whats it worth

67 442, looks like its not a rust bucket, needs paint. Black bucket interior, shift on the floor, has original engine, 455 in it currently. Worth 3500 obo? Not that I need another car, but tempting.

If only minor rust with a good frame I would say it is worth 3500 and its a post car too. This would be not as common as most were non post.

It is hard to tell without seeing it. I was tempted to look at that car too, but I started thinking that you could get a much nicer car than that for less than it would cost to restore this one...

I guess it depends on a persons budget on the short term, or how much they want to do a restoration. Or if you just want to drive it as is with the current patina.

I also think if the seller changed the wheels it would be sold by now.

It's ALWAYS cheaper to buy a car completely done, just not as much fun, which is why I've never learned that fact myself...

And once again, post cars are "rare" because they were much less popular when new and were usually low-content loss-leaders. Hardtops... er, Holiday Coupes, outsold Sport Coupes by something like 10:1 because they look better.

As much as I like my post car, it sits in the garage next to my rusty holiday coupe. The Holiday has surface rust all over it, primer spots, missing and bent trim, and I still like it better.

Yea probably turn out to be a huge project, think I'd like working on it more than the 75 h/o though. That car is going to get sold or parted out, good idea gone bad lol.

To me it's diamond in the rough. If it's not a rust bucket, it would be relatively reasonable to turn it into a nice driver, or restore unless thats the Kodac side. It looks reasonbly straight with all the parts in place. Has a 455 in it and the original motor goes with it.
