"A True Survivor"

I have a all Original 442 with 37,700 miles.* This car has been sitting since 1975.* I found this in a persons garage a couple towns up from me.** This was a dream come true.* To find a 442 untouched for so many years.* I am the third owner.
The specs are:* 1968 442 sports coupe (production for the sports coupe 4,282* of that I think there were only around 1900 or so built with a 4 speed)
Built in Linden NJ
Numbers matching Rocket 400 (350hp) with a M21 CR 4 speed tranny with Hurst shifter.
3.91*POSI "O" axle rear
The exterior is Nocturne Blue Poly with a Parchment Vynal top. The interior is*parchment white.
Bucket seats, AM radio with a power antena. This is a Non ac car
The Body plate marking are

06C C08 U75
ST 68 34477 BL 286 Body

My question is How much is this worth? Here are some pics.

These "barn finds" are the stuff of dreams and legends!! Yours looks really nice by the pics. Condition is everything when valuing these, but www.nada.com gives a retail range up to $46,000 for a truly perfect model. http://www.nadaguides.com/default.as...&z=28052&da=-1 . But why would you want to sell such a beautiful car??

I'm not selling this. I just wanted to see how much this car would be worth.

This car will one day be passed down to my son. There's no way that I would sell it, I love it to much.

Very, very cool. Note also that this is a factory stripe car and the stripe is centered between the back of the wheel opening and the front of the door at the bottom of the fender. Compare this to 68s where the stripe has been added to a non-stripe car.
