Price Opinions

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.

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.

Bill, I think 30-40,000 is a good range to be in. Maybe take a ride to Atantic City auction in February. Usually get some pretty decent cars there. Sam

Bill, nice small block SS cars and low horse Chevelle BB's are in that range and make great drivers. I'm considering one myself

Thanks for all the advice. Right or wrong decision I don't know, but the car is sold. I decided to sell the car at this time as it was still a financial winner and I think non documented, and certainly non original cars are generally not a good investment. I still had a list of things I wanted to do to the car that would have cost a lot and not added much to the value. I am now in the hunt for a 68 L78 Camaro or a 70 Z28. I think the 68 is a dream that will probably never happen as the price for something good may be out of reach. The 70 Z is a possibility.
