Let's assume it has actually only got 38k miles on it....what do you think it's worth Alan?

I'm no fan of column shift but like the buddy seat.  Solid looking car, but that dash cap....

In that condition....$50K-$55K

Who is the guy that gave the owner the write up about known B5 cars? breaking them down indicating how many bench seat cars that are registered must be a genius.  Does this guy actually charge money for this type of information? Or should I say, incorrect information. 

Since there are only x7 column shift out of the x10 bench seat interior B5 painted cars, I want to see the x3 cars that have a bench seat that aren't column shift.  If money exchanged hands for this service, you would think it would be somewhat accurate.

Yea...to match the driveshaft

I think Alan is on with this number.  Color and options have a big impact on AAR prices.  I sold my column/bench AAR two years.  The bench/column and color (F8) impacted the sell price.  It was a numbers matching, documented (build sheet/fender tag) and original sheet metal car. 

Although this car has a nice color, the bench/column and condition bring it closer to the Alan number.  IMO

I don't get why you people that do these restorations now constantly make fun of what people did back in the 80's, like painting the LCA's, Driveshafts, Undercarriages of THEIR OWN cars in black or whatever color that is NOT what they were originally, this is how ANY RESPONSIBLE CARETAKER of these cars did it back then, I know because I did mine like that and so did most my friends and I had many friends that owned E-Bodies and other Mopar collectibles that most people would only dream of owning today because they could never afford them.

You should be thankful that they did this back in the 80's as I will guarantee these ones are in 100% better shape than the people that didn't do this type of stuff to save their cars. They would be piles of rust as you can see with the ones that go up for sale that need almost everything replaced.

And if any of you think that these cars were painted all pretty underneath or the front end pieces looked perfect and had all these exact markings and such when they left the factory, you are dreaming. To get judged on this at any so called concourse competition is utterly ridiculous, because NO 2 cars were ever the same from the factory as far as fit, markings, condition, etc. I can attest to this because I spent many hours underneath my car and my friends cars, cleaning and restoring them underneath back when they would still have had all these markings, etc.

They should be judged more for NOT being the way they were supposed to do it than the way they WERE supposed to do it, because I will guarantee they did it wrong more times than not.

Have you ever worked on an Assembly Line? It is the most boring, mindless and monotonous job that you could ever do, so most of the people doing this stuff were probably thinking about a million different things than their job like marking a specific piece with a specific color exactly the same each time .

I'm not laughing at the guy who painted those parts black.....I'm laughing at the next guy who restores this car down the road and paints the items black again because that's how it "originally came "
