Opinions needed, what's it worth

[intocarss]

First off,, I am sorry if I put this in the wrong section. It is for sale, but I also need opinions. Mods feel free to move it. Thanks


This Camaro started life as a SS/RS 396. One of my friends owned it in the 70's and my best friend bought it in the mid 80's.. it was parked and sat for a few years. Then In mid 90's I myself stripped this car to the bone, the body was media blasted in my shop, then sent to a race fabricator for roll cage ,sheet metal, dry sump enclosure, mini tubed, custom metal work for gauges, removable mar guard lexan windows and more.

And If I remember correctly, NO body panels, floors or fenders were replaced all OEM no rust. I also know he has most of the OEM nuts bolts panels, RS complete grill, head lights, inner fender wells etc..

.It has all Global West category 5 suspension and brakes.. Currie 9" with 31 or 33 spline floater axles, Detroit locker, Jericho road race 4spd, race clutch, ceramic coated oval exhaust, 20 gallon fuel cell, Wilwood brakes. ALL NEW

The eng is a de tuned 377 cu in ex Spears NASCAR Craftsmen truck eng with new internals, Pontiac heads, dry sump, deep pulleys, custom headers, dynoed @ 625 Hp and I believe 500+ Tq (has dyno time only and one quick 10 min drive on the street ) . Engine is streetable...Car is on NON op and has a title.

The car was all together and running,, then taken apart for paint by a well known custom Swedish painter in Anaheim Ca at the cost of $6,000. The whole drive train,....all suspension,.... Dunlap 315 and 275 tires.... again, It's all brand new.

5-6 years ago this car was put in an enclosed trailer and has been sitting in there until yesterday when we pulled it out..for the first time.

My friend and I had a falling out and lost contact in 1997, I made a phone call 3 days ago and inquired about this Camaro, to maybe buy it (yes as of this week we are now friends again)


MY question is......What's a ball park figure on what this car could sell for in today's market?? Remember everything is there to get it running with about 60-70 man hours. I am guessing some of the stuff maybe "out dated" but 90% all new parts..This car was built to be a "streetfigher" to go get an ice cream or to race or do track days ..

The car is for sale

Is it worth lets say $45,000 ????? Opinions please

Any and all opinions, $$ offers, good or bad are welcome!!! Thanks

There are custom metal "oem looking" panels to hold tack speedo and water, oil gauges and switch panel etc in dash

Hey Jerry - sounds like a nice car w a lot of potential. Not too much of a project to get it roadworthy? $45k sounds high to me though. Offer still stands if you want to go check it together? We can put pencil to paper to see what it's got and what it'll need.

Hi there.
It seems like a nice projekt, I think the price is to high in todays marked.
If all it takes to get it running is 60 - 70 hours, go for it. from my point of view there will be more potentiel buyers, to a running car.
good luck with it
Martin

I shouldn't even comment - but if you can put that all together and have it good to go in 60 or 70 hours --- I want your number cause I have some projects that need a hand....

$45 seems REAL high.... If I was looking to buy it I'd be at 25K or maybe even less....

At the end of the day, it's a race car and that will hurt the value considerably. I'm diggin it, myself.

I'd get a rough idea of what it would cost to duplicate and make an adjustment from that number that makes you happy with the deal.
