Buddy offered his barn find to me. Vin checks out as true GTS. Need some insite as to realistic pricing and authenticity. Car is pretty unmolested. Missing parts are very minor. Been 20 plus years since I sold my last A body and this would be my ticket back in. Looking for opinions on resto etc. I know prices vary all across north America and I pay a premium as I'm in Canada and have a worthless dollar. Haha. I have a thick skin so let her rip.

Here are a few more. It's a 383 auto car. Had a complete colour change from dark green. Missing fan and shroud. Power steering pump ( think) wrong buckets. Have correct already. All rust is shown.

According to the fender tag, it should be a gang green car (racing green) with a 383 engine and front disc brakes.
 
It should also have a split front bench seat and a green interior.

No. It's a console car. Black interior with white seats. Front buckets are from an E body. Rear is original. I pulled the broadcast sheet out of the springs. Has a little bit of blue overspray on base from colour change

How realistic is the sellers asking price? The fact your are asking us the question means you suspect the seller might have too high a price. What price is he asking? If he’s asking $30k for it, then us saying it’s worth $15k is pretty pointless.

Is it a big block GTS?

I know of a ‘68 GTS big block (unmolested but needs to be restored) 4spd car in Burnaby that is potentially for sale. It’s not the one you’re looking it though.

Turn it rightside up and increase the contrast. It’s GG1.

Thanks for turning it over.
 
$10k CAD is just under $8k USD...so the price is fair.
 
That’s a fair price considering the metal work it will need.
