Why would you sell a car that you have owned that long? Sell your other car (especially if it is a Dodge Viper) and keep that one! It is BEAUTIFUL!

thank you (olds 64,) i love this car, i paid 800.00 dollars for it in 1974. my dad went in half with me on the car. he drive's it more then i do.. i balanced the engine and stroked it out also, it breaks traction right up to 70 mile per hour. it's a lot of fun to drive.... chris sllen

What kind of price do you have in mind?

Viper · August 21st, 2008, 11:27 AM

i was told , the car was worth about 25,000 to 30, 000. if someone was serious about buying the car i would like and offer.. the engine needs detailed out and new exhaust system and maybe a gas tank also.. its never had new springs or suspesion work done. this car other than a repaint is completely original.. and it's and early production date car. that's why theirs no bumbee strip on the car. no clone,,, i bought the car when it was six years old and i bead blasted the oringal paint of the car... it's nerver been molested in anyway also.. the air needs to be put back on the car too... the gut is all new also.. sound deader and all.. when i put the new gut in her, i sealed all of the inner panels also.. the car has no rust, and the car was never undercoated.. all of the stainless and bumpers are oringal gm too.. door seals and window treatments are from paddock.. alone with orignal pleat gut.. in 1978 i started buying all of the original parts for car before gm stopped offer them. thats why the car looks like new. the engine was professionaly built too, bored stroked and balanced... viper

You will get top dollar at a BJ Auction but the car has to all together ...

I agree with Mug. The car has to be finished and detailed. A little elbow grease can get the sale price alot higher than a non detailed car. Right now though you are offering a very nice car that needs work and that is something many potential buyers shy away from.
