Default Values....in general.

Been out of the C3 loop forawhile, trying to get a ballpark idea of selling prices for 68-72 in "very good to excellent" shape...Real world selling prices..

SB coupe, 4 spd
LT1???
BB cars.

not the # matching queens, but something "nice", meaning gone through, nice int, new bushings, paint, etc.
From what Ive seen seems you can pick one up in the teens, am I right?

Last one I had was a red/beige 73, couldnt give it away-was lucky to get 6500 for it.

It is a real buyer's market right now. 68-72's were coming on strong until the economy tanked. Both will come back, but if you have money now it's a good time to buy. You can get into a NOM 68-72 in decent shape in the teens if you look hard enough. Not a nice BB or Lt1. Completley sorted out may be a stretch for that money though. Nicer cars are still in the 20's. Coupes and autos are a little less $.

I would have to agree with all of the above. Near the DC area anyway.

Cant find my other thread, its gone!!

Found a maroon.black 70 awhile back

fresh 383, new 3.90 posi, 4 spd, sounds pretty decent.

No PS no AC

Think I can get it for 12, 13. How much would it be to install power steering (Id do the labor myself).

Are the resale on non NOM C3s a dog? He has the #s matching stuff in the garage (which he will want more for) but it will have to be gone through. Honestly I dont want anything stock anyways. THought it might be a good cruiser, just want to buy right so I dont get hurt in the long run.

Thoguhts?
