67 Caprice 427 - Any thoughts?

[Shevelle]

We just ran across this car, a 67 Caprice 427 with column auto. It has been in storage for the past 20 years. Still owned by the original owner who is ready to part with it. While I'm not normally attracted to this kind of car, I find this one to be strangely appealing due to it's unique color combo (Royal Plum w/Plum interior), originality, and of course the 427. But I have no idea of how to place a value on it. It was dark when we looked at it and it is stored in a dimmly lit storage bldg so we will go back armed with more light. The owner said the motor has never been out, which appears to be true. It is covered in dust so it is hard to tell if the paint is in fact original as the owner said it was. The interior looks perfect, just dusty. From what we could see, the undercarriage looks solid with just surface rust. The car has been in the dry SW all its life and has 47k miles. Owner didn't think they had any paperwork, but there was a pile of stuff in the glove box and I wouldn't be surprised to find the POP in there and a buildsheet somewhere. Any thoughts on what a fair offer might be on something like this?





















PS: This nice little T-Bird was there too. We are going back today to look again..if anyone knows someone that might be interested I will take a closer look at it.

Is that the ultra rare, factory installed, rats' nest under the air cleaner? (Has to be a rats' nest since it's a big block - only the small blacks got the mouse nests)

Neat car with a great color combination. Buy it now!

I sold last year the twin to this car {Royal plum/plum interior except mine was just a 283 car and I have a Plum SS 427 car now. Im really into these plum cars. Plum interior was only offered in the caprice line and is very rare. That looks like a cool car. I got 10k for mine so we know this car is north of that at least. go for it. I know that id love to have it next to my 427 car! The only thing that looks wrong is the air cleaner.

Looks like she is wanting 30k....I'm guessing that's waaay too much. I'll just have to try to talk her down..

[Postsedan]

$30K is way too much for that car.... keep pressing and good luck!

If she was smart she`d call the artist formerly known as "Prince" LOL.

Well, had a good look. Orig motor, orig paint, POP. Owner wouldn't take less than 25k, so I'm on my way home empty-handed. It was a really cool car!.

Sorry you didnt get it but to tell you the truth from my stand point I dont think 25k for that car is out of line. Its still a real 427 car in rare colors. the only thing that kills it for me is the chick stick and bench seat. He should have never showed you the car looking like that. Thats what makes it look cheap.
