    That AC would be off of that car faster than a prom dress if I bought it. Horrible. Nice car otherwise though

    What is the cable around the console?

    I’m guessing the switch and the green light is for the lights behind the grill?

    Wow - That car would be great to have based on the description.

    Who is selling it?
    Is that a broker, the owner, or someone who bought it and reselling?

    Hi all

    Just out of curiousity, what would be a fair selling price for this car given all that we know about it?

    The bid got to 50k. I think the value is what someone is willing to pay. Personally I think 50k is about right.

    I agree. It is at the buy it and enjoy it price. Detail it. Always have to look at what a restoration costs and what money it would be worth in the end.

    I agree Ryan, assuming it's not a Stage 1, that the ad is accurate, and that all the hard to find and/or GSX only parts are there. I might pay a $10k premium depending on an inspection as I do think any truly rust free original sheetmetal car deserves a price premium or at least it should IMHO.

    Colors being equal, assumptions above being correct, and not kowing the "actual retail price" of either, would one rather pay let's say $55-60k for this one or $25-30k for the White basket case 18k mi. NOM Stage 1 4-sp. Barn (formerly under a tree) find.

    I'd almost certainly (although I'd have to think about it with the other being a 4-sp/Stage 1) opt to pay a premium for this one and enjoy it from day one, never do a full resto on it, and probably be able to do some tinkering to fix some of the minor issues (i.e. make it into a true survivor status) & be able recoup every dime put into it and maybe even then some. The white one may be worth $150k after one puts $120k into it, but you're in for a long road. Money wise it may be a wash, but what's it worth to be able to enjoy the car for 5 years and be able to much more easily turn around and sell it.

    Each car IMO is worth it just depends on personal preference. These cars will still increase in value. Look at the Hemi Cudas. Rough barn find cars going for hundreds of thousands now.
