For many car enthusiasts, the dream of one day restoring their very first car is a powerful one. Life, however, often has other plans. For one couple in Washington, that long-held dream has resulted in a unique opportunity for a new owner.

After buying 1979 and 1968 Camaros as teenagers and parking them in a barn for 25 years, they’ve decided to sell their four-wheeled time capsules together as a packaged deal, listed for $22,000 on Craigslist.

The Husband’s Daily 1968 Camaro

The first half of the duo is the husband’s 1968 Camaro, a car he bought at age 19 and has owned for over four decades. For years, it was his daily driver, but it was eventually stored away with the hope of a future restoration.

The car still has its original 327 small-block engine, though the owner notes he upgraded the original two-speed Powerglide automatic to a more robust Turbo 350 three-speed.

After decades in storage, it now needs a complete overhaul and has typical rust areas around the rear wheel. In his sale posting, the owner shared a photo of the car from 1984 in its prime, adding that he’s come to realize his dream of restoring it “may never come to fruition, and it’s time to let her go to someone who can bring her back to life.”

The Wife’s Sweet Sixteen Gift

The second car is his wife’s 1979 Camaro. That Chevy has an even more charming history, as it was a gift from her father for her 16th birthday, purchased brand-new from a dealership in Tacoma.

The car is a true one-owner, numbers-matching example, and it even comes with its original title from 1979. When their family priorities shifted after the birth of their children, the couple parked it in the barn alongside the ’68. Like its garage mate, it has been sitting for about 25 years and needs a complete restoration from the ground-up.

A Packaged Deal of Memories

The couple is selling the two Camaros together, hoping that their long-held dream can become someone else’s reality. The sale presents a unique project for a new enthusiast or perhaps a family looking to restore a pair of cars with a genuinely sweet history.

The new owner will need to arrange for professional towing to pull them from their long-term slumber in the Washington barn. As the husband wrote, “We genuinely hope that the new owners will cherish these cars and create new memories, just as we did in the past.”
