V-code or not, 5K max. Some cars are rare for a reason.

So what's the reason?

Would you say the same excuse if it was a L78 convertible? Or are they rare for a different reason?

Nope, rare for the exact same reason. In 1969, why would you buy an L78 'vert when a hardtop is lighter, faster and cheaper? Same with a HemiCuda 'vert in 1970. Or, in this car's case, why buy a Fury when Six Barrel Runner is lighter, cheaper, and could hand this car it's a** on a plate? Don't get me wrong, I dig L78 'vert's. I like the rarity and now, four decades later, I attach a higher value due to that rarity. But this car is not a Chevelle. Or a 'Cuda. Rare doesn't automatically equal desirable.

Let me put it this way. If somebody announced tomorrow that they had come up with a 70 LS6 Caprice, I would think it was cool, a neat find, but I sure wouldn't assign it the same value as an LS6 Chevelle convertible. Neither car would be the first choice of most performance car buyers in 1970, but no way any 70 full-size is ever going to have the same "cool" factor as a Chevelle 'vert, at least in my opinion.

I'm not dismissing the car out of hand. When I say that in my opinion it's worth five thousand, I'm taking into account it's rarity and desirability. If it were anything but a factory Six Barrel, I would've said five hundred, and choked a little pricing it that high.

This guy is asking Six Barrel Road Runner money for this thing. Which car would you rather have?
