Hey guys seriously considering this 68 formula S 383 four-speed car
What do you guys think about it?
82 year old 2nd Owner was hos best friends car! He still alive too.
“Grumpy old men”
So the original owner has the intake, carb and exhaust manifolds.
Because his best friend did not want to pay the price.
He has had it about one year and he’s worried about his kids inheritance so he wants to sell it now. I had a 340 4 speed notchback when I was a kid and used to tear up the town.
looking to replace that car. Well ill take the big block. He is asking 49k

Fender tag, buildsheet, numbers motor, numbers trans, radiator support and trunk lip numbers??? Start the check list.

Doesn’t look like a survivor. don’t assume mileage or feel compelled to believe it just cause this guy is old and it’s 2nd owner.

Look at the condition and amount of original parts. Go be what you see. Not what you hear.

check for replaced inner fenders, and other cut points. 383 4spd A-bodies where often raced and modified. Maybe that’s why the low mileage?

Does it have the correct 066 radiator ?

That deal with the original parts is little odd. But those parts are available used. Price them now.

there was a brown ‘69 M-code 440 notchback that I think ended up in the $50K’s

Way nicer resto/condition/level than this car.

IMHO he’s asking very nice full tilt resto price for this notchback (Fastback’s sell for more). If it’s not been messed with much that’s a plus. But better have all docs/numbers at that asking price.
 
Dang... fell for this.

OP flips cars out of AZ and back east. Buys and sells. All makes.

He’s trying to gauge market

And you think this is relevant why?
its a personal purchase , not that it matters to you!
I'm just a car flipper like that is relevant.
 
Do the entire forum a favor and leave this post on here so we know who we're working with...
 
The shifter handle is correct but needs a woodgrain ball to be correct.

My dad's A56 cuda is set up exactly like that, it doesn't have a console but is a 4 speed car with buckets just like that.
 
I can't comment about the current market value but I can say that I have a couple of barracudas this generation and to make one as nice as the one pictured is going to be a difficult task. Parts are very hard to find and to get everything that nice is going to take a tremendous amount of time and money.

Straight grilles, bumpers, perfect trunk trim. Very nice interior, nice dash in red.

That's going to be difficult to build one that nice.

Well, it is my opinion that the guy is asking too much

Of course, you probably can't build one for that money so keep that in mind too
