I admit to being a lifelong Mopar guy and have done many since the mid 80's, and have been playing with mainly A bodies for the last 15 years. But I am wearing out and need to find a B body project before I get too old to do it! I love the 68- 70 Runners Bees but we know how many $ and how bad those project cars are now. I love the early B bodies but a decent comlete car is way hard to find. I love the 66 Belvedere or 67 and would not turn my nose up at a decent 66-7 Coronet project. So those are my attention getters today.
I will not ask the what is it worth question, but I will give my opinion. Please tell me if wrong. You guys that have been playing with these models know what stuff actually sells for.
66-& B bodies have never been highly sought after IMHO. There are NO decent qtr patch panels I am aware of. I figure a restored "driver" as I call it, that is a car with all the rust repaired, and decent paint, good mechanicals and GOOD interior will be at about $7-8000.
I do all my own work, so I just figure costs of parts, nothing for my labor! but I figure it places a decent 66-7 Bel. or coronet , complete project at $1500-2000.
I know the economy is good but I really don't see any of our old Mopars selling well at all.
I did pick up a decent 66 Bel post car roller 3 yrs ago before I sold my cars to move to Tx. It cost me $1000 and 8 hr road trip. But the kid had to sell or the wife would divorce him!!
Anyway I am on the hunt for a decent 66-7 Bel or Coronet project. I am in SE Tx but I lived up in Missouri for 37 years. I liv drive 500 hundred mi for a good car, but I NOT interested in anything from the Rust belt!!
I will place a wanted here in FBBO also.
Thanks guys.
