I restored this car for a Father & Son about five years ago....since then, the Father has died and the son wants to sell the car....the memories are just too heavy and he'd like to build his "own" car   :twothumbsup:

So here's the question.....What's a well restored, super clean 70 Super Bee worth ? Built 383 with a stick and N96 .... :burnout:

Is there anybody out there that likes theses "love it or hate it cars " ?

Man, that really stinks.  At least they got to enjoy the car some.

I have no idea of value, but since you restored it I'm sure it will be a great car for someone. :wave:.  Yes I'm a kiss up, but I really do respect you.

I just have one question.  How many hours do you work a week?  You must be very disciplined in time management.

Needs to be 4"-6" lower....

He really wanted that big bad bruiser look...I see he's added gauges on the outside cowl now...real day two look.

Is the engine compartment a different color than the outside ?

No, it's all FE5 red....it could be just the lighting in some of the pictures ? :dunno:

Good question @nsmall  :bigmoney:
I don't charge my customers for research time, ordering parts time, E-Bodies.org time, porn time etc...etc... :haha: :haha:

Between the six active restorations I have going on right now,  I added up all the invoiced hours for Oct/Nov 2017..... That number was 226 hours....roughly divided by 8 weeks is a little over 28 hours a week.....5-6 hours per day. If I'm working on multiple cars in one day, each customer might only be invoiced 1-2 hours for that day depending...I consider it a really good day if I can invoice 7 hours in one day....that rarely happens.

In reference to another thread....Maybe if I just invoiced everybody 40hrs/week they can say their car has a $300K restoration  :bigmoney: :)

I would think if it still looks fresh that $50,000cdn would be possible.

Yea, at first I was skeptical when he threw out that number, but looking around at comparable cars.....his would be one of the nicest restored examples in that price range :alan2cents:... a little bit more though and you could have a six pack...

I'm one that actually LOVES the '70 Bee!  I would think a non-numbers 383 4 spd should sell fairly quick in mid $30's.  Your main hurdle will be finding someone who loves it because the buying market for the '70 is more narrow than a '68-69.

$40k US might be reasonable for someone if it's a bit negotiable. I don't hate 70 Coronets but somehow a 69 383 car is alright but for me the in your face 70 grille looks better backed up by a Six Pack or a Hemi. The 4 speed and N96 will sell this one.
My prediction is this one is making a trip across the Atlantic.

I was honestly thinking you worked closer to 60 hours a week.  I guess the 300k restoration includes "I thought about your car today,"  "I looked online for parts,"  "I showed a customer your car,"  so you get billed 4 hours today.
