1983 hurst olds advice

My father passed away 3 years ago and he had a 1983 hurst olds 25 year anniversary. It has been garaged for years and needs a lot of work and I thought I would fix it up and get it back on the road. Well, things didn’t go according to plan and now it’s just sitting in the garage and would like to sell it. But don’t know how much I could get for it. Like to hear from professionals who know what it could be worth? I have some pictures and could post more if someone has any advice on a price.

Welcome to the site and condolences. Without some pictures, the value range is big.

Welcome to the group... Photos and location are definitely a plus... Any mechanically issues/information would also be necessary to help make an assessment as well as body condition......

The more specifics you could give about the car, along with pics, like has already been stated, will be extremely helpful to you and everyone else. I know I have always wanted an 83 H/O!!

It has just over 66k miles, it hasn’t been ran in over 10 years, it has always been in a garage. It needs a lot of work. Everything is stock and everything is there.

I live in St. Louis and it has always been here. My father bought it brand new in 84’ and was his first car. I’m not a machanic by any means but I think it would need at least 10k to get it looking really good again.

funny commentary in the dust on the window.

There is a similar condition HO on my local cl (might be an 84) runs and drives $6000

I would say that might be a good starting point

Based on viewing your current photos, is the console and shift plate still with the vehicle and are the bottom of the doors starting to rust/separate... Another potential rust issue is in the trunk floor area between the top of the frame rails and the trunk floor, does that appear to be solid...

The bottom of the door seals are rusted, and here is a photo of under the mat in the trunk. The commentary was done cause my step mother hates the car and wants it out lol. Been a long going struggle but it has to go.

The console and shift plate are still here. My father pulled them out to start work on it before he passed. The whole car is there just needs a lot of work
