1970 SS396 - Value

[Supergas990]

Thanks for the quick feedback. I'm unsure about the cars interior appointments. I'm hoping for a gauge package, but expecting a standard dash.

Not sure on gear ratio or actual paint code. I'll take more pics and record all of numbers when I see the car.

My son is several years from driving, but wants a musclecar for his summer ride. This car is close to his price range and would actually hold some longterm value, as well as giving us a nice father-son project for the next couple of years.

Car would mostly be a summer dirver, but we would do home shop body-off resto on the car. It would be our second full resto, if we move forward.

Factory 396 with 4 speed and seemingly minor rust issues, $10k is not too bad. If you can get it for $7-8k then you are doing very well with it.

Rick,

You're right, that's a sharp car. Way more than the ballpark I play in though.

Last fall my son won a boat at a fishing tournament. He opted to sell it and keep fishing from my boat (smart kid). Now he has a nice bank account and 3 years to get a nice car together.

This Chevelle is pretty close to home and may be the right project for a long-term investment and great first car.
