As the title says, looking for some direction from the experts. Complete car in driver condition, tops in good shape, a/c complete but inop, a little "mud", original faded paint, interior's in good shape, buckets, console, original 330, 4 bbl, auto. What is a realistic $$$ range? Your opinions are much appreciated. Thanks, and Merry Christmas to all!

Depends on whats been done to it over the years and how much needs to be restored. Pictures?

 

I am no expert by any means but I do constantly look at cars for sale. Like stated above a lot depends on what has been done and its condition. I see them sell for $5000 for a driver that needs restoration to low $20000 for a completely restored car. I would think you would fall in the middle somewhere and hope the right buyer comes along. Here is a another discussion on the value of your car.

Thanks for the replies and the link... that was very informative! I searched the topic here but the linked thread didn't show up for me. A friend called me about this car with basic info and it's relatively close by. The asking price of $11k made me think about taking a ride. Got some pics this am. Thanks again, and Merry Christmas!

 

The car looks to be extremely original in the photos. Obviously check for rust or other repairs. The boxed convert frame is prone to rustout just below the front of the doors.

$11K is at the high end of the range but not an unreasonable asking price for what appears to be a very nice car. I'd offer $8K or $9K and see where the negotiations go.

 

After seeing the photo's I think Joe is right I would start at $8,000 and go from there as long as rust is not a issue. It looks great in the pics and sure to bring some smiles with the top down.

 

I'd say around $7-8k would be my start.
