1972 B/b Value
There is a guy I work with that I talked to today he tells me he has an all original 72 B/B auto with no options all original black exterior and black interior that has been sitting behind his house for around 6 years in need of full restoration. I have not seen this car he says he may have a buyer for $7000 dollars He wants to know if that is a fair price for the car?

Short money for an original big block as long as it's all there and not rusted. Finished it could be worth over $40,000. Black was not offered in 72 though.

It quite easy to spend $1000's and $1000's on parts.
I have spent 15 of those already on parts

By the time he's done reading the thread he will run away clutching his check book with both hands.
Then we will give you our honest opinion and if its worth it you can buy it...
Just kidding, I wouldnt want to cheat anybody out of a first grabs
But some pics would be great, both for the potential buyer and possibly you if he decides not to buy it....... Good luck
