'79 Arntz with 429 Cobra Jet

[jterp]

Posting this for a friend - as a feeler to help determine what this car is worth.
'79 Arntz cobra kit car -- has an original 429 cobra-jet (I believe the motor was from a mustang) and a 4 speed top-loader. Has all the usual Arntz specs- coil-overs all the way around as well as front and rear disc brakes. Jag rear end with 3.53 gear.

Car is in excellent shape -- runs strong and is very fast. Color is black with a silver stripe. Paint is shiny and has no dings or scratches. Has single stainless roll bar and stainless side pipes.

Car needs:
A new radiator
Brake pads all the way around
A new master cylinder (or rebuild the one on the car)


What would be a fair price for this car?
TIA

Anyone have an idea? we really don't know where to start on this car.

Perhaps nobody's answering because they don't feel you're looking hard enough. In about a minute with "Search CC", I came up with this

Big Block Arntz butler for sale

and this

Arnst with no engine or trans in San Carlos, CA

and I'm sure there's more if you dig. Try looking under "Butler", also, as I think Butler took over Arntz at some point.

About three or four years ago, I stopped to look at an Arntz with a SBC at a dealer's. It was a nice 20 foot car, but did need some attention. They were asking $30K.

There are no Arntz/Butlers currently listed on Cobra Country, although it's a good place to look.

Hope this helps.
