Default What is it worth ?? Help please urgent.

I am currently looking at a '68 427 coupe 4 speed.
The numbers match, the only things wrong with it are:

The interior color has been changed and the exterior color is also not correct.
The engine has been modified to produce 500plus HP( I have no idea yet what they changed) (it was original 427 435Hp)

There are also some small things that need some TLC.

What would a car like this be worth ??

certainly over 20K euros in belgium.. at least. Could be a lot more, depending on condition. I wouldn't bee surprised if it had an asking price of close to 30K.

Well there used to be air on it but prvious owner removed it ( but all the parts are still there), there is also a different carb on it and a different cam.
dyno'd at 512Hp.
It has no power steering.

Interior and exterior is painted in different color.

That's all I know

hard to say but prices are insane in Europe, have you seen some prices lately? I've seen 78s and 79s for 16K easily, and lately I've seen some 74s and 75s for as much as 22,5K Euros. Some people are just on crack or something, for those wondering how much that is in US $: 22,5K euros is a little over a whopping 28K$

427/435 did not come with aircon. You could not order the combination. I would check again. It may have been a 390 or 400 horse but not 435.
