No BS sorry not being an azz car is worth 5-6K as it sits. Like I said I have a complete resto'd 74 Stingray matching numbers 4 speed T-Top whats it worth maybe 10-12K?

judging by what I can see in the pics, its a good candidate for a full on resto but dollars and cents would make that a really tough call. I would bet an easy 15 grand worth minimum is needed to dring it back into shape pending the frame rails at the rear and the header brace are solid.
If it is as original as stated, every single brake componernt is toast if it sat that long. Rear berings will be rust pitted on the top side too most likely. U joints would be really stiff too. Every piece of rubber, weatherstrip, etc would need to be changed out. Light retractors rebuilt and on and on it goes.
A friend sold his 72 SB 4spd ragtop for 18 this past summer after spending 25 on it 3 yrs earlier.
Its a real tough market for post 60's sbc C3 cars right now.

You are prerty much correct in all your assumptions, but I`m sure that its more than worth saving. Someone said before that these cars are going for aroud 25k nicely redone and I belive this is accurate. The brakes, carb, rubber componants definately need changing. The iterior is suprisingly nice. I`ve done a couple Camaros in the past and this is a much nicer candidate for resto. Plus a war bonnet vert is cool ass hell.

judging by the mufflers that are rotting off the car and the engine compartment id say the frame is close to the same, those frames were good for rotting out along the sides and at the back by the trailing arm pockets, i dont see much useable original stuff in the engine compartment. and im sure the interior and top are in the same shape. you could be given the car and still not come out ahead putting it back together. And that someone that knows there away around a garage. Gotta love that war bonnet yellow.
