70 Chevelle Body and Restored Frame Value
Hey Guys, I posted this over at team Chevelle and did not get a ton of response. I thought I would also post it here to see if I could get some more opinions:
I just bought a 70 Malibu that has been sitting for 20 years. I bought it from the grandson of the original owner. He disassembled the car and separated the body from the frame. He then had the frame stripped, galvanized, and painted. New springs, ball joints, sway bars, KYB shocks, a 70 3.31 posi 12 bolt, etc. were installed. A ZZ1 and TCI TH350 were also purchased. I bought the car for the crate engine/trans and various other parts I needed.
The body is a very clean CA example. There is rear window rust but no other body issues other than surface rust.
My question is: A) What is the body shell worth? B) What is the restored frame worth?
I know there are alot of variables, just looking for a general idea. The car started life as a 350 2 barrel, auto, w/ A/C and was frost green with white bench interior. It is a one family owned car with about 75K original miles.
Thanks!
Jason
