What's it worth?

CW, I dont get your last request, you have the book values on the car, what else is there?, if it is a moral issue it sounds like it is worth low book, if not give as little as possible to buy the car like anyone else would, I am strictly a 67 guy so if you dont want it let me know.

budnate- The owner's had the car since '83, one owner before that, and right now the title has been misplaced. Saw the car again today, I don't know what he's going to ask for the car, got a feeling it could be slightly over 10K. Just trying to get a feel for a decent price. The car's interior is cooked, you can imagine, typical issues with a car that was under a shed for a long, long time.

Thanks-

I understand, tough place to be, Shoot me some pics by e-mail and I can give a second opinion on the car,If it helps, 10k plus sounds a litle strong for the car in this market, but you have seen the car, who knows?

Bud.

$10K sounds a little high. If you figure you need to the whole interior, new paint which will lead to new chrome or rechroming, the engine/trans/rear could give out the first day you drive it, new tires, etc. The car is probably worth $17-20K in top notch condition so 10K doesn't leave much room to work with. I'd guess around 8K. If someone else wants to pay 10K, let them.

Jeff- Thanks. You are correct, the engine didn't even smoke when we cranked it but I know it will, the valve seals have to be rotten. Same case with the gas tank hoses. I'll let you know soon when I get a price.

Thanks-
