'70 Superbee in this condition is worth...

olddog67 · Oct 29, 2018

The storey is it had a complete restoration 15 years ago (Im gonna call it a repaint by the looks of it lol), drove it less than 100km and then met a moose and has been parked for over 10 years.
I am told by the seller it is all original numbers matching 383 4 speed 'post' car.
One picture is after the hit when the PO had it, the seller has somewhat straightened out the car as you can see from the other photos.
I can tell you from the photos I have been sent that when it was 'restored' they either didn't know the underside of the car was there or just added more undercoating and said good nuff.
I did some searching and from what I can see they do not repop the entire quarter panel or front bumper so that is a problem. The hood, fender, trunk lid, trunk filler panel are also questionable on repairing.
What do you think this car is worth as it sits...in Canadian dollars if ya dont mind! or at least advise if it is American or Canadian $'s please!

Depending on you skill level and how much you plan to do yourself. Maybe $3-$4,000? (That would be American.)
They remake the quarters, just not the full quarter and not the highest quality. If it were me, I would loook for a better starting place.

Personally I dont think I would give over $2k USD... Unless I heard the motor, shifted the trans and verified rust was minimal. Is the interior complete? Has it been covered for the last 10 yrs and what is your goal for it?
There's a lot missing from that rear...at the roof line

olddog67 · Oct 29, 2018

He sent me a video of the motor running, sounds okay but cant tell much from a video. The interior was replaced when the car was restored he said and seems to be okay from the photos. I do know where there is a donor car for the panel and maybe a few other parts I can get pretty cheap.

I can do 98% of the work myself so that doesn't bother me, I would like to have a nice DD out of it but if I tell you what he is asking for it...well he will have it awhile based on your guys ballparks.
We did discuss a trade with my charger and I would be good with that if I was getting a fair trade, but my car is worth a hell of a lot more than 4 grand in any currency lol.

Mike67 · Oct 29, 2018

It's all subjective , remember we are only going off a few photos...If it's a car you've always wanted and feel that it is solid enough go for it.
I would try to see it in person and make your decision then. Make a parts list figure in labor on what it would take to get it where you want it.
I would be more worried valuing your car correctly as it's a complete car....then you could male a logical decision...
Good luck!

Plum crazy paint helps

munger77 · Oct 29, 2018

3-4 k in my opinion.

WP29440SE · Oct 29, 2018

you could make 6 grand in parts alone. he's probably asking 8 for it. I would pay 5

olddog67 · Oct 30, 2018

20,000 firm is his asking price. Thanks for everyone's input.

BeeKool · Oct 30, 2018

20000k is utterly absurd.
It's worth 5k max.

This guy will own it the rest of his life

dla4567 · Oct 30, 2018

Well, that makes it an easy decision.

olddog67 · Oct 30, 2018

I have always wanted a '70 Bee, they dont come up for sale too often around here and when they do they are in the $35-50,000 range so I wasnt sure if he was in the ball park or out in corn field with his price. Now I know.

mopar_chuck · Oct 30, 2018

I’m from Canada too and stuff does go for higher up here for 2 reasons. 1) our money is worth less. 2) very rarely do Mopar’s ever come for sale simply because there are very few around.

That being said, if the underside of the car is solid and doesn’t need a bunch of work, I would say $8-10k.

Since you say you can do most of the work yourself, for an extra $10k to put into it, you would have a car worth about $30k at the end of the day.

Around here I would say around 5-6 G's these days. Crazy what just project cars are going for. Everyone keeps complaining that old cars are dying out. Well, everyone keeps on pricing themselves right out of business. My kids (next generation) can not afford what people want for this crap now days.

A lot of restoration on that one. A lot expensive replacement parts such as the grills. They do repop those but at 7 to a grand and not that good of repop but then again it is a hobby and what hobby doesn’t cost $$.

Run, too expensive

Did the front end collision damage the chassis rail or inner fender? For the money he's asking you should keep looking I reckon.

Sorry for off topic.. Do you have any experience with the repop grilles? How is the quality/fitment compared to OE?

I have heard they are not that good from different people. If I was you and needed a grill I would go with maybe Dan Besil or mike Mazelis. I would go with one of those before a repop
