50-65K if a 385hp more if 425hp

One of the gurus may know from the redline (5400-5500?) on the tach

I looked at this car last year at a service station in Randolph Ma. The car needs a full restoration. Fenders ,quarters even the hood is rotted pretty bad . The underside isn’t that great either. In my opinion you’d be upside down before you’re halfway done. Nice car finished with the right color combination if money isn’t a factor.

Do you know if it was a 385hp or 425hp?

From the picture of the tach's 5500RPM redline it appears that it was originally a L36 427

The car is being discussed on the 1968 Chevy page on Facebook and another guy that has seen it says it needs a complete rebody as everything is too far gone to save. Would make a great looking car when done, but sounds like it best as scrap.

That's too bad. Too many people are just to money hungry these days and everything or everybody is paying the price. I don't care who you are or what you do, were ALL affected in a negative way by the BJ auction being on national TV. I don't mean to piss people off, but now everyone is looking and trying to make a buck. Our community as a whole has suffered due to this. And us "car guys" that actually have a passion for these cars can not, in good conscience, save a car like this that needs everything.

Too bad. This would have been a nice car to save and drive. My FIRST car was a 1968 GTX convert. 440 4 sp Dana 4.10 car. Black with black top and red interior. Something like this would have fit the bill to bring me back to when I was 16 but in a Chev. But being too "upside/down" on a resto and the cost to bring this back just doesn't spending the $$$ on a build like this for ME. Others might feel different or have the extra $$$ not to care. Either way I hope it does get saved but for the $$$ the seller is looking for, I just don't see it happening.
