LETS HAVE SOME OPINIONS OF WIW ON THIS CAR

V-code or not, 5K max. Some cars are rare for a reason.

45K is a little crazy. I used to own a '70 Sport Fury. It was impossible finding parts for it. You'd basically have to buy another complete car with the same interior and simply carve it up for metal replacement and transfer over the good interior parts.

At the end of the day, a car is worth what someone is willing to pay for it. I obviously find it more "valuable" than most here on the board as I had one and know how impossible it is to find a 'Rapid Transit System' Sport Fury. With that said, I think $45K is way too much in that shape. MAYBE, $17-20K, and this is from someone who really likes these cars and would love to own one.

A lot closer to zero than what he is asking. No wonder it's rare.

that car needs a donor car in the deal, plus you better check it does not have a salvage title in its closet of secrets. cool car when restored.

AND ANOTHER 45,000 TO RESTORE

what title?

[al8apex]

a guy can dream can't he?

That is what I see, some junk collector that has DREAMS of his junk being worth big money because he had the foresight to save these pigs from the crusher, all that is IMHO, so YMMV, etc

Pretty sure no one else shares his dreams though

as noted above, even if it were FREE it would be a bad deal, PLUS the salvage issue, etc

So what's the reason?

Would you say the same excuse if it was a L78 convertible? Or are they rare for a different reason?

[Dave Rifkin]

Am I the only one who thinks it is a cool car? Very rough and would cost way more than it's worth to restore but, a cool car nontheless.

Nope, rare for the exact same reason. In 1969, why would you buy an L78 'vert when a hardtop is lighter, faster and cheaper? Same with a HemiCuda 'vert in 1970. Or, in this car's case, why buy a Fury when Six Barrel Runner is lighter, cheaper, and could hand this car it's a** on a plate? Don't get me wrong, I dig L78 'vert's. I like the rarity and now, four decades later, I attach a higher value due to that rarity. But this car is not a Chevelle. Or a 'Cuda. Rare doesn't automatically equal desirable.

Let me put it this way. If somebody announced tomorrow that they had come up with a 70 LS6 Caprice, I would think it was cool, a neat find, but I sure wouldn't assign it the same value as an LS6 Chevelle convertible. Neither car would be the first choice of most performance car buyers in 1970, but no way any 70 full-size is ever going to have the same "cool" factor as a Chevelle 'vert, at least in my opinion.

I'm not dismissing the car out of hand. When I say that in my opinion it's worth five thousand, I'm taking into account it's rarity and desirability. If it were anything but a factory Six Barrel, I would've said five hundred, and choked a little pricing it that high.

This guy is asking Six Barrel Road Runner money for this thing. Which car would you rather have?
