LETS HAVE SOME OPINIONS OF WIW ON THIS CAR

[MultiMopars]

Oh it is not a misprint. I found this in a thread on Moparts.com This guy has the market cornered on six pack "C" bodies. They built very few of thenm and I think he owns like 6 of them. I don't think any of them are restored or driving but I could be wrong on that.

Think of a 1969 Impala with a factory intalled 427/435 engine. Yeah, I know they never built one, but this is what it would compare to if they did.

here is where it came from,back in 2003

It's a tough one to put a price on, but I would go as high as 15k due to the rarity.

[Bill Pritchard]

I honestly don't have a good idea of real worth (what could you compare it to?), but I am willing to bet that it's a lot less than what he's asking. This is yet another instance where rarity does not necessarily equate to desirability...69 or 70 full size Chrysler products have never exactly set the collector car market on fire. Anyone who would do a proper restoration on that car would be so far upside down it would redefine the term, and it would still be NOM!

You read my mind Bill!

I would say the roller is worth $3k. The parts that come with must be worth another $6,000. If this car was restored.... to the right person... 45k.

[MultiMopars]

Well, since I brought up the subject I will give my opinion.

Yes, it would be a cool car. It was part of the Rapid Transit System for Plymouth which was the sister organization of Dodges Scat Pack which the factory designated as "their" idea of a factory built hipo cars. Dodge did not have a "C" body designated in their Scat Pack so the 440-6 Sport Fury is a stand alone car.

The #1 condition in the guide I use for a 1970 Sport Fury, 2 door hardtop, with a 318 is $12050. There is no add for a 440-6 due to the limited numbers to assign a value. There is a 20% add for a 440/375. So lets say the 440-6 is worth a 75% add. Then lets give it another 25% for the Black color. Then lets give it another 25% for it's rarity. This adds up to $27675. for a #1 condition car if my math is right.

I think I have been very generous here and I NEVER add a dollar value for a color as it is personal choice, but of course so are the particular cars we like as individuals.

Your could not buy the parts and restore this car for DOUBLE this amount EXCLUDING your purchase price. Is it worth it? To the right guy that like the big "sea bodies" (C bodies) it would have to be considered Plymouths top dog for a performance model and may take this car to task. It would have to be considered a labor of love with no thoughts of making any money on or even getting your investment back upon resale if kept in #1 condition unless the market exploded sometime again. But who knows, there certainly should be a buyer out there for it but I don't THINK anyone is going to step up to the car for anywhere near the asking price which must certainly be a fishing expedition.

It kinda reminds me of the 4 door hemi's.

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

[69Tom]

45K is a little crazy. I used to own a '70 Sport Fury. It was impossible finding parts for it. You'd basically have to buy another complete car with the same interior and simply carve it up for metal replacement and transfer over the good interior parts.

At the end of the day, a car is worth what someone is willing to pay for it. I obviously find it more "valuable" than most here on the board as I had one and know how impossible it is to find a 'Rapid Transit System' Sport Fury. With that said, I think $45K is way too much in that shape. MAYBE, $17-20K, and this is from someone who really likes these cars and would love to own one.
