I'm going to see how much he'd let it go to me for. John L. said that normally he'd doubt the car would go for anything under 30k, but maybe I can get something to work with.

Exactly, NADA and most price books are entirely irrelevant for old cars. So much varies a car's worth, region-to-region, options, level of originality, or desirability of the resto mod. This car basically rocks a 440 six pack motor, and the drivetrain to hold it, great body and chassis... If it was still an original 318 car it would be mid tens, but that drivetrain beefs up the price.



Geeked that it's not stripped apart or rusting away.
