A highly optioned BB, 4-spd, mostly original with good paint and documented...I'm gonna say well over 6 digits...even in this market...

He's welcome to park it in my garage so I can also give it a thorough
examination...including a test drive!

Thanks guys for the quick replies.I figured it was worth a bit more than he paid for it in 1999. I'll try and get some pictures on here later.Would this car be considered a "survivor" car. If not what would the definition of a survivor car be?.

That sounds like a great car.

Make sure to tell him to watch the Mecum Bloomington auction this friday and saturday on Discovery HD or you can watch it live on their website. That should help with determining a price in the current market. I would not look at ebay for pricing

I think 85,000-100,000 depending on how good the frame and engine look. Those look like reproduction knock offs to me, but i could be wrong. Yellow is a tough color to sell

Yes he said the knockoffs are reproduction. Thanks for all the replies. He didn't do bad for paying $25,000.

It looks like even the 427/425hp 1966 Vettes are not bringing much/getting close to their reserves at the Bloomington mecum. I think Mecum must be losing money-I wont put my comments out about what i think of Dana yet.

OK don't hold my feet to the fire, but I can go $30,000 for a quick sell!

Watched it a coupla nights ago and a nice big block only brought $85K and a super nice survivor '63 fuelie 4-spd two top 56,0000 mi red car was rolled off with no sale. I'm thinkin we are near the bottom of the up and down cycle for collector cars. I sure hope so...

According to the results of the auction so far, that car is only worth around 60,000.
