What is it worth?

[Chris_69_SS]

Before I go on, I want to be clear this is not a fishing expedition. I have owned this car since 1991 and will never sell it. Just too many good memories and besides, I know the car like the back of my hand, including it's history. Bought it for 2500$ and drove it away and used it as a daily driver!!!

That said, I do get lots of inquiries from familly and friends as to its worth, especially after I had the body done last winter (Thanks go out to Fred Fillion for his awesome work).

What do you think this car is worth in its present state?

In so far as original drivetrain, it only has the born with diff.

Car has GM paperwork and was born as follows:

L34 / M20 / non posi 3.55s
Lemans blue with DK blu vinyl top
buckets / no consloe / idiot lights
astro ventilation / front disk brakes
Z25 option : ^ )

Now has a 454, TH400, 4.10 posi, all new taiwanese sheet metal.

Any insight would be great.

Thanks,

Chris

Tell them Priceless in YOUR mind.. Why put a # on it if you are never going to sell it !!

[Chris_69_SS]

I agree. Just thought it would be nice to see what others think. To me the car is a 30-35k car. It is appraised for and insured for that amount anyways. of course, I have way more into it over the last 16+ years and numerous engines / tranny combos / previous bad body jobs etc, etc...

as for wanting to put a number on it....it is just for fun. sort of a bs session! plus, it is slow at work.

You might want to watch e-bay and see if anything sells like your car.. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif

I have GM docs from George Z. I got these in 92 and at that time they also sent you a copy of the broadcast sheet that had a few cars before and after yours with all option codes / key codes / dealer codes etc...kinda cool. they don't have these now as they threw them all out!!!

You've gotta be pretty talented with the gear rowin'!! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

[Chris_69_SS]

Actually, I suck at rowing....that's why I swapped it to a TH400.

Actually, the real reason for swapping to auto was I was busting up M20's weekly. Did I mention the 11.30 was on the rev limiter about 100 feet out? hehehe...shhhhhh
