Oldie Goldies
Hey yall, i was wondering (on avergae) what you would pay for an old 1960-70s Chevelle, Camaro, Impala (any of those).
The reason im asking is while i was at the beach w/ my gf today i saw an old Chevelle  it was BEAUTIFUL. As i was gawking an elderly guy said that he wished he was rich enough to own one. How much do these run?Sorry im guessing a 1969 Chevelle??(idk the year!) it was a SS. Im talking like OK/good condition. Like its in 1 piece, runs smoothly, and the interior is in fairly good condition. Eric

It just depends how clean the vehicle is. The value of old cars widely vary but are influenced by whether or not it is numbers matching. Engine options ( Big blocks = bigger money). Interior condition. Condition of chrome and trim pieces. For a clean but not perfect V8 Muscle Car that is rollin around with a 350, I would expect $20k-30K. If you find a steal (15-20). Most of the cars that I ever came across under 15K required more work that I wanted to put into it (missing interior), rusty body panel, floor pans. Worn out or missing engines. Just watch the Barrett Jackson Auction, Big Block classic V8 muscle in good to excellent codition easily runs the value up of $50k and onward to$100k

nowadays its cheaper to just bulid one from scratch from Year One or one of those companies..and get a better bulit car than was orig....they are exactly the same cars with a new title just all the bugs worked out...only not as collectable as the old ones that are original...they are VERY rare anyway...most cars are restored to some effect at those auctions anyway...

How expensive is it and how long would it take to build one from scratch? (if you did it through a company)
