I would like to sell my Rallye 350. I have owned it since 1977. I drove until Feb. 1990. It has been sitting in my garage ever since. It was running when garaged, the clutch has since rusted fast and the key is broken off in the ignition. I believe it to be all original, I have not matched the #'s but I know it is a 1970 350 engine from the #6 cast on the cylinder heads. The body is solid with minor rust. I am looking for help in setting a price. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, Debbie in southeast PA.

 

we will need more information to be able to get you in a ball park price range. can you post some pictures or e mail them to someone to post them? the Rallye 350 don't bring the big money like a 442 will but if all the hard to find parts are there and in reasonable condition it sure will help.

 

Pictures please !!!!!

 

For what it's worth, the October 2011 issue of the Old Cars Price Guide lists the average value of a '70 Rallye 350 in #5 condition (restorable, but currently does not run) at about $3400. Get it moving under its own power, and the average value rises to $5600.

These are very average values, and any particular car will have pluses and minuses. But they might give you some idea of where the market is.

 

Welcome to CO, good luck and hope the car sells.

 

pictures and where is the car located would be a big help, many folks on here would be more then willing to take a look to help you

 

Good luck!!!

 

I'm looking for a 4 speed Rallye for my next project. Shoot me an e-mail or PM when you decide how much you're looking to get for it

Thanks for the replies, forgive me for not responding sooner, I had to work the weekend. I'll work on getting pictures posted. In the meantime, I have more info. It has a four speed transmission, the interior is in fair condition, bucket seats in front are rough but the rear bench is still in good shape. Like I said it is all original as far as I know. I live about 10 miles from Reading, Pennsylvania. If anyone is close and wants to take a look I'd be willing to compensate you for your time. Thanks again.

 

Hello! I would be VERY interested... PM me when you get the pics. Thanks

 

I'll be in the Harrisburg/ Phili area in the next few weeks for work. I'll shoot you a PM when I'm going to be in the area

Mike

 

Hey, I'm in southern NJ. Sent you a PM. Give me a reply.

 

Don't give it away, Google "Rallye 350 for sale" and you'll see prices well over $10k, if it's original and just needs a little TLC, it's worth a lot more than you think.

 

I apologize for not posting pics. A combination of my inexperience with the site, my work schedule and losing power for three days from the hurricane is slowing me down cosiderably, mostly the latter two. I should have pictures soon. I will post them as soon as possible

 

waiting!! [patiently]

 

I finally have some pics for everyone. http://s1179.photobucket.com/albums/x382/RALLYE70/

 

Sorry, but PLEASE don't confuse asking prices with selling prices. The fact that someone ASKS a million dollars for a car on an on-line auction doesn't mean that the car is worth that much, especially when the car is not sold. A far better gauge is to search completed auctions on ebay. You will find that the high dollar cars RARELY meet reserve and even those that appear to be "sold" end up being listed again a few weeks later. I'm not suggesting you give the car away (well, ok, feel free to give it to me... ), but be smart about the sources you pick for pricing information.

 

Definately doesn't appear to have been parked in doors.

• has been hit in the rear.
• Looks like a bomb went off in the washer fluid resevoir

 

It looks like the engine or heads have been replaced at some point. On the front of the drivers side head there is an 8, it should be a 6 on a 1970 350 Olds engine. Also looks like the master cylinder has been replaced as I do not see the bleeder valves that should be just above the brake lines. The top of the OAI(outside air induction) air cleaner assembly is missing? Maybe you have it stored somewhere? The bottom air cleaner base looks to be an original piece & is very valuable, don't get rid of it.
I'm sure other members can offer more info.
Good luck with it.

with the 4 core radiator and posi sticker on the trunk lid it may be a 3.91 posi.

 

Looks to need total restoration, nice and stripped though, no AC, no power steering. 4spd and console, could be nice once again....

 

Just trying to keep the sharks at bay...obviously the asking price should be tempered based on the condition of the car and "google" includes just about any source including ebay.

 

i would think this would be relatively low on the price range seeing how much work it needs, though its a great starting point, 4 speed Rallye, has the hood but even the little things will add up, window cranks *****, cigarette lighter, radio etc, then the more difficult (ie expensive) items, right side mirror, OAI flapper, 70 fenders, etc. It is definitely a cool car and a great project car that's for sure - wonder if the rear end is a 3.91 the radiator looks like a correct 70 Harrison as well.

 

Boondocker, thanks for the cover while I dive behind my Rallye. It definetly has been garaged since 1990 and it is a 6 on the head not an 8. I can post more pics if you'd like of the 6.

 

Don't want you to think I was putting down the car & I believe you about the 6. Hard to see clearly in the pictures.

 

Scott, I did not think that at all, I just wanted to make the offer to avoid any confusion. I appreciate for your input, I need all the help I can get.

 

Man i wish you were closer, i would love to have a look at the car.

 

So what is it worth in this condition? My guess is about 6500??

 

That sounds like the right ballpark to me. One in fairly similar condition but with not as desirable equipment (TH350/bench seat) was on my local CL a few months ago asking $5000.

 

I am still interested in talking cash for the car...please PM if you want to sell...
Thanks
