1969 Cuda A57 4 speed Whats it worth ?

Problem with a rare optioned low production car is that to get to the value of a restored car, you need to do everything to a higher standard to validate the value! If a comparable can be found and it is valued at $60k as a restored car, your restoration will have to equal that standard, and that's where it quickly becomes expensive! Add the price of purchase to the restoration cost, and this car would quickly out value it's worth, hence the labor of love connotations above! It's a nice car, looks like a great start, but still needs to be totally restored to be worth what it could be worth! Just the paint alone can be easily north of $10k, before counting any body work!!

I have a friend that has a one of 42 big block 68 convertible, all original paint! He's afraid to touch the car because of the level of restoration that a rare car calls for!! He sprayed some Kaboom or some modern cleaner on the drivers door handle and burned the paint off around the handle!! Could've had the only car with original paint out there, but now needs to have it painted...no more original paint!! Value headed down, cost of restoration headed up!!!

IMO, You gotta have wanted one of these cars forever to warrant buying one, and the level of restoration will keep you from enjoying it due to the rarity! I'm not saying don't buy it, but you gotta consider all of the factors involved!! Me?? I would buy it and drive it just like it is!!!
