That car does have a bunch of good parts, but considering that it is still pretty rough, is $70,000 a fair price?

That seems a little high to me.

I guess it's what the market will bare. I am starting at 70K only because of the car flippers. If someone would really like to own this to keep then we can negotiate a price.

You can buy a DONE hemi clone ragtop for around 100K. There is one on e-bay right now stuck at 75K.  this is a solid start to a project, but needs lots of work and parts.

Well the auction has ended. Talked to alot of very nice people. Had a couple visit. Just didn't bring anything close to what I expected. I only put the buy it now of a rediculous $75K because of a few arrogant cats out theres emails. Even had a couple goat ropers offer me a whopping 25K - 30K cash to take it off my hands(As if, yeh right.). Amazing how it works when you own the one thing most want.

Anyway I would like to thank all here for their support.

I think the next step is to restore it myself and put it back up as a 6pack or Hemi clone.
What do you think?...Ralley green with white int, black top white hockey.

If you want to sell it after restoring it, don't paint it ralley green. Paint it black, ornage, pruple or orange. Too many people will pay for the high impact colors, not so many like the other colors. Check the auctions, the color dictates the price. Good luck
