Bill, hard to value the quality of the fit and finish on your car from the peanut gallery...but you can't build much of anything today for less than 30k....a solid base car that needs paint and normal bodywork is going to cost 10-15k...that doesn't count driveline, interior, and all the little stuff...how about this for an answer..if I gave you a check for 30k could you find and buy another car equal to yours????? if so...if not....the hats in there, you find it.

That's what I was thinking, I just didn't say it rite. I know the Nova I put together cost a lot more than 30 to build. If someone offered me 30 for, no way would I sell it for that.

Most of the time we all overspend in buying/putting these cars together. If we spend to much on parts and the restos that does not mean the car is worth that. If you are comfortable with the price and not worried about replacing the car, than sell it. Maybe in a couple years you can buy it back for less. $30,000 does not sound to bad to me for a base 68 with a BB in it. I think the buyer and seller would do ok.

Thank you for the replies. This guy who wants the car has purchased a car from me before so he knows what he is getting, it is a nice car. I just don't know what I can get to replace it in that price range......my guess is not too much? My first thought was that this is decent money and the market seems to be a little soft so I might be able to do OK on picking up something new. Now I don't know.

[Zedder]

Bill, I would say that both groups here are correct...yes, $30K is good money for the car and, yes, you would likely struggle to build another for $30K! That's always the problem with building cars...especially when they are not high dollar, rare models. Being upside down is almost always the outcome If you don't need the money or aren't looking for a change, then don't sell it.

[BillD]

Mark. Fortunately this project is not "upside down". However, if I keep improving it I am sure I will get there. Anyone know what is out there for $30-40000? I have no interest in rusted or formerly rusted cars. Thanks for all the help.
