What's it worth - 1970 Roadrunner
I may now have an opportunity to buy a '70 Roadrunner that has been NFS(not for sale) for many years. It has been off the road since about 1980. I haven't had a chance to look at the car yet, so I am going off what I think I remember from the last time I saw it 12ish years ago. Originally a 383/Auto car but there is no engine in it now. The owner does have a 440 that can go with(needs rebuilt). If I remember all the stories from my youth correctly, I believe it has a deep geared posi from a '67 GTX or Coronet. B5 blue. Car was repainted in the '70s after it went through a barbed wire fence. The current owner began stripping the paint a few years ago and has since lost interest. To my recollection the car is pretty solid. Can't remember if the interior is bench or buckets(I think bench). Original wheels are long gone. I assume the interior will need the seats recovered just due to dry rot/age.
So what is a fair number? I don't want to spend any extra, but I don't want to cheat the guy either.

Look at the Hagerty website- they have a great valuations tool. You can see what estimated values are and then factor in the cost to fix/repair/replace whatever you need.

Maybe I should have titled the thread "What would it be expected to sell for".

Hmmmm.... anything special about this RR, for example, someone prev stick an AirGrabber hood on it? 2 things need to be checked out thoroughly, first the condition of the body. If the body looks half way solid, will need to go up on a lift & bunch of poking around should pursue. Last, need to ID as well as the determine condition of the 440 engine. Early factory performance 440 is def worth more than later one out of a motor home. Narrow those perimeters down, & it would be much easier to suggest a buy in price.

Being nothing special, it's worth about 25-30k in excellent restored condition. Figure backwards from there and you will get what it's really worth. Probably better to leave it alone.

I don't know if my opinion is consistent with the market or not. However, I am of the mindset that an auto car should be roughly 20% less than a 4 speed.

Mopar stuff will bring good money. I sold a nice solid RM21 ‘69 Roadrunner rolling shell for $5,000 a couple years ago. You’ll certainly want to check the frame rails and torsion bar crossmember for rust. Also check to make sure the VIN matches on the core support and by the rear quarter trunk weatherstrip lip. Pretty easy to bolt a RR dash/vin in a Belvedere or Satellite. Also make sure the fender tag is there. Sounds like it needs completely restored. I think $5,000 would be fair for a good solid roller that needs everything restored.

I would agree, a lot of Mopars around that year were column shift auto to boot.
