70 Chevelle SS 396 vert ?

[Bruce]

I was contacted by a friend yesterday, concerning a 70 Chevelle SS 396-350HP convertible, he has a chance to buy it and was asking me if I had any idea on what a fair value would be for this car. I told him I would check with you guys here and see what you all think.
His discription is (I have not seen the car myself)
numbers matching,original black bucket int, has had 1 repaint non original color, now red w/ black stripes, was silver/ blk. no rust, auto console,tach dash,P.W. P.L. vigilite monitoring system, am 8-track front and rear speakers,cowl hood, tilt wheel, 60k miles, ss wheels with goodyear wingfoots.Under hood has incorrect hose clamps and battery, but otherwise original.
I was thinking 50-55K, what do you guys think?
Thanks
Bruce

That price sounds about $20K high to me.

I agree.Around here a car like that brings 30-35K.
Converts sag in the middle in time by Design,and most who own these drive the heck out of them,as they really are Fun to ride in.
Having the original Engine-Trans.-Rearend,& the Buildsheet,P-O-P,etc.are very important with a car like this.Previous owners contact is a plus too.
That color change is so common also.

A guy called into the local radio station here the other day trying to win a bet with his girlfriend he said his aunt passed away and left him a 1970 Chevelle convert with an Ls6 motor and 4 speed and all original, his girlfriend didn't believe it was worth anything and he says it was.I don't know these cars could it be a true car?

That is possible Ed.
But because you live in Calif.,Could this have been the same guy? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Thanks for input , I forgot to ad the car has Air conditioning, cushion grip, map light mirror and washer monitor. How much increase would the air be on a convertible?
