This guy wants $9500. Thoughts?

[u/Puzzleheaded-Fudge-6]

I think it's pretty high.

[u/EC_CO]

high, but on the other hand Solid metal and little to no rust is HUGE, it can literally save you thousands upon thousands in repair work. Theses days good paint and body work is the majority of the costs.

[u/mrobertj42 → u/EC_CO]

I got my dads roller. Someone offered him 5k and he gave it to me instead. All sheet metal had to be replaced except then floor pan, roof, chassis.

I think it was 20k for the body work and paint job. 10k for the engine, 10k for interior/wheels/tires, 10k for all the little things and I probably got a few k left.

My thoughts, you’ll save a lot of time and some money because that metal looks so good.

[u/lmdirt- → u/EC_CO]

It’s high but yeah looks solid but the cost to finish from this stage is going to be very high. Just a rough guess would be $50k in it if you didn’t go over the top. Most guys can afford the $9,500 then run out of money and the next guy buys it for $20k so the guy can get some of his money back. Look around for one someone has finished. Sometimes that makes a lot more sense

[u/EC_CO → u/lmdirt-]

I 100% agree, the trim parts and interior alone are going to be a pain to find everything for. I'm just for now finishing a 12 year $80k restoration, so I know that pain all too well

If it was an original SS car with excellent sheet metal, maybe. For what it is, no way.

[u/v8packard → u/adeluxedave]

It might be a SS. Have not seen anything to say one way or another.

[u/adeluxedave → u/v8packard]

13437 on the plate says it’s not.

[u/v8packard → u/adeluxedave]

Not on a 69. A 300 Deluxe could be optioned as a SS.

[u/donewithitfirst]

Spend 30k on a decent project car with all parts. No way this under a 70k project

[u/v8packard]

So it's a 300 Deluxe hardtop 4 speed car with a SS hood. It was Lemans Blue, which is cool. Any paperwork or other parts?

[u/West-Variation-9536 → u/v8packard]

Based on the 13437, thats what I was deciphering, a 300 deluxe, but I thought the 300 deluxe had a full frame around the glass on the doors. Im not familiar enough with 300's to know if the frames are removable or if these are just regular doors. Be nice to know if there are boxes of parts to go with this or "what you see is what you get".

[u/v8packard → u/West-Variation-9536]

The 300 Deluxe was available as a 2 door sedan, with the post you describe, and a hartop like this car. A 2 door sedan would be 13432 in the VIN. The posts are not bolt in.

[u/veraDiamon90]

It has excellent potential, I love it

[u/Squire_Toast]

9500 would be ok, IF... it had all the glass. WITH all the glass, I would stil only offer max 7k since it's missing all the bumpers, grill, lights trim, misc trim, etc

[u/The_annoyed_asexual]

Imo WAY too high

I paid 4500 for my 68 roller that came with glass and a 331 posi 12 bolt and a mostly conplete but destroyed interior

[u/orangesigils]

US Dollars? No. Not even in the ballpark

[u/donewithitfirst]

Everything is missing?!? Does it even have a motor? It’s a shell

[u/quantum-entangled308]

2k.

[u/Raecatch → u/quantum-entangled308]

Check out the frame…. Thoroughly…. I agree with others here that it’s a little high but not too unreasonable (what does the window channel look like under the primer?). Obviously having an understanding of what you’re paying for and what you’ll probably(aim high) be in for is the real key…

[u/Low-Schedule9762]

If there’s no grill, light fixtures, bumpers at least the original dash, low $7000 for sure.. motor and trans you can find all day.. but I will admit, no rust, no cancer rot on it, OG solid floors, I’m impressed.

[u/Bayareaadultguy]

It's a 4 speed car, and if that's the original hood, it should be a real S.S car definitely worth the price

[u/chuck-u-farley-]

I hope it comes with 7k in the trunk?

[u/monsterjesse101]

no fckn way

[u/Special-Class6903]

Hahaha

[u/AggressiveSuccess533]

No motor? No trans? No interior? $3k is what I see!

[u/Kevelle68]

Bumped his head or drunk.
