Now, I don't have any pictures, so I guess you'll have to use your imagination a bit. (They're on their way) I found a '66 Nova that has been media blasted, tore apart, has all the trip, bucket seats, two sets of doors, two trunk lids. All the fenders, a complete car that someone bit off more than they could chew. the guy says the body had no bondo, no rust, the floors are good, and it's a nice car. What is a decent price range for a car that's ready to be restored, with a nice body, and all the parts and pieces? I know this is an impossible question without pics, so a range if you could? Thanks.

If its what you say it is to me it would be worth 3 to 6 thousand thats what I would pay what its worth to you or anyone else I don't have a clue.

Being disassembled there is always a risk of some of the smaller pieces coming up missing. I have lost parts of my own projects and have never found them :confused: The more usable original parts that you get will make the restore easier. Reproduction parts do always fit as well as the originals.
I am sure the owner has tossed out a price, if not start with a low offer, afterall this guy isn't interested any more and may take a lot less then it is worth to get it out of his way.

Thanks fellas...He priced it at $5500, which seems fair to me, but I want to make sure.

Isn't 5500 a little much for a car that is basically all bare metal? I'm not trying to insult you or the guy who is selling it but if he's asking 5500 try hitting him with 4500 tell him you're going to have to spend at least a grand to get it at least primed. I would hate to see your investment start to rust in front of your eyes. Just my 2 cents.

It has a coat of primer on it...I'm pretty sure it might be an SS car. There are some spots where it sat out that are poking through with some rust.

I would pay around $4000 - $4500 if there's no sheetmetal that needs to be replaced!
