WIW 69 Impala SS 427 Convt.

[69L78]

Here are a few pics of a 69 SS427 Impala, red on red with white top, 4-speed, needs qtrs. and right front fender for sure. What do you guys think this car is worth as is and restored?

[SS427]

Sadly they are only bringing somewhere in the $30-60k range when done. That is the hard part as it cannot be restored for that kind of money. Unfortunately and assuming it has paperwork I do not think that car is worth likely more than about $5-6k as is. I sold a MINT bodied SS427 convert without it's original engine and trans for less than that only 4 years ago. Likely the frame is going to be in very poor shape and require a LOT of work to get all the pits out and finished nicely. That body will also require a lot more than quarters and a fender. I would bank on a LOT of bodywork will be needed. I know of a fairly similar shaped SS427/425 auto convert that the owner was asking $13k with paperwork and I would not pay it.

Also, it seems as if the 67-68's are more popular?

McCreary snow tires? For ice drag racing? LOL

Cool car with a four speed. Would need some more info to put a value on it. Is it a numbers matching car, is there paperwork P-O-P? Is the car local? Does it run? Mileage? Could be a beauty, but you will spend a ton to get it that way!

That would stand out so well sitting in the as found area @ MCACN.

I'm on it, Dan [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/haha.gif[/img]

That is indeed an uber-cool car.....but as Rick Nelson correctly points out, you'd be upside down in a heartbeat doing a proper restoration on it, even if you got the car for free [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/frown.gif[/img]

The positives: original air cleaner (usually long gone), smog still present &amp; accounted for, three pedals, buckets and non-butchered console.....and McCreary <span style="font-style: italic"><span style="font-weight: bold">white lettered snow tires???</span></span> [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/shocked.gif[/img]

The negatives: the body, the likely condition of the undercarriage based on what we're seeing here, finding parts, and the fact that the 69's seem to be the red-headed bastard stepchild of the 60's full size Chevies [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/frown.gif[/img]

I like it nonetheless [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
