| Recently found one for sale here in Ohio. Report as follows:
Extremely solid car. Surface rust on hood from paint chipping (two 4" squares)
Paint: Not original, Dark Blue Metallic. Shiny (with exception to blemishes on hood) Car was originally green (light)
Seats / Interior: ripped / worn on drivers seat. Headliner sagging around doors and also has water damage around doors.
Incorrect ignition switch.
Car "supposedly" ran when the guy got it in 2004, but hes never had it running.
Currently the intake manifold is removed as well as the carbs seperated from the manifold. The Drivers side valve cover is off the engine.
Engine turns over by hand.
Glass good/ fog-free
Underside- no rust through.
Body: no apparent bondo, but I didn't check with a magnet.
What do you guys think on a value.
was thinkin around $2000-$2500, because of the engine being disassembled |

Location: bishop, ca | Jim, do you have any pics of the car?
Your price range sounds 'good', to me; depends on what you can afford to do, to the car, in restoring/restifying it, as to
whether it is a good deal for you.

| I did not get any pictures of the car. Since the engine has been partially disassembled, I would probably pull the engine and go over it and paint it the correct colors- as well as paint the engine compartment. My uncle is a transmission specialist, so I would have him look over the transmission as well.
I would like it to be a restored driver. Original car, good for the summer car shows, but definitely not a trailer queen. I mean geeze... these things were made to drive and enjoy.... |

Don't you start with the attitude here, young man !
You think you're too good to trailer your cars around and treat 'em like crystal paperweights ?

Location: DFW, TX | That sounds like a $4-8k car depending on its condition.
Remember that it has a 392 Hemi under the hood.
In fact, it sounds a LOT like the car that's in the For-Sale forum here, and the asking price is $7500 for it. Almost has to be the same car. |

Location: DFW, TX | Here's a link to another site with the car. Looks like the same car, you can even see the driver's valve cover is off.
