Default Anyone know where there is a nice Chrome Bumper Big Block Vert?

Looking for a reasonably priced 68-72 Big Block Convertible. Cant Seem to find a nice car under $35k. Lots of $38 to $45k cars for sale with no takers.


PM me if you know of a nice car for sale.

Gary

You shouldn't have any problems finding a nice 68-72 BB Conv. for $35k or less. It appears that the market is down and will probably go down even more. I think it's going to be a buyers market for quite a while...good time to start making offers.

If I found a "nice" big block bumper car, T-Top *OR* vert.... (nice to me is original engine, etc and very clean)... for $35k or less, I'd go buy it as fast as I could,.

I really don't understand why people think the prices have fallen so much on this stuff... I just don't see it.

$38k-$45k or so is where these cars are at for anything in the "nice" range.... with Top Flight type stuff going well over that.

I think <$35k for a "nice" BB 68-72 roadster is unreasonable, especially the 427s. I think exceptional SBs are still in that range, or not far from it.

"Hi David,

The whole staff of the C3 Registry wishes your car 194671S115026 a happy 37 birthday!!!

Greetings,
Webmaster C3 Registry"


Well, today's my '71 LS5 Roadster's 37th Birthday.
I've owned it for almost 33 years and it's getting close to parting with my old friend. I hope you guys are right about chrome bumper BB prices. I've never advertised my car or put it on the market, but we'll see how it goes sometime soon.

Dave

Here is a nice 427/435 project car. I would be bidding on this one if i didnt already have a project. Its hard to find them all together like this one. Only concern is if the block is blown (parked in 85)
