Do you have any pictures?
 
I see the big not stock "440 6 pack" on the dash. Is it a real six pack car? What is the engine code? The fifth digit should be a V.
 
Ive been reading vin numbers for years. I know what I have. The vin number is WM23V0A******

If you are concerned about what it is worth then you are barking up the wrong tree. With the price of parts and restoration even if you got the car for free you will be in it for more than what you can buy a done car for in this market.

If you have a love for this paricular car for some reason and want to buy and restore it, go for it. just don't expect to get your money back if you sell it in this market.
 
Let's try this. I'd like to see a pic of the fender tag. I dont need it but if your wanting to move it i still have about 40 acres without any cars on em. More pics please of the body panels. Fender wells? Hows the floors? Like 696 said, one can soak more money in one of these than it's worth. I know as i'm on a 64 Savoy post car as we speak. It might help matters if we only knew where it is that we would have to drive to get this car if we happen to make a deal on it so clue us in if you would please. Just a thought. Everyone has their own idea of what it's worth. What's yours?

It looks pretty rough but if your going to restore a car this would be the car to restore.Better pics are needed.Is there a fender tag and or buildsheet?
 
Jacob, we get a lot of newbies on this site so I had to ask about the VIN. There are those that would look at that dash and say it is a six pack. Just askin'! I disagree with 696pack - doing a resto on a 383 car would definitely be a gamble with a good chance of being upside down when you are done, but a six pack has more value and could be a good investment if you can do a lot of the work and shop carefully for parts. I see it is on eBay for $5k minimum bid. It might get that and maybe more. Of course, sometimes I'm wrong. Ask my wife!

Have you checked the prices of done cars with the cost of resto lately?
 
Hi Jacob, Just read your eBay add.

Does it still have the Dana 60 rear end? Earlier you had stated there was no fender tag :(. The roll bar is not factory. Any history on this car or being able to track down the drive train & fender tag? Or the 70 Bucket seat interior?

I am usually pretty optimistic
I wish you the best of luck with selling it.

Thanks
 
696, it all depends. I have a buddy who can do a damn nice paint job in his garage. 69Runner re-did a great 70 440+6 Challenger in his garage - he farmed out the paint and that's about it. Either of those guys could do a resto on any given vehicle cheaper than I can because they can do more of the work themselves. Doing a car like this 70 Superbee using all NOS parts and paying for a body shop, paint shop, machine shop, interior shop, etc. to do most of the work would be very expensive. It all depends on how much skill and time the owner has to do his own work vs. writing checks to other people.

I agree with all of this and have done it all different ways in the past. I just don't understand people not putting a value on their own time with all of it. After all, it is time you could be spending with your family or other fun things. it is different if it is a father son project.
 
Most car resto's conducted by a bloke in his garage are labors of love, therefore the enjoyment is all in the project. Time spent on the car IS time spent with the family and other fun things, because quite often the car is seen as a family member.

Now if you're just restoring a car to make some money on and have no emotional attachment to it, then any cream you make should be obvious in the selling price but there's the crux of it, buyers, when they know that you restored it yourself are generally not prepared to pay for your labor on what they think would have been a labor of love, after all you had fun restoring this car, why should I pay you for having fun??? That's how they think.

In order to extract at least some small compensation for your many hours in the shed, you'd need to have pulled off a very very high quality piece of workmanship and then they'll pony up the folding stuff but if it's something they think they could have done themselves, then don't expect to see a return on your hours.
