Lynn, you're absolutely right. This car needs a frame up restoration. Its numbers matching and the car well deserves to be done right. I can do that but someone with the passion to build and keep the car will want it just like it sets. It's all there except for a few parts that are fairly easy to obtain. Personally I would love to do this car but I got too much to do as it is.
Now, where does a person start on what to ask? I have been using NADA to get an idea of the value of the cars and motorcycles I work with because their site is easier to navigate through. But they are higher than giraffe ears on most classics.
Also, if you put 1997 Chevrolet Camaro Z10 and go directly to the NADA value from the search engine you get a quote of around $61,000.00. If you go into NADA from their home page and navigate through their site to the value. When you factor in the RS/SS options A/C etc. etc. they throw out a value of $112,000.00.
So where does one start? If I list it in the classifieds here I have to list a price. I don't want to start too high and I don't want to start too low.
I already have one strike against me. Two weeks ago I sold the 2000 Ford Lightning pick-up that my boss had. It had 17,000.0 actual miles on it and was like new. NADA listed high retail at $13,300.00 based on the low miles. I sold the truck for $16,000.00. Two days later someone contacts the bosses wife to buy the truck and when they were told it sold they tell her they would have given $20,000.00 for it. A couple days later an identical truck with 1700.0 miles sells on eBay for $28,500.00 I shot myself in the foot. Anyway so much for my flying finger of fate. I am a mechanic with a passion for old cars and bikes. I'm helping my boss and close friend that is no longer here to see over this stuff. He wasn't gone one day and the vultures were already there. So now, besides turning wrenches I'm playing salesman. Thanks guys for all your input, sorry about the whining and rambling. I'll be posting here on the classifieds and give eBay a shot.
