(Description below) WIW? Have seen car in person and it looks very close to the pic. Good quality paint that needs to be wet sanded and buffed with a straight solid body with original panels. Owner has now become motivated to sell and has dropped the asking price over $7,000 and will take even less. I am not going to tell how much he is asking because I want unbiased opinions. Interior looks good, engine detail is pretty good, solid and clean underneath, etc.

If it is real and as described, I would think mid $30K pretty easy, maybe more to someone who really likes the color combo (I do, but so many people seem to like Hugger Orange cars....)
 
21k-34k in todays world..maybe a touch better if shes really nice!
 
If it has born with drivetrain and GM sheetmetal and is as nice as it looks, no way $20K buys that car. The market is down, but not that much. I would guess that the same car in complete condition, solid but needing resto would bring $20K.
 
While you're at it with wet sanding and buffing, get the grille surround painted the corred body color. This is one of my personal pet peeves on restorations.

But it's not a restored car. If it were a frame off then I could see in the 30's.

It's been on ebay a number of times, and if I remember correctly, does not bid higher than mid 20's, and some of that may be shilling.

I don't disagree that it's a killer nice car, but SS350's are not in demand right now.
LM1's are in the same boat.

Heck, I've seen some BB SS396's in this condition going for in the 30's lately.

Mine too! Especially when everything else on a car is done so nicely, why are the front end grills not finished! Or worse yet, how about taking a '69 Z28 non-RS that is numbers matching/restored with fresh paint and has a BLACK grill in addition to it not having the surrounding area painted. I've seen it more than once :)
 
I see some things that are wrong. Pics of the pad stamping would be nice.

Mid to upper 20's depending on quality of resto and numbers.
