Looks like a pretty solid car from the pics, but the paint seems to be suffering pretty bad.
I can't see much of the interior, but from what I can see it looks pretty decent and custom ?
Those extended shackles on the back aren't helping much. The wheels might be a turn off to some.

It's really hard to say, as pictures don't always tell the true story...
But I'd say if the interior is clean, and the engine compartment looks good (and clean) I'd put a sticker at 4,200 OBO and wouldn't hesitate to dicker the price down.

$3000 - $3500 IMO. You never know though. Compare it to some 4th gens on Ebay and see what they are bringing.

Ya, it looks like the interior and engine comp't will clean up pretty nicely for a driver. It's the paint on the hood, and all the nicks that will detract from the car--and of course, a '68-72 would also bring more due to the more desirable bumpers/grill.

I still say stick a sign in 'er for $4,200 OBO and don't let a resonable offer get away from ya.
IMHO, it's better to start a touch high and dicker down...than to price it low and sell it quick--then you'll always regret selling it so cheap, thinking you coulda got more!

Something from that rear end really stands out and bothers me, but I can't quite tell what it is...either those big shackles, or the small diameter tire? What size rubbers are on the back?

i would put $4500 or best offer on it, and take $4000 for it.

I would say clean the engine bay up a little,it will really add to the car when you pop the hood,but I would try it at $4500 that car sounds healthy to say the least.

I saw the ad and though $4000 firm. After seeing the above posts I would say thats a good place too look around. You have to remember though that no one here has seen the car in person. From the video the paint at the back looks really good but some of the pictures show pretty bad paint on the front. I don't know if this is the case or if it has to do with the pictures in some way. Everything looks different online.

I bought my 74 SS off ebay. Luckly I got to see the car in person before I bought it since the guy lived in regina. I was ready to pay $3000 and it definately wasn't worth that at the time. It changes everything when you can see it in person.

From what I've seen here I would say start at $4500 and you should get between 4200-4000.
