Wildbill, I have been buying restoring,selling the 66-67 comets and fairlanes for over 20yrs a nice body with only minor dings and no rust less engine and tranny is easily worth 2000.00. Remember people are paying 750.00 & up for just a 1/4 panel from these cars. If the interior is complete, buckets,console,dash pad the car is worth 4000.00 less engine and tranny. Most of these cars you find the people always say the engine and trans are rebuilt. Make sure you find out from them exactly whats been done. Ask for receipts on bore, pistons,cam/lifters etc. to make sure its not just a coat of paint or a timing chain & a few gaskets. Whats rebuilt to one person normally does not mean rebuilt the way most people see it. If it has a fresh 390 or even a rebuildable gt 390 engine use it vs the cleveland as it will run circles around the small block and be worth much more value to the car. The big block fords fit these cars better than the cleveland engines anyway. The 9000.00 listed for a number 1 66-67 fairlane gt is way off base. I am dealing on one now for a customer at 15,500 & the person is not excited about selling it. I have a good friend here who just paid 8,000.00 for a 289 2v auto car & he thinks he got a good deal. The 390 Gt cars will bring near or more than double of a small block car. Check with owner to see if it has the original carb, dist, air cleaner,valve covers etc as all very expensive items to replace. The console alone is worth 500.00 or more by itself by all means if it is rust free buy it. What state/city are you located? |
