Pricing Help on 73 convert project
I need help determining a fair value for this project that I need to sell. I started it and cannot finish it at this time.
I have a 73 Convertable that had the nose off (accident) and I did a fairly extensive restoration on everything from the fire wall forward.
Frame is straight and checked by local specialist.
Here's what I have into it:
MECH:
350/350 HP crate motor. I still have original L-48.
Headers
rebuilt Corvette distributor w/ tach drive
rebuilt TH400 and new converter
suspension bushings
ball joints
wheel bearings
calipers & rotars (all)
front brake lines
steering cylinder
master cylinder
exhaust pipes and mufflers
air conditioner compressor
AC VIR
AC evaporator
AC hoses
fan shroud
chome alternator
chrome power steering pump
new gas tank and straps
heater core
BODY:
Sanded an primed entire car with 2-part primer.
rebuilt drivers door (all metal, no rust at strike)
refinished dash with Med. Saddle finish
Installed salvaged front clip
new headlights, housings, springs & vac diaphrams for lights
new chrom exhaust tips and trim
FRAME:
Sandblasted and repainted frame from fire wall forward, frame extension, rad support & radiator.
Welded hole in drivers side rale in front of rear tire
new endcap on drivers side
pass side front frame horn was straightened
Rear has not been touched and is showing signs of age
NEEDS:

back bumpers re-chromed, has good cores

front vac system installed
Door threasholds redone or replaced

Sorry I can help you with your what it's worth question, but I have to say it's to bad you have to sell your project and and nice one at that. With a little more time involved it would be finished. Good luck.
