1968 Charger value - HELP

[1968rt]

Looking at a 68 Charger. Car has all new sheet metal and in prime and zero rust. Car is a bare shell with boxes of parts and new interior. I would guess that 90% of the parts are present. Needs paint and assembly. Original R/T 440 car. Comes with a non matching rebuilt 440. I can do the work myself. Im just trying to figure a fair price. What do you guys think?

how extensive is the metal work? pics?

So is all the body work done and the car is in primer ready to paint or is it just in primer to get it all one colour after the new metal was put in ?

"Needs paint" most likely means that someone has got to straighten out the inferior/amateur bodywork.

Car was handled by a reputable shop. I looked it over it was not an amateur job. After all the body work was done car was completely primed .Needs to be blocked sanded and sealed. New quarters, trunk floor and front floor. Sorry no pictures right now.

honestly, it could be a train wreck depending on who worked on it

I agree with the others about beeing leary of trusting what is under fresh primer. It is too easy to hide shotty metalwork. I have kind of the same thoughts on a "freshly built" motor. I wouldn't give much for that unless you know who put it together, what's inside, and saw it run on a dyno.
But hey, it is a 68 Charger, so it has that going for it, lol.

Rusty non-R/T shells with missing parts are going for $15k if that is a hint.

The art of negotiation is to appear unknowledgeable, be polite, and start low.
