Barracuda Formula S Experts Opinions Needed

340SNOTCH said

I respect the opinions of several of the members on this site and I need to come up with a fair offer for this car. I know several own these 340/383 cars. I have located a 68 Formula S 340 4 speed notch for sale. I own the automatic version and this 4 speed has me wanting to make a move on it. ...

What about taking a few steps back and looking overall at this one...

Are you looking to sell you automatic 340-S notchback if you get this car?

Sounds like you are swapping car to car to get the 4 speed. Your current car is even the same color.

Have you considered the cost of swapping your car to 4 speed. It may same odd if you have a numbers matching motor, fender tag, or maybe buildsheet car. But even though, it's not worth a ton of money, judged the prices thrown around for this 4 speed car.

Maybe a $5K to have someone swap a 4 speed in your car, drive in-drive out? But you will have a car that is a known entity for you. Are you are happy with your current cars motor, interior, body?

It will not lower the value of your current automatic car to swap in a 4 speed. Will it increase you cars value $5K? No. But it will some.
