20-23k IMO if not a bit more, FBs especailly GT350 clones are worth serious money these days, solid and in nice shape.

Nice car but the 70s wide tires-air-shocks stance would have to go, and paint the FB vents white, and put on a GT350 hood and it would be MUCH easier, faster and more $$ to sell

I like the dash gauges, is that homeade?

Fastbacks are worth pretty good cash in good to excellent condition 20 to 25K...BUT this car is pretty heavily modified even though it appears in great shape. Hard to say just going by photos but my guess would be around 16 or 17K and that may be on the high side.

I think it is a wonderful looking car that most anyone would be proud to drive.

With that said, the car has some very difficult to fix flaws that (while small) take away significantly from the top dollar possibilities.

Example 1: Appears to be a dent on the passenger door above the door panel. Almost impossible to fix because the metal is textured - you cant hammer it (flattens the texture) and you can fill it (removes texture completely) - so your best option is replacement - which in this case means another door, and some paint work which will probably be hard to match perfectly.

Example 2: Globby weld as seen on the roll cage. I suppose you could grind that out and re-weld it (I would because I wouldnt trust the strength of a weld that looked that way) or you could filly in/around the area with body filler.

Example 3: There appears to be numerous chips in the paint - such as the hood between the two stripes.

These type of flaws are IMO minor in the scheme of things - but they are the type of things that make a Price Winner. Flaws like this can make the difference between the car selling for 10 grand vs 20.

Obviously a lot of work went into the vehicle. I think I am with preacher on the price. Remember the ultimate determination of value is not what anyone thinks it is worth. Rather, it is what the owner will part with it for compared to what the buyer will pay for it.

I like the scoop but I'm not sure it is a shelby one.I wouldn't mind one myself

If I was going to Appraise that car just by the pictures I would say $16k-$18k. Now he could do about $2k of additional changes/fixes and detailing I could get $23k-$28k. The small things kill resale on a clone or a small block car because they made millions of them and are still easy to get.
