Hey, I know this is very difficult to decide without pics and I will try to get some ASAP. What I found is a 1968 RS/SS 4 speed car all #'s matching. The guy selling it has started a complete frame off resto and it is to the paint stage. All the body work is done, he claims every nut and bolt has been either cleaned up or replaced correctly. The car is completely dismantled but he does have every part to the car. The trim and chrome is in pretty fair shape, the interior does have the original console and buckets and is in decent shape. The 350 has never been rebuilt and he claims runs good. He did mention that he was planning on going through it though. I guess I have no idea how much more $ it would take to paint and put back together and what it is worth as well as what it would be worth. Any help or ideas? Thanks:thumbsup:

Depending on the quality of the restoration, I would guess that finsished the car would sell in the $35k range....so with that in mind I would guess 40%-50% of that cost would be about right.....$14k to $17.5k......as it's gonna take at least $15k to put her back together....

Again, the quality of the resto...will have everything to do with price...also does the car have all it's original sheetmetal.....does he have pics of what the body looked like when he media blasted it.....how good of body work did he actually do??
