My best friend's grandfather bought a solid, running and driving 1972 500 for $10,000 in 2019. Now, that car has a 289 swapped in, was repainted from Ivy Glow to black, and the interior was redone with a floor shifter and random buckets. But it's rust free (with some Bondo according to my friend).

So I'd say being mostly original and a 429 car, but with the rust issues, probably somewhere around there, maybe 12,500-15,000. Rancheros don't seem to have jumped in value yet.

Of course, I don't really follow the prices much so I may be off but that feels vaguely right based on the few I've seen for sale on line.

Ain't no fun in viewing your car as an 'investment'. Get out there and beat on it!

A machine built for doing massive brake burnouts if I ever saw one.

Can very much confirm

I have a video of my buddy doing a massive one in the '72 I mentioned above. I'd link it but given it's on a public road I don't know how well it'd go over on here.

I'd be interested to know what the Competition Suspension is.
