That's a loaded question...it depends to what degree you want to "restore" it. You could spend a life's savings if you want. I'd say minus labor you would be somewhere in the neighborhood of 5K-8K without an engine rebuild. I dunno though. It would definitley make a nice ride in restored condition! :yesnod:

Too expensive at $9k. I bought my '71 454, 4-speed, PS, PB, AC, #'s match for $9.7k. It had most of the suspension rebuilt, engine was rebuilt and it ran and drove fine. Needed interior & paint. This one is in much worse condition and doesn't have AC.

OK, let's begin....
1. rechrome air cleaner lid.... $125
2. new air cleaner stickers .... $3.50
hmmmm..... what's next? :lol:

Fuel filter is a replacement... where is the fuel return line?

What color is that?
(uh oh.... I see it is "green"... unfortunately, that reduces market value by $5k. also has the very rare and not so desireable "single carburetor" option. If it aint tripower nobody wants it... but we can fix that! )

Looks like a great opportunity to spend $50k on a car that will be worth $25K!! :) MJ

The only cars I’m comfortable buying on eBay are parts cars. 10 days just isn’t enough time to do all the necessary investigation, unless the car happens to be nearby.
