Found this locally. The guy is asking 16,500. Clean title with fender tag. Originally 383 auto, now has what is supposedly a 440hp six pack motor. I don't believe the interior is factory. Looks to have typical to slightly past typical rust, but supposedly solid frame rails. What is a good fair price for something like this?
 
Here are some photos

I don't know what it should worth but it IS a 69 Super Bee!!! To me if it is complete and decent shape, I would say it seems like a decent deal if you are looking for a project car to replenish
 
My concern is the rot. It’s easy to get in over your head on that with these. It seems to have the typical rust
 
$12000-$13000 unless you have unlimited funds
to restore.
Everything costs more than you think when restoring.
 
It is complete and not boxes of bits - but agree with earlier posters it always costs more to restore a car than buy one.
 
Is 15k decent, or losing a ton? Needs trunk, floors window corners and dropoffs/lower quarters for sure.

I paid 15k for the one I bought last year. Similiar condition by the looks of things. Mine may have been in a bit better condition, but you wont know till you strip it. Mine did have the original motor, M46 side scoop option, and the bumpers had already been rechromed. I figured I overpaid by 3k, but I had been looking for a decent restorable one for years and finally said screw it and pulled the trigger. There really aren't a lot of Bees around. Far fewer were produced than Chargers or Road Runners.

If the numbers block was in the trunk
15k wouldn't be horrible.
The thing is to go find another
Ship it and all the hassle
It might be worth it to you
Just to go for it as it is right in front of you
Throw 14 in his face and see if he bites

A desirable model you will always pay more.
Maybe look at it from the other way - what would it be worth in good condition and drive away.
Work back from there factoring in estimated costs to repair it. Most sellers think there car is worth more than it perhaps is in reality.
 
How much would you figure a complete six pack motor is worth? If it is indeed a factory HP motor with the period correct intake and carbs?

Just factoring in value here. It would need some rust repair, but it should be drivable with a carb rebuild, brake rebuild, new tires, gas tank and fuel lines. I have a 68 charger that is a bare project, This could be a kind of cool ratty muscle car until I got around to doing things.
 
Neat car, my favorite year and model! Complete car, 440 6 pack motor, needs quarters, dutchman panel, trunk floor, extensions, door corners have rot, probably interior floors. I'd be a player at $14k...but verify framerails and cowl are solid.
 
Not sure how the cowl is. I have a spare cowl and firewall from a 70 roadrunner, but it does seem to have rot at he bottom of the windshield. Not sure that is a good sign for the cowl

did you buy it yet?
what are you waiting for?
 
No, I’d have to sell one of my toys to buy it. I also won’t be able to see it in person until Friday. I just want to make sure it’s a decent deal. The owner claims to have turned down 15k and is firm at 16.5k.
 
Seems high, but I don’t know super bees as well as my experience is limited and mainly with roadrunners or chargers
 
IMO a bee will be worth a little more then a comparable runner
less of a supply with equal demand
but then having 2 I'm a little biased..
15k was a fair offer
wonder why he didn't sell it
 
I cross posted this on the Facebook B body group. 129 responses later, half day 5k tops or parts car, half day running its 16k minimum. Between me and my brother, that’s not an issue. I’m sure he could even do a lot of the body repair. It’s just material and time. What is this think really worth? The six pack I hear is worth 3 alone. If it’s a complete 440hp and six pack, I’d assume the motor is 4-5k.
