So I bought this car last year knowing it was in bad condition. It needed new quarter panels, a roof, doors, fenders, trunk, hood, floors, wheel tubs, etc etc. The car was being converted from an automatic to a manual. It had a clutch pedal, manual steering column and trans tunnel bump out.
The engine was an unknown, non matching 440.
The cars wiring was there but nothing was hooked up.
The interior was tattered and so far, all I’ve saved are the seat frames, the dash frame and maybe a few pads. It was a console car.
The brake lines were cut or not hooked up and there was no fuel tank.
The car had 4 different sized wheels!
The good news was it’s an SE with factory air.
My question to the forum is what would this car be worth in this condition? Or what would you consider to be a fair price.
I’m doing the restoration labor myself so I doubt I’m upside down but I’d like to know if I over-paid for the car originally.
Thanks in advance for your opinions!
The cars current condition can be seen in “photo garages”.
