I would love to get 40k.

That is a nice one with an Aqualu tub, I wonder what it will go for?

$42.5k and it's missing the packing around the B pillar posts.

See, this is the kind of critical photostudy those Ebay nuts should take advantage of - might help keep a lid on those outrageous selling prices

Nice, but nowhere near as nice as this one.

Your comment of hoping to get 40 makes me want to put buying a house on hold and try and get it... But I don't have anywhere to park it and SHE would not be to happy with me, I'm already struggling to get a bigger garage with her, I miss living where people have basements.

IHOP or however you say "in my opinion" I think you should get more that 40 for that and maybe have a reserve or safety net type deal so you do. Original tubs should get more money in my IHOP.

It might take alittle longer to find a buyer at that price but the vehicle is worth it, don't rush to sell.

Thanks buddy, but I think a house is much more important... Unless you have a cool garage to live in

I installed the correct OEM door panel bezels and took it for a ride to snap some photos for my auction.

Thanks man, and thanks again for your help with this project. I really think I used every resource on this forum, from Georg (Orangefj45) with mechanicals to Mark (Coolerman) for electrical and everyone in between, such as living in the past, overton, gumby, LCwizard, southboston and a bunch I'm probably forgetting.

Big thanks to this Forum! Without you guys I could of never done it.

Before and after

 

[wooten]

I may have missed it. But will this be a BaT Auction?

 

[ginmtb]

Man that thing looked beautiful at the start now looks amazing! Saw it didn't sell on eBay... .

I remember reading too it was going on BAT. Why not one of those crazy auction houses? Seems like with the detail out into this restoration it could fetch top dollar (enough to outweigh the fees).

 

[SSCR]

That wasn't mine on ebay, that was a different one with an Aqualu tub. I'm going to post it on BAT and see how it goes. I did do a write up for it, anyone interested in reading it, doing some editing and giving me your opinion? Shoot me a PM is your a secret novelist or some thing

 

[Jdc1]

In order to fetch top dollar include the words, one owner, barn find, rotisserie etc in your listing.

 

[cruisermatt]

Frame off, nut/bolt, ALL OEM parts, "these things are shooting up in value!", "cult classic!"

 

[Bowling4$]

I stayed up till 2 in the morning reading this thread. I am so impressed. The attention to detail was so impressive. I can't believe that you are going to sell it. But I guess it just feeds the addiction most important thanks for documenting every step I'm sure it was time consuming but will answer so many future builders questions. Thanks

the exhaust isn't the stock routing... sorry i didn't see that before... lol
