What it's worth (WIW) '68 Barracuda fastback

It's awfully easy to get upside down on cars. I think this car is gorgeous. But, if you've been watching prices you know that the vast majority of A-bodies don't seem to hit the high teens on websites where they're being sold. Getting this car done to the state it's in surely took close to that price (probably more). Market prices fluctuate. If this was a Formula S or a factory big block/hemi car obviously it would be likely to bring more $$. If it were me wanting to buy the car to flip, I wouldn't want to go over 15k. I know that's below the value of the car but if you give what the car is worth you diminish the likelihood of getting your money back down the road. If I were buying the car because I wanted a '68 and liked the way this one was set up, I'd say the price is pretty good. Most cars I've bought, I bought because I WANTED them. I tried to figure out how much it would cost me to replicate, and if it was more than the asking price I'd figure it was a good deal. As I said earlier, this car looks really really good.

Excellent points. No, I'm not looking to buy it to flip. I am interested in it to enjoy for maybe the next 5-7 years or so. I intended the reference to selling it to mean if I encountered some kind of a hardship (i.e. lost my job) could I possibly get my money back out of it if I had to.

I've lost more money on muscle cars than I care to remember! The nice thing about this car is that it is a turn-key driver - it doesn't need anything. I looked at some other cars that needed various levels of work to bring them up to the level of this car. Honestly, I don't think that I could build those cars for less than what this guy is asking for this car.
