Not unless you want to use a bull, instead of the horse...

So its not B.S. then...

here's one possible setup.

Other than that, bolt two 4x4's to the K-frame mounts...

I have the pieces to this if somebody needs it, with a little work you'd be in business, (had about 200lbs at the ball, gutted shell no passengers)

Yes he does. He also needs to adjust his price to what it really is.

Ok so lets start a new argument since you all think I am crazy. What would be a fair price? because everyone thinks its too high but no one makes an offer. and no 500 is not an offer. If you do the work yourself you will make a good car for cheap. I like the car but I am running low on space for it and its a little far back on the list of projects. If someone if serious about saving the car and not just looking for there next thing to cut up for ebay profits I am willing to work. I just want it to go to a good home.

You have good intentions which is good 3500 is to high for half a car Rare or not if you just Found a Front Stub frame for it so it could actually roll on all four wheels that would be a lot more tempting to buyers it does look really solid which helps. There are a lot more knowledgeable people on here who would know price better then me.

speaking as one voice in the crowd, I don't think you are crazy.

the price discussion has gotta start somewhere and you have done that. sooner or later it'll all get sorted out in the marketplace.

you will get/have seen already a variety of inputs on the "price relative to the car as is". you can use that info to calibrate what you think is "fair." ultimately it'll be between you and the person who agrees with you on the price.

you can be assured there are true experts, in every positive sense of that word, on these cars here on FCBO. and then there are people like me who know a little bit just through ownership experience.

so I think you can continue to expect a variety of views from us on the question of price now that you have joined the thread.

my two cents: finding the buyer ---whatever the price turns out to be that you two agree on -- given their intentions (e.g., restoring another Hurst, trying to complete this one as non-numbers matching Hurst, or something else. etc; ) for a rare but partially complete car may take a bit of time.

i say this because the potential buyer pool might have fewer participants in it than if it were a "complete" car. or it could sell later today. who knows right?

I know you know all this...end of the day I am just glad you are trying to find it a good home. best of luck with it.

Economics 101,

Why should I buy this car at $3500 when I can buy a complete car for $8000 with the original engine and trans along with the fender/data tag.

The $3500 will cost more to ship, and at least $4500 to replace all the missing parts.

I'm not saying the $8000 car is prices right but If I had $8000 I might contact that one before I'd look to piece together a car.
I'm in the middle of a major restoration and I couldn't imagine trying to track down some of even the regular parts not to mention 300 Hurst specific ones.

Once restore (the $3500 one) it'll never be worth what one with its original engine/trans/fender ta would be.


I wish you luck, what you have is a parts car shell. If I was to find a 300 to use to restore this it would be more realistic to just restore that car.


I'm a numbers guy so I might be a little biased, but I think most people wanting a 300 Hurst would be as well.

pardo - you da man, mang.

if someone is buying @ $3500, then you got it listed at the correct price

one time i sold a car for what i thought was a fair price,, the first guy that looked at it bought it and didn't haggle me one penny. he handed me the money and put it on the trailer and left. i think i jipped myself.

dont jip yourself!

I'd say $3K - $3,500 for that. You do have a good back 2/3 of a Hurst, granted. But with title and without a fender tag, it's gonna be used one of three ways:

1) Parts source for a build of either a 300-Hurst or a wrecked/rusty 300. The only 300-Hurst-unique parts I can see are the deck lid and the console.

2) With the lack of interior parts, that is going to be a pretty big problem, even at the $3,400 in your CL ad now. Yes, the car has nice floors, but...

3) Someone with a lot of ambition AND money will build a 300-Hurst from what's there.

I'm thinking number one is the outcome with your car.

The console is not a Hurst unique part.

 

[patrick66]

OK, so the decklid only. Sounds spendy for 2/3 of a car body, very little interior, no drivetrain, and a Hurst fiberglass decklid. It does have a title, I'll give the car that. He has lowered the price to $3,400. He'll probably find a buyer in the $3K - $3,500 range.

 

[commando1]

I'd pay a dollar for a piece of paper that says 1970 300 Hurst.
Cuz that's all you're getting.

 

[cm23uoc]

These cars were titled the same as any regular 70 Chrysler 300 anyways AFAIK.

 

[patrick66]

I know of one 300 Hurst here in OKC. The title simply says "1970 Chrysler 2DR"...I'm quite sure no title anywhere mentions "Hurst", as that is not a body style, just a modification.

 

[MrMoparCHP]

So there is nothing unique about the VIN? So without the Data/Fender tag this is just another 440 2-door 1970 Chrysler? wow, that changes everything when you look at it that way. Rust free shell with title, $1500.
