I'm considering selling my 69 in the interests of getting another classic with better body and possibly an 8, and so I'm trying to figure out the budgeting. I'm curious how much you guys (and ladies) think I could get for my 69. I don't have pics, but I'll spell it out as best I can.
1969 Coupe, 148000 miles, 200 cid I6 w some degree of smoke, but not bad (also small front main seal leak). 3spd manual (1970) (1st gear synchronizer doesn't work), clutch is less than 6 months old, starter is less than 3 months, carb rebuilt approx 8 months ago, Pertronix flamethrower coil and ignitor ignition installed. New cap, rotor, wires, Bosch Platinum plugs. New tires in July. Brakes in great shape, new cylinders on the front (drums need to be turned though). Springtime Yellow (or whatever they called it in 69). Damage to rear pass. side qtr, damage to rear valence (would need replacement), pass side door dented up. Needs pass side window hardware (though glass is fine and rolled up, it can't roll down). Black interior in remarkably nice shape, dash has a few cracks, but nothing too rough. drivers seat upholstery is kinda coming apart (just the usual, in that regard) and one of the pins that holds the seatback up is broken. would just need a bit of a weld.
True, she needs a LOT of work, but she is an UTTERLY dependable daily driver. She's only stranded me once in almost two years, and that was due to my own stupidity/inexperience in repair.
Can somebody give me a ballpark figure?
(sorry for the long post, and sorry for bringing up yet ANOTHER "how much?" ad)
incidentally, outside of local ads and Collectorcartrader and Ebaymotors, what are some good sites for looking for classics for sale?
I'm looking in the 3000 range, I'm content with a 6 (it's daily driven), any classic year. Can anybody point me in the right direction?
