker, the guy from Backyard Barn Finds at work. He found out about this ’69 Camaro Z/28 and went to inspect it, catching everything on camera and explaining things for his viewers.

The guy who’s selling the classic Chevy says he wants $20,000 for it. If you have that kind of cash just sitting in your account, hearing that might be enough to send you over the moon. After all, a lot of people assume a muscle car like that would be selling for multiple times more.

Just keep in mind this is a real barn find car, not only of those fake setups influencers and TV shows like to do. The thing is rough and will need some serious work, so you’ll be investing a lot into it.

For starters, there’s no engine. There is a transmission, but it doesn’t look to be the factory original. Parker is able to deduce the cowl hood on it isn’t from the factory. There are deluxe seats and a Hurst shifter.

The other big concern is the Z/28 badges were just slapped on a regular Camaro. But Parker reads the VIN and it is in fact a factory Z/28.

Overall, the old Camaro Z/28 isn’t in too bad of condition. There is some rust, which is to be expected, but this could clean up nicely. But would you pay $20,000 for it as is? We think that’s a tall order with the engine and original transmission gone. But what do you think?
