The subject line tells all. I'm going thru a bit in my life, and I am considering selling my last E body. It is a '70, BH23L0 car. The unibody is currently visually rust free. I know it has some, some in the cowl, some in the dutchman and windshield/rear window surrounds, and a spot on the rear frame rail about 1x3". Car has had new trunk floors, extensions, and 1/4 skins, plus driver's floor installed. Has cracked factory dashpad, '72-74 ralleye cluster. It is more a race car than street car, has run 12.0s at 113 on race fuel witht he 440/727/4.30s 8 3/4 in it. 10x2 drums in front, 11x3 in rear, MP aluminum master, non power brakes. Mild modifications of the fire wall (filling blower motor opening, oval over brake rod hole, etc), some rust repair, and some filling and smoothing done for asthetics really. Cowl has small spots for hood pins welded in. The bigest mods are the 2x3 square tubing thru the floors for strength, and the rockers notched so 4" exh pipes can exit ahead of rear wheels. The pan is a fairly easy fix, the rockers are too, but feeling full disclosure is theonly honest way... The car has fender tag, build sheet, clear CT title, and all the body numbers match accept the door sticker (replaced the LH door due to impact years ago) dual scoop hood, '72 very rusty fenders, grille and headlight doors were being used, but I dont consider them usable as they are. Car was FE5 red and black interior, non Gran Coupe, 383 2bbl. I do not have the engine for it. Trans and rear have been replaced. rear is narrowed, but uses factory mounting points. Current driveline is 727 w/ rev pattern MVBm and brand new 3.91 clutch tyep grip, Moser Axles, brakes were done, front end was redone (car was daily drive for me in the 90s), has '70 console, Hurst Pro Stick shifter, rear mounted battery, shut off switch, electric fan, fuel systems (1 for carb, one wired but incomplete for NOS), and electric water pump drive. Manual steering (car was power steering, power brake), has 1 7/8 headers, and driveline wise is fully drivable. It has a Holley 800cfm 4150, installed 440 engine makes about 475hp on 110 leaded (12:1 with MP solid cam), 3800 stall, MSD 6AL, MSD billet distributor, etc. I have '70 buckets, belts, the heater box, and a bunch of other parts that had been removed. Car is basically ready for paint, but I parked it 8 years ago and it's been out maybe 6 times since then. I sold the glass fenders and hood 3 years ago to go back to steel and never completed it. Trunk and under hood have been completely finished in FE5, butt he under hood has a few spots that need to be addressed and will need to be refinished again. All trim and glass are good or usable. I also have a completely brand new still on stand forged crank 440 to go with it, that should make an honest 525hp on pump premium that I have over $5400. What is a car like this worth realistically. I have an idea, but I'd rather see it discussed. No opinion is wrong, so dont be shy. I dont ahve pics right now, and getting them is not easy. So lets assume I've been realistic and accurate. The cowl rot is all way inside, and would require the cap be removed, but I think it could be patched by a skilled body guy. I would also replace the 1/4s because they are skins, and the outer wheelhouses are modified to fit the skins and I frankly hate that...So let me know...
thanks in advance
