Not on Facebook, so can't see what a great deal it is.
But Facebook public pages of ebodies.org sure has alot of activity thats not on here.
It doesn't look horrible but starting at $25k then needing full restoration and an engine/trans ++
I guess it is inflation ::)
Here are a few screen shots.
You failed to mention CONVERTIBLE!!.
So yes, that's where we are now.
Those 3 pictures are not enough for me to assess condition, etc., but I have a project barracuda convertible that I would want alot more for, if I was ever to sell it.
Of course this is available for the deal of the week price, and if it sells for that, daveh will regret it.

Hard to believe that I haven't gotten one inquiry on my Challenger Mr. Cuda. :)
It's gonna need some elbow grease and $$$$$$ :wrenching:
He just lowered the price on the convertible project down to $21k. It's probably worth looking at now if anyone is searching for a project.
My question was genuine, to help me in assessing my "net worth" as I get older. I believe that I'm conservative, but have mine valued at $60k with an expectation I will sell it in roughly 10 years (when I'm 80!). It is not a show car, not all stock/original, etc. but is pretty nice and I certainly love it and drive it. But I also know how much I've put in it, which is more than the $60k, so when I see a non-restored shell with no motor/trans going for $25 it makes me think :dunno:
So, I'm not wragging on the seller, just wondering if its time to bump up my expectations for when I sell mine. And start planning that next trip!
:bigmoney:
Comparing the price of a project to the price of a finished car will never work out math wise....It always cost way more to build a car than it's worth to resell in the end.
For example, E Body convertible don't grow on trees, if the project car is half decently solid and has all the unique convertible parts then it's worth $20K all day long !
If yours is a nice clean driver and the top goes down it's likely worth $60K all day long...
HOWEVER....to get this project to be at the same quality as your car a person could pay $80K-$100K total easily I'm sure...
Not sure how many older guys that love these cars are in the market to buy one to restore. I find myself getting more difficult to get underneath the car just to do service. There are a lot of Youtube videos out there showing folks under 50 working on these cars. So it is a good sign that there is still a population out there that will take care of the cars. I think people will drive these car less as we move forward. Gas prices will continue to rise based on current geopolitical issues and domestic oil production cost rising.
The price has been dropped to 21K
