That is a killer car Daren. Sorry about your situation. Hope all gets resolved and goes ok. Do you have any daytime pics?
Good luck on a very nice car!!!:thumbsup:

[Rybar]

Yeah sorry about your luck. That is a kick ass '69. Try to post some better quality pics.

[Midwest Performance]

Price?
I like what I see. Wish it was for sale before I started mine.

[Vegas69]

Pictures and video are everything. Do yourself a favor and take some good photos or hire it done.

I believe he posted the asking price.

[Serpa69]

Nice car, you have a a couple of gauges to keep an eye on good luck with the sale

[Spiffav8]

Sweet Car! Sorry to hear that you in such a bad position and are forced to let go of it. Take a lot of pictures! Everyone will be asking for more and the ones you posted don't do the car justice. I say that only because I want to see you get top dollar for it.

Best of luck to you on all fronts. Keep your chin up!

[dplenzig]

I was told I am asking way too much for this car. I really don't know what these cars are selling for. Input from some of you in the know might help.

Thanks,

Daren

[tones2SS]

I don't know about the price, maybe the others can chime in, but that is a KILLER looking car.:thumbsup:
Good luck bud!

Daren -

I'm not sure anyone knows the price of anything anymore... Cars, like houses, peaked a couple years ago and have been falling since then...

I'd toss it on eBay with a reserve set to the LEAST you'll sell it for - and see where the biding goes. Post GREAT pictures and tell the story and answer all the questions - and hopefully you'll get TWO people that want the car. If it doesn't make your reserve - but gets 'close', you always have the option to approach the high bidder and see if you can cut a deal.

Sorry you're forced to sell what seems to be a very sweet car. Start making plans to build another one... :thumbsup:

[GregWeld]

Personally, I think the NEW Camaro has hurt the 69 Camaro market. For 40 Grand I can buy a 426 HP 6 speed car... and drive the snot out of it - and it has a warranty. While they're not old skool kool.... they seem to be attracting a LOT of attention wherever they show up. If the dealers weren't such rip-offs - I'd buy one tomorrow.

[Vegas69]

Does it drive?

[cdushane]

What color is the car? Who built the motor? Has the car been dyno'd, if so what is the hp/tq? Can you post some more pics of the interior? Thanks

[sacarguy]

current market i would estimate 50 k unless you can find someone who absolutly has to have it ... its hard out there.. look at ebay at all the cars with 100 k in them that arent selling for 70 k or less.

i tried to sell my car wich i was offered 48 k for two years ago and it didnt even reach 30 k on on ebay..

car was a total frame off with less then 2500 miles on the 500 horse pump gas 383 dyno proven with all dse suspension and mini tub under it on 18x9 anfd 18x10.5 billet wheels c-5 brakes and dse dash and full restored ineterior plus custom 2500 wat sound system on 18 inch billet wheels.

I feel your pain. I went through a divorce about 15 years ago. Had 69 RS conv. and spent maybe 40K on that resto and 8 years of sweat labor, parts hunting and saving to finally finish it.
My wife at the time was after a slice of the car so I told her the Engine siezed up and it would cost a fortune to repair. She never mentioned it again.
There's no doubt you have a tidy sum inveted. Problem is 2 fold. 1) It's set up for Pro Touring and that drastictly reduces your customer base. A 100% stock restored 396 Pace Car would have trouble pulling down 80K. 2) As previously mentioned, the market just isn't there for your car at that price level. Mid 50's to low 60's would be my guess. It's almost impossible to recoup what you have invested. A 69 ZL1 is probably the ony exception to the rule.
Sell it cheap to a trusted friend until this all blows over and get it back.
Good Luck and I hope it works out the way you want it to.

New price $70,000. I need to sell this.

hell of a lot of car for the price in my opinion. Problem is people aren't spending money right now. I will probably be putting up my Chevelle for sale, and the market now is not good. You just need to find the right guy.

Daren --

Give Bob Fatore (fa tor ee) a call at Muscle Cars Northwest - Renton, WA

425-228-1600

Use my name as an intro - see if he's interested. Yeah he's a dealer - but he knows a nice car when he sees one. Yours qualifies.

If not him -

Call Mark Young - The Chev Connection - Portland, Oregon

503-257-9050

He too knows a nice car when he sees it.

I don't know that either of them would be interested - but they deal in this quality of car... So worth a call. IMHO

Best,
Greg Weld

That is not your average EBAY $45K CAR. Problem is you need to take some time and get real photos and put a killer ad on EBAY. Cars still sell in the range you are asking. People always look more at cars with good clear pics. You can have a $500k car and if pics look bad nobody will give it a second look. 2nd you probably are into that thing for more like $100k with orig car, labor and parts. Would you buy a car listed as $80k invested for $85k Guys always think they can build for less.

Great looking car from pics and if quality and details are there you should get close to your number on EBAY.

[GregWeld]

Good advice Brian - and RIGHT ON THE MONEY.

Best pixs - show any flaws - show CLEAN carpets (I've seen 'em with popcorn and wrappers on the floor)... and show ALL the details. The devil is in the details.
:woot:

[fathomgreen69ss]

The current "economy scare" has got everyone puckered up as tight as a virgin on prom night. That is a beautiful car and I absolutely hate to see you have to part with your dream car.

[dplenzig]

Sold!

Hello,

Sorry about the divorce. Been there, and it will get better. No words really make it any easier.

I would like to know if the Hogans and Nelsons went with the car or are they still available or would the new owner be interested in selling them or the parts that they will remove from your initial build.

I have no intake or exhaust setup yet.

advice on the turbos would be appreciated as well.

Sitting in Afghanistan and compiling parts and studying for when I return to my shop.

Thanks,

Bret.
