It seems the common opinion about your car is the height of the rear, i had the exact same thing occur with my notchback when ss springs were installed, I put in lowering blocks and now the rear sits perfectly level to the front. Unless you like your car looking like a wedge which is the old school look.
 
Nice car but I'm not sure what you're trying to go for---resto or street machine? While I'm not a fan of the notch backs, I can appreciate a nice ride & this is one. Personally I like the stance but I'd clean-up the engine bay, & if no one else has said it, it appears the seats are yellowing so I'd fix them along with the other things some have mentioned.
As to price---- while I'm surely no expert I think 10k would be fair. But I'm cheap.....
 
I like the stance, but i think it should have wider tires under the back.
Change the fuel line, and get a battery hold down......
Don't sell it, drive it and enjoy after a few little upgrades.
As is, i wouldn't sell it for under 9 grand.
That's a cool little car there, BTW!

You think I could fit 275's pretty easy?
Where could I get a nice sleek battery tie down?

Thanks :cheers:

I wanted to keep as factory as possible with a mean looking stance and just a little 440 to smoke' when ever if I wanted to. :farao:
 
Drive it like it is and enjoy it. I would assume a fair price for it without seeing it would be $8K - $10K.
 
Depends on deeper inspection ( floor pans/rust,etc...) As is 6500-7500... Update the small flaws,8500-10k. Agree with dropping the rear height, reasonably priced 67-69 Cudas are a seller's market( IMO...)

With the right offset wheel and rolling the inner wheel lips, i don't see why not.
Any auto parts store will have a battery tie down, or better yet, get a factory reproduction one.
Something is better than nothing........

Have a look at the Cooper Cobra tires, they are a little more squared off if i'm not mistaken.......
Then there's the old school bias-plies like the Pro-Trac etc.
Not sure if they are repopped though.

I had Cooper Cobra's on my Stingray....I loved them - good price too.
 
i got the battery tie down, working on cleaning the leather and getting the dashboard cap soon.

still working on turning the front hangers upside down and lowering the rear a bit.
still looking for a good priced fish steering wheel center cap.
still working on a steel fuel line.
still working on painting the air cleaner.


i was out driving the other day and notice on tight left turns the car acts like it wants to die is this a gas issue? i remember reading a thread about it somewhere. is this common?
 
What carb is on it? What is the part# on the Super stock springs? Very nice notch! Do you have anymore info on the engine specs? I'd fix the minor details and drive it!
