What to price a 1970 Super Bird at my friend is getting in a multi car trade

If he's not interested in owning it, flip the GM stuff and be done.

$90K would need a lot more than pictures. I wouldn't pay a resto shop to redo it. I'd pay one to look at it, to analyze how it was done, what has been done and anything that may need caught up.

Assuming this car is in #2 condition or near certification show class, It's worth about $80-$100K depending on it's condition.

My thinking is the same as posted. Why bother, if he's not interested? Accumulating values are up on a lot of Chrysler products, when you are talking about collector values, but to who?

I'd also like to add that flipping a car, or anything, for that matter more than once in a short amount of time on an open market can raise question and hurt it's value.

Don't expect to make a dime on sending it out for a full restoration. Most shops doing top end jobs charge $30K starting for paint. And that is just to get the unibody painted. Most restoration shops charge about $50-80K for most of the 1962-1975 era in full resto.

If the critical stuff checks out in the numbers, Galen did that work, just look closely at the resto application underneath, under the hood, etc and compare to other cars, then going into a deal like this, you'll know where the car stands against others like it and it's value against others like it for a better idea of it's market value.

Auction houses charge about $1k on a car like that for listing on a good night, plus final value fees. One more thing to consider. It's about $1k for a TV spot, too.
