Im not to sure if this is an appropriate question for a public forum... I've cleaned on the car for 20+ hrs., the car has exhaust leaks at headers, leaks no oil “knock on wood” the carb is loading up. Other than that I give the car a high 80’s grade. ERA 193 I have bought and traded a few old cars but never a kit. I was told by the previous owner that it was a 427, but I cant tell.. at this point it does have I believe 66 428 heads. There's only one thing I love more than driving cars “when it come to cars mind you” and that is to sale a car make a little and see a happy person ride away. I'm a horse trader. The question is “in theory what is the fair market value of this car?” I know that a hard question without seeing the car etc.... I just trying to get some input on deal no deal..Thanks
If the car truly has a sideoiler and not a top or center oiler (or 390 block), $38,000 is about right.. Color combination will be a factor in this one though as it is not the typical color combinations most people are looking for, same goes for whether it has a convertible top, side curtains, and/or a tonneau cover. No mention of a heater either, so we really need to know all of the specs on the car. Better pictures of the dash, engine compartment, wheels, rear suspension, and trunk would be a good place to start. once I have at least the above, I can then narrow down a expected selling price for the car.


Will await your detailed response, along with better pictures, and we can go from there.
