'69 X77 302DZ Camaro Barn Find
 
What's this car worth? It is a barn find that was just offered to me for the right price, if I offer it, from THE ORIGINAL OWNER.
OK about the car:
99000 miles on the car, it is fair to rough. He has all documentation, protect-o-plate. It has the original 302DZ engine, single 4 barrell carb, M21, 12 bolt, fold down rear seat, all numbers matching except for the starter and altenator. The car has the original battery in it. It is nicely optioned as well, rear defrost, power disk brakes, guage package, everything is there. I just don't know what it's worth. I work with the guys wife and he wanted to offer it to me before anyone else.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If it still has the original battery, I'd offer at least $1,000,000, as that must be an advanced alien-technology power source that you can sell for huge profits.

Otherwise, maybe $15K?

Not enough info...
What color ext? int?
Cowl hood?
Still wearing original paint?
How original are the factory finishes?
Any rust? if so where?
Running and driving?
Color and condition are going to be the main factors here...

15k... you could part it for more... I think that barnfind blue car out of NY that needed a total resto sold for 20k a few years ago... not running...

"Barn Find" is probably the most inaccurately-used term going these days. Maybe the term should be "barnyard find" (aka: Steamy gold) for cars that have no chance of a quick and low-effort resurrection.

My definition of "barn find" is when you pull back the cover, change the fluids, brake calipers, water pump/radiator, and are motoring in a few weekends... ...instead of dragging some derelict mess home. Granted, it is what it is, but hype cools off, and then what are you left with?

In the current market, at anything north of $15K, you're going to be upside-down in grand fashion. Any car of this ilk (99K miles and stored poorly) means that it was ridden hard and put away wet when it either became too ugly to drive, or broke something, meaning that you'll have to go through EVERYTHING and have a $50K car in today's market.

A restoration done yourself you'd be upside-down on just on your money, and not including your time. A restoration you pay for-- Forget it. A 'nice' paint job is $10K these days. And that's just paint. Not to mention that you wouldn't be driving that thing until 2011 at the soonest....

Sounds like a recipe for disaster...

If you try to buy one the correct way... ie backing out costs. You will end up having to get someone to pay you to take it away in order to makethe money wash out...

Pictures and more info will get the questions answered. As for the battery.............I'm slightly suspect it is in fact the original. Starter & Battery replaced but the battery hung in there ?
