Value of '69 L78 Nova

[Schonyenko2]

If this is a car you personally want and don't care if it costs more to buy, and restore than the potential selling value, I think you're good up to 15k considering all that's there, and the condition. If you're not replacing sheetmetal, that's a big plus. A car at 5k that needs 10k worth of metal replacement may seem a bargain on purchase, but paying more on purchase for good metal is a better deal all the way around. JMHO

Pretty much anyway you look at it, you'll be upside down on the car. Specing it is not a good, or profitable option. If it's what you want, cost doesn't matter as much within reason.
