If you look at mine. I will wind up putting at least that much in it. If I decide to sell, most likely will make money. Really depends on current market and people bidding for it at the time. They made 135 of my Formula S car with 340 4 speed, and only 53 of yours with the 383. Mine has factory A/C but can't find more than 6 cars built like that. Galen Goviers White book has break down of car production numbers but haven't been able to find the breakdown of cars with every option mentioned.
 
Yes , 68 . Thank you for the help
 
Here are the numbers.

Kona, on the Big Island


15/20 for you would be to easy and not much return! In the states you will spend that and more for a quality restoration! I cringe to think what it will cost you!

I agree, I can do most of the work my self. But the cost plus shipping on the parts that's missing and complete interior reupolster. Will cost at least $10,000. Plus plus .
 
Then comes the paint job, tires etc, etc.
 
My brother lived on Oahu for 15 years. Been over there and know it costs$$$. I do not remember seeing Many 60's muscle cars running around! Best of luck and hope you terrorize Kona with some Mopar goodness!

she's so much fun in Hawaii, I drive almost every day
 
Just way to hard to find parts in Hawaii, Shipping brakes the bank

Well, fly the colors you have now and enjoy. After visiting multiple times and falling in love with the islands, I can surely understand why you live there! The cost is to high for me, so I will stay in GA where it is a bit more affordable! Cost me 20k just for the metal replacement and paint. Neither of which I have the talent or patience to have done! The rest was a piece of cake! :)

Cool! No hurt feelings.

One thing for sure is you gotta have the only 68 383s 4-speed B'Cuda or for that fact any speed B'Cuda in the Pacific island area! Hope you get it on the road! Post some pics along the way and have fun!
