Just acquired

Just recently acquired this car..1970 cutlass convertible..completely rebuilt rocket motor. All brake lines replaced with stainless steel and all electrical components replaced..the rocket engine is not original to the car . Just asking what you think would be a fair price

Whatever somebody will pay for it.

You can get a better answer by posting a whole bunch of pictures and supplying any details at all!

I don't know that you can get a worse picture! 🤣🤣
Who "rebuilt" the engine?

I'll give you $1500USD cash, sight unseen.

Looks like there's something on top of the car. 🤔

Nothing says newbie to the Olds community like "rocket motor".

Let the education begin.

Welcome to the site. I am going to ask you, would you buy that car or try to guess what it it worth based on a picture of the drivers door. Get us several pictures of all side of the car, the under hood and the interior. Tell us all you know about the motor and transmission. Don't worry about calling it a rocket motor. Most new owners do that. We just call them 350s, 455s or whatever other displacement they tend to be. These are the most common. This is a very good site and you can learn a lot here because there is lots of cumulative knowledge here with people who are glad to share.

If you just bought the car, you know what it’s fair value is 🤷‍♂️

Sounds to me like he wants to flip it. So it's just as Bang said, whatever someone is willing to pay.

He or she said acquired. We have had our fair share of "inherited dad's pride and joy and don't even want to consider honoring his memory by joining the hobby and just want the 'been jammin's here."
