ok. i just want to try to get an estimated value on my car so i can decide how much i want to put into the restoration of it. im not looking to make money on the car when its done. i just dont want to lose my a** on it.

its a non-numbers matching '68 hardtop RS. it will undergo a full restoration and i will be putting in a 454 (or some variation of one) in it with a turbo350 tranny. it has a 12 bolt posu rear with a 3.73:1 gear ratio. it is a non a/c car and i will probably keep it that way. it will NOT be a drag car. im just looking for a ballpark on what it would be worth, ie $10k, $15k etc, when it is restored.

thanks for your help

Depends on the quality of the restoration. Could be anywhere from 10K to 50K, that's too hard of a question to answer without more definitive info......IMHO.

Want my opinion on what mine is worth or going to be worth?

PRICELESS...

Ha..I wouldnt sell mine at no offer. Too much hard work has gone in to this and I can say I did it myself (with the help of people on here of course)...honestly you will never be able to get out of it what you have into it, considering your time, and keeping track of every trip to the autoparts or hardware store...on the other hand, you wont ever lose you butt on restoring the car as it seems these always gain in value at least for now..to give a number...it depends on the quality of your resto job, if you are in the right place at the right time and someone really wants the car you have restored...there are a lot of variables in to what you could get for it.

im not worried about the time. just the actual money invested into it. i plan on it being an excellent restoration. anything that looks like it might possibly need to be replaced will be replaced

I would say around 13k

I would say 15k-25k, depending on the quality and attention to detail. Have fun and remember... it's YOUR car and YOUR money!!! Good Luck!!!

When you're done, send it my way. I'd happily pay that for a fully restored '68.

What ever someone would be willing to pay you for it and that would depend on how much time and money and effort you put into the resto.

OK... if somebody offered a couple of hundred grand, I'd bet you change your tune

Why worry about the value if it is what you want, and like. How many
people buy a new car just because they want it. Every new car buyer
will loose big in 3 to 5 years when they get another new one. I don't
plan to sell my 69 SS 350 ever. But if I do, and loose a little on it,
it will have been some of the best money spent.
