'69 C3-Estimated costs and problem areas to reanimate long-dormant car

[tom406]

That is pretty much the twin, Tim. Your guy just ordered the power brakes and steering I wish this one had.

Thank you everyone for your input. I'm actually advising an estate on this car and I knew a number of you have dabbled in C3's so I wanted a quick head check. My enthusiasm for finds like this sometimes leads to me underestimate market resistance to certain aspects of cars. I do have strong interest in this car (my favorite year and color combo) but due to the inherent conflict of interest in appraising and buying something, the heirs would have to opt out of purchasing it and the executor would decide put it on the open market (ideally in an auction format) for me to buy it with adequate transparency.

It's been said on the board many times, but these are almost criminally undervalued compared to other Chevrolet muscle cars of the era. I found a number of comparable nice, documented, #'s L46 Coupes (and a Roadster) that have sold recently for less than $40k.

Thanks again everyone.
