Nicks67GTO talk to an appraiser they can tell aftermarket and repop parts and your appraisal on your vehicle will show this. thats ok nick i'm 36 and had my 1969 judge since 1990 and i'm just finishing total restoration with original parts and NO repop parts. i will love to meet you and talk and hear your opinion and give you my opinion and let you talk to an appraiser. my father is the original owner of a 1967 gto conv. that took gold concours and we did the restoration at my shop, NO repop anything and his appraisal with protecto plate is $120,000 more than some gold 1969-1971 judges. granted it has a $12,000 champaign metallic black interior and top 4 speed 3.55 gears. you will not see a better 1967 gto conv in the world.

its all perspective man...if you want your car to be worth the most possible amount... that's all good its what you want, some people Do not care about appraised value... I've never had any of my cars appraised, as thats one persons estimation and certainly not gospel or even close to real world value...sure you have a piece of paper that says its worth 100k but can you get that?

However they are just cars and their value changes with the market and economy...your all orig judge is worth alot less today than it was in 2006...same with my 71 six pack shaker cuda' which is why I don't bother with appraisals and whether or not my cars 100 pt oe gold or what have you...im driving and enjoying that's what this hobby is all about!

I understand that if you're going for 100pt showcar. I dont have the $$ to do that. Its much more expensive to restore to perfect than it is to build it for fun. I'm not sure what the appraiser would think of my non numbers matching 455, Moser 9", 4 wheel discs, richmond 5 speed, SFI flywheel and bellhousing, RobbMc 1100 pump/regulator, robbmc starter, 8an aeroquip fuel line, jeep power steering conversion etc....i don't care. I know some guys do. I don't. Hell Iv'e considered converting to an LS. Remember this is a numbers matching 67' H.O. california car...and i don't care. IMO in about 20 years when all the boomers are in their 80's and on their way out, the value on these cars will fall dramatically and no one will give a **** but a few of us. I'm building mine for fun and to drive the dog piss out of....

$15 pulleys bought to flip this is crap and not what py forums are for they are for people needing parts for their car not people trying to make a quick buck.

i get the appraisal for perfect cars overspray is just like the 1960's painted bolts are painted non painted bolts are not painted and the paint is correct for the body tag codes all the numbers match and the body paint is the paint from the 1960's not the new paints i don't do a half as5ers. who get bronze or silver or gold my cars are perfect 100% and original parts and thats why my 1969 judge took 20 years to complete. the appraisal is correct when the appraiser saw my cars he was stunned. this is me protecting my investments. p.s. it's saint pattys day and time to rage the only way I rage is with a raging kegger party and thats what i'm doing today after this post. bye i will talk to you guys tomorrow please keep posting comments i want everyone on PY to comment on this.

That's cool. The hobby has/takes all kinds. Your fathers 67' is probably gorgeous. He also has more in his interior than I do getting my car back on the road with all the parts mentioned in one of my previous posts. I'm going to beat the dog piss out of mine, drive it the grocery store, not freak out if i get door dinged, let my daughter spill ice cream on the back seat....
