soonercrew · #1 06-27-2009, 11:56 PM

just looking for opinions on value... already own it, but trying to decide whether to restore it or not... if we do restore it, it would be done right or not at all... but, curious to your opinions on the value like it sits???
69 rs/ss 396... true #'s matching car (engine, heads, tranny, rear-end, among others)... real original interior... rust in lower qtrs & lower rear fenders... floors are real nice w/ only one small patch needed... 2-owner car (me 3rd)... original owner bought it here in my hometown and still lives here... have original bill of sale and protect-o-plate... real cowl hood car, tach-n-guages with endura bumper as well...??? thoughts on value???

I will guess it's worth $25K as is.

That's a nice looking car with a great color combo. I can't comment on market value as I don't keep up with these cars. However, 4spd, cowl, neat interior, gauges, apparently original drivetrain, original paperwork. L34 or 35? In my book, it adds up to a worth-your-time-and-effort-to-preserve-this-piece-of-history! Of course it won't be cheap to do this resto correctly. And if you are looking to flip it, it is doubtful you would come out ahead. I would be proud to have such a stunner sitting in my garage.

Good luck!

I believe it also had a endura bumper too.

That color combo is quite rare, how ever some stuff seems to have been changed on it. Rear spoiler should be yellow, might have been added later. Hockeystripe is not like it should be, to wide.

It looks alright as a project to start on.

I would smooth out the rough spots and give it a good cleanup..only fix what you ahve to and drive it. You can always do the frame-off thing down the road. Life is short..drive 'em now!!!

I agree with Wilma - looks like it is all there and would make a great driver as is.
