Default 1973 mako

can anyone give me an idea what the value of a 73 Mako WITHOUT matching numbers might be? I can put a 454 or a 327 in it and paint it any color. Also, original or newer seats. Just looking for generalities as I am about to work on it. Thanks

It's probably worth what you paid for it.

its one of those personal choice deals, you like it , you do it, you'll have to find someone else that likes it also to sell it.

Lol,
A 73 with a mako kit...well, it depends I know of a few trailer queen makos that can't seem to get the 50K plus they ask for, I know a few projects that are seeking a victom that can't fetch the 5- 30k they want...lol,
customs are hard to sell, it has to be the love of the new owner, how many times does a custom you see meet 100% of your desires...for me none ever has and I don't pay for things I have to change.

Here's two...the blue one seems overpriced given it needs a complete restoration...
