Restored for yourself......great
Restore for a profit......doubtful

A few items will keep the price down.
Color, automatic, non-ram air.

Don't get me wrong, sounds like a great car, but you asked about potential value

Just my $.02

Ps if you do paint, i would go with the correct color since the car has its orginal motor and some good options. And yes i know of a few cars out there with this many options.

I concur. I think you'd be lucky to break even unless you did most of the work yourself.

Good luck,

And last ones. Bob also forwarded this info.

Here's a few more pics. Looking at the pic's again, I've picked up some NOS
wheel well trim and also the big red wire on the battery is for the $5,000
stereo in the car. The rear panels were cut up to put the speakers in but
those are easy to find. I can ad some more pics tonight of the PHS doc's
too, I just can't find them right now.

after seeing the pics, i would leave it as is and maybe detail and correct small stuff as you go. Looks pretty good as it sits.

Mike, really nice looking car!! and a 4 spd too!

I agree with John, fix/detail the small stuff and enjoy driving it with the top down...

BTW, I had a '68 hardtop that color in the early 90's...that's my favorite color for a '68.

John, thanks for the compliment, it sure is a fun car here in Fl.

Wow! You learn something every day, I figured the '68's would bring more money than later years - no basis for that opinion, just a carryover from the Nova world. I think that car would be a lot of fun just the way it sits - including the stereo to overpower the wind noise

You'll find that same trend in Chevelles as well. 68 Chevelles are definitely less sought-after than the 69 and 70 models.

That color looks great on a convert. Nice car. Just get rid of the 400-4v decal in the air cleaner. That's just like having a "Caution Fan" sticker on a fan shroud in a Camaro.
