Fair Deal for my '68 Firebird?

[slyck68]

Hey guys,

It breaks my heart that I even have to consider selling my baby, but times are really tough for my family right now and this is something I may have to do in order to get by. 4 years ago fresh out of college I bought a 1968 Firebird with big plans of making it a pro-touring car. Now the reality is my family and I are struggling to keep our home. I love this car with every bit of my heart and I don't have to tell you guys how many hours of blood and sweat I've poured into this thing. However, I love my family even more and providing for them is my #1 priority. My question is this: IF there is no other option but to sell it, what could I realistically expect to get for it?

Here are a few highlights:

-Custom built, ALL new, never started 383 stroker motor (cost $7k+ to build)
-March serpentine pulleys, MSD alternator, March PS pump
-Swapped orig auto trans to brand new Keisler 5-Speed w/hydraulic clutch
-Brand new Chris Alston subframe w/the works (ps, sway bar, coil-overs,etc.)
-Brand new Northern radiator w/electric fan
-Brand new DSE 3" drop springs
-Brand new Moser 3.55 12-Bolt rear end
-Brand new 18" Budnik Shotgun wheels (brushed finish)
-Brand new Goodmark 400 hood, fenders, doors, trunk, spoiler, front valence
-Wilwood disc brakes all around
-DSE smoothed firewall panel
-Too many brand new extras to list that need to be installed

I removed the interior and have yet to install the Dynamat, carpet (new) and rear seats. Front bench was eliminated with plans on buckets. This car was 99% rust free with minor pinholes in the floorboards and tail panel. Replaced with new welded in metal. It only needs to be prepped and painted, plumbed, and interior re-installed.

Again, selling this is literally my last resort as I have invested well over $25,000 in this thing. I greatly appreciate any input as to what I should ask for this car if that's what I have to do. Thanks in advance guys, the advice I've received in the past has always been top notch.

Got any pics? That would help with any input. Not quite clear, is it blown apart or rolling chassis?

Good point. I'll try and snap some pics this weekend. It's all together for the most part. I disassembled most everything in order to undercoat the bottom of the car with Raptor liner. It will be assembled in the next few weeks.

Sorry you're going through a rough patch. This economy has hit virtually everyone and family does come first. Good luck on the sale!
