As posted previously, I'm considering pulling the trigger on a 1971 Road Runner. I know "value" is wildly subjective, but I'm trying to figure out if the asking price is remotely reasonable. It's been a long time. Intent is to restore to a clean driver condition. Something to enjoy on nights and weekends and be a keeper, not a flip.
Vehicle in question is a rolling factory RM code B5 Blue, 340-4bbl, automatic, Road Runner, w/center console, bucket seats, A/C car, disc brakes, 26" radiator, half vinyl roof. No tranny. The car will come with what appears to be the original block, heads, intake, and crank. It will also come with another complete 340 taken out of a boat.
Rust on one front fender, no rust in trunk pan. Will need rust repair in the floor (passenger rear was only evidence) but rails and rockers all seem ok. Common areas for window rust seem ok too. Surprisingly no signs of rust under the vinyl. Both bumpers are present and in good shape. Glass is all there. Wiring/under dash in good shape and not a rat's nest.
Car is complete and there are no signs of being hacked on or modified, but interior will need redone, carpets, front seat covers etc...asking price is $6500. Obnoxious? In the right range? Good deal? Just looking for opinions to color my decision.
