Re: 1969 SS 396 Value opinions
what i do is look at the max nada value and divide in 2 to get started. so nada shows 47 max for that car, so 1/2 is 23-24.
nada shows average value for 27.
so to me, with it not being original paint (then it may be a confirmed 27k car, ie. buy it) i would think 23-24 is fair with all the docs and some history and to know its not a cut rebodied car. I have seen a rebodied car and to know the odds are zero on a purchase like this it is not a rebody stands for something (this is why i myself would be very nervous buying a fully restored car anymore). not too many have free money these days (401ks have gone to sh-t), and some people with out standing lines of credit may be afraid to use them anymore to buy cars, thus this all effects the market. With that said, i would derate the 23-24k a little more, say by 20%, so you are at 19k. its looks like a nice car, but people are not flocking to the lower horse cars. 19k is the realistic price on that car to me, no way jose on the 27k. If you like the car, i would rationalize with the guy between 19k and his asking price. With the mopars I have looked at, green green was usually the kiss of death on color combos. Not sure on camaros, but think it may be more popular these days for some reason. I agree its hard to find a car like that documented, and not a rebody, but I would not go to far away from 19k-20k, considering its been repainted, and survivor cars are pretty popular. If you like it and plan to keep it, I am sure you can come to a reasonable price somewhere south of 27.
look at completed auctions on ebay if that helps. If it were me in this market, i would pay 18k giving some room to spend money here and there, 27k would be fine if it had most of its original paint. my 2 cents. nice car.
