Looking at a 68 Coronet 440 coupe, originally a 318 car now has a 440 (auto trans). Car has been repainted, going to estimate paint is 7/10 from photos I have. Has headers, exhaust, edlebrock carb. The owner says the motor ran when it was first put in but it has been at 2 different shops getting "finished" for the past 10 years. Owner was recently told the motor is now making noise and they believe it is due to the fuel pump leaking into crankcase. I do not really have more details than that, sounds like it could needs a bottom end? I'm brand new to mopars and classic cars in general but have a good deal of time working on vintage harley's.
Just want some opinions on value. Buyer is asking $25k which is what he has into it. I feel for him after hearing the horror stories from the 2 shops but I'm hesitant to spend that with the unknown problems.
Thanks!
