I don't want this to sound like another "what's it worth" thread, but I've had someone inquiring about my '66, and the car has a couple of things to consider that aren't typical for a midyear.
The first is the fact that it was SCCA roadraced for the first 3 years of it's life. (Personally, I think that's cool.) There is evidence of a rollbar once being installed, and of the car getting bumped around. Unfortunately, (the second thing) the front end got bumped too many times to patch it back together, so the car ended up getting an Ecklers' one piece front put on it. It looks alright, but the install wasn't that great- you can see where it was joined, and a couple of other sins. The paint is 26 years old, a 10-15 footer. The birdcage shows a touch of surface rust in front of where the doors shut on each side.
On the up side, it has the original 327-350 HP engine, 4-speed, and rear end still in it. The car has only around 54,000 miles. It has a good, solid frame. It runs and drives really well, sounds nice with factory sidepipes, (although not original to the car). I have the complete owner history all the way back to the original owner, whom I have talked with several times.
What kind of range would you say the car is in, pricewise?
See next post for pics.
