71 duster at mecum

Okay, just out of curiosity, I have a 1972 Demon 340, originally a 3 speed car, bench seat, cloth, and the old full wheel covers. About to send it to AMD for a restoration, lots of sheetmetal to change, gonna mini tub it with frame connectors. I'm not sure yet what route I'll go engine wise, but it's the original block. Thinking of going a little crazy with it, but still undecided. What might something like that be worth, in the opinion of the members here. Not planning to sell it, just curious.

When you said AMD that starts the books being in the red on your car. It takes a really unique car to pull down big money and unless your car has something particular to stand out above the crowd then I would not worry about the final number if you decide to ever sell it. Minitub starts to veer away from any true original value to the car.

It sounds like you have the beginnings of a original type car but once you add up the cost to get it back original you may realize one of those 40K Dusters people laugh at ain't such a bad deal if it's done right. Times have changed restoring your own car. My advice- go crazy and have fun with it. Go see your investor that handles your retirement if you want to make a few bucks...
