A friend of mine is interested in a Chevelle that his brother in law is thinking about selling. I don't have personal knowledge of the car but here is the info as given to me:

1969 Chevelle SS
-396/375hp (CE block from early 1970)
-M21 and posi rear are the originals
-air pump? removed and in the trunk
-Green with black vinyl top and black interior
-44K miles
-Kansas built
-He is the second owner, bought the car with 8K
-No paint work besides a repair on the left front fender from being backed into in the driveway
-In storage since the 80's
-Good to Excellent unrestored condition
-Unsure what paperwork is available

paperwork is important, but what's your question??

Sorry, I had it in the title but not the post.

What's it worth?

OK, I'll take a stab at it.

Since your friend's brother-in-law bought the car with 8K miles on it, I am assuming that he has owned it for 35+ years. That speaks volumes, but not as many volumes as if there was real paperwork on the car. If we assume no paperwork exists, I would guess in the $40K neighborhood. If paperwork does exist, I'd say add $10K.

Thanks for the input. Unfortunately, at this point there is a lot of "lets assume this and that" but I appreciate your help.

In your opinion, again assuming the info is correct, how much does the CE block affect value?

[Bill Pritchard]

Probably somewhere in the $10 - $15K range
