The problem is its to late its not 1987 anymore people if you really wanted to know value on these cars you would have asked HURSTCOLLECTOR before he passed away. They are worth what someone wants to pay end of story quite asking the same old question

Is this a don't ask for an opinion forum? I can't imagine a world without opinions!

[SOM Firehawk 02]

Hey Everyone,

Thanks for all the feedback and helpful insight on the car's value. I really appreciate those folks that gave there opinions and helpful questions about the car. We've gotten a lot of PM about the car, request for additional pictures and what the asking price is.

I have taken a lot of pictures that should answer a lot of the questions that have come up here. The link for the pictures is as follows:

http://s1275.beta.photobucket.com/us...77988729987474

We have decided to sell the car and will be asking $24k OBO. I will be posting the car in the classified section with all the details about the engine, cowl tag, and all important casting numbers one might need.

I will also post the link to the classified ad on this thread once I have put it up for sale.

The car is located in St. Augustine, Florida and my contact information is 904-315-1554

Thanks again,
Ken

WoW
what a difference a few better angled pics can make !

If it were real real solid with a comparable 69 WS engine block and everything else in order - maybe 25k.

but -

Restamped fake carburetor - deduct big
68 YS base automatic block - deduct big
bad trunk lid - deduct big
bad hood - deduct big
cracked dash - deduct big
all the wheels are wrong codes - deduct
plenty of cancer - keep on deducting

i'd be scared of a Florida car in this condition.
From all the pictures i see about 8-12k maybe - only because it is a Judge with clear title and still has about 4k of decent prominent parts still usable.
And some buy sight unseen.

Not throwing out hate or anything - you asked whats it worth - just flipping out on your estimation of value. Wouldn't bother me a bit to offer 5-6k and walk away without it.

If you can get Half of the 24k from someone after an inspection in person - you're doing damd good.
It won't be 2006 again for a long time.

If you put it on eBay with strategic pictures - it might pull 15k or better in bids - then wait and see if they send a transport for it - or show up in person.

Not your fault the car is in this condition so don't take it personally.

Here is the link in the classified for the car including more pics and information on all casting numbers including the WS block that goes along with the car.

i think this is the method being practiced. lol
But i was really being sarcastic / tongue in cheek with that previous statement.

Only the best strategic type pix are on the auction.
That in itself is very misleading and questions ones ethics.
Pretty shady.

With the Pbucket link inop ... thats really going to the dark side.
None of the nasty stuff is shown or mentioned in auction.
Just says it will need restoring ................

i'm guessing some of you guys didn't view all those Photo Bucket pics and/or have no idea about Florida cars that get into this condition. They don't stop or find neutral.
dream on dream weavers

[Baron Von Zeppelin]

And want to say too -

it was stand up righteous that the sellers even took those pics of the problem areas and posted them on P-Bucket for us to see.

They didn't HAVE to do that for us.
Just like they don't HAVE to do that on eBay.

Any of us that were interested enough to investigate - had that chance.
This car gives 2 different impressions depending which view you are given.

The folks on eBay will need to fend for themselves and use their own tactics and methods and judgements of pre-purchase examinations.

Just have a quick question. If you look at the picture showing the drivers side of the car with the door shut the bottom of the door sticks out from the quarter panel. My car (a pontiac built car) does the exact same thing. It is exactly like that one.

Was this a common thing on these cars? Just curious

No. Simple adjustment needed! I use 2x4's. lol

Has a lot of interest already - - bid up to $17,600 and appear to be three bidders who have placed bids at $15k or more.
