1970 LT Convertible Value
Hi All
A Friend of mine bought a 1970 LT1 two top
Convertible from a late Friends wife a few years ago.
The car is a red with red interior black convertible top
red hard top, an/fm, base interior, no power steering no power breaks.The car needs a complete Restoration
but appears to be mostly there. We were wondering what you all think it is worth now / when restored.
He is planing on doing a NCRS type Restoration.
He has professional maniacal training. We will probity start on the car later this year.Just looking for your thoughts. Thanks
Michael

Run the numbers on it and do your homework. Get as much documentation from the previous owner as you can obtain. Genuine, documented LT-1 convertibles bring five figure prices.

Without a better description of current condition and some pictures it is tought to tell.
A fully restored LT1 convertible with matching numbers is probably worth $30-$35K if properly restored. If you want to know what it is worth as it sits deduct the cost of the restoration and bottom out at about $15K if it is all there and runs OK.
