This is one of those cars that deserves a full ground up restoration, but the only person that could do that and maybe stay above water is the current owner. Anyone having to pay $30,000 for the project, then restore it on top of that will drown fast...

:iagree:Definitely, if you pick the wrong guy to restore it.

[RUNCHARGER]

Cool car that looks fairly solid and relatively complete.

At that price, the buyer would have to do all the work themselves and still be in need of a flotation device. If it were a 4-speed would it be a little more fez-able, but not by much.

Wow 30K for a project car! So doing all the work yourself you'll be putting another 20-30K minimum if you're not replacing any metal. You better really want that car for yourself. What would be a realistic price for this?

[anlauto]

Be a nice car when done, with the FM3 and the louvers, etc....but at the end of the day it's just a 383 auto...which will hold back most resale buyers from paying big bucks...

Even doing a restoration yourself...$20-$30K would barely cover the cost of all the parts you'd need these days 

[Rich G.]

20-30k barely is an understatement. Most people have no clue what it costs. I've been doing these cars a long time and I'm shocked when I'm done and add up the cost of parts and wonder how it cost so much. I can't imagine having to pay the labor bill.

Yes, let's please keep this positive. 

It could be a very cool car when it's done.  But it's going to take some love and passion to bring it back and hopefully a little lower price to start.

interesting, but I wonder if it's original or a rebody. I don't see any indications of FM3 anywhere, but see plenty of blue and cream.

No mention of a build sheet or trim tag.   

[anlauto]

There is a fender tag picture and it appears to have pink paint on it....not about the rest of the car

It was 1976 that I traded for my V2 AAR cuda. The car I traded was  pink 383 Cuda with a 3 speed. Seeing how there was only 150 3 speed Cudas built, I might have had the only pink one made. I was not crazy about the pink and it needed paint and body work when I bought it in 74, so I painted it an AMC color that was not quite as bright pink. Poor car ended up in a wrecking yard a short time later. It's no longer with us.

FM3 collectors will pay up for a solid car. About 10 years ago a Canadian friend of mine sold his restored [non original engine] FM3 1970 383 auto Roadrunner to and FM3 collector for $90,000 USD!  Crazy money.
