For Sale Not mine-68 300 $7500

[Joseph James]

Worth it? I don’t think so.

 

[Joseph James]

I guess $2k but curious what others think.

2k seems about right unless you really had to have it and then I’d say you just need to get it for under 3K. I like a Washington State car!

I told him $2k on FB and he went nuclear on me.

$2k would seem about right. Shows a lot of outside storage with a trashed interior, but it does at least run.

Oh you should never say that to a guy that thinks he’s got something. He’ll eventually figure it out on his own.

Agreed. I shouldn’t have said anything.

Not always! Some guys never figure that out.

Considering it's a 2dr, a 300, still has its 440, and is supposedly rust-free, I'd say it's worth a bit more than $2000.
I'd say maybe $3500 or so.
But it certainly needs a lot of money put into it, and it's not daily-driver-reliable, either.
But both bumpers look pretty decent (although rear picture is poor), the grille looks great (only slight misalignment of the driverside headlight door).
But needs a close eyeball before buying it.

So, I have a question.

The guy was big on numbers matching. I didn’t think that was a thing with C bodies. Is it important?

He is basing his price off of Hagerty. Are they reliable?

 

[fury fan]

I personally don't use any Hagerty, etc, price guide. Perhaps that's due to 25+ years of being into C-bodies, and values (to me) are what I'd be willing to pay, based on what is there in a car, what it needs, and what else might be out there as an alternative purchase. I am sometimes low vs the market, but that's OK with me. I've never bought a car wherein I regretted what I paid.

68 is the transition year of VINs on drivetrain, IIRC. Easy to verify the block's year when no AC like this one, though.
IMO, #s matching is nice but on a 'vanilla' car the condition of the car is more important to the valuation.
A car born with an HP drivetrain, or maybe loaded with options, would be worth more if orig drivetrain, of course.

On this car, one thing I'd wanna know - does he have the bottom of the back seat? That would be an annoyance to find, ship, etc. 'Minor' things like that sometimes turn me off completely.

Hey it's Vermont, that's where all the Bobby Axlerod types went to escape the NYC COVID!

Here's a TIP: You do know that if you mash your finger on a image that it will bring up a dialog "Save Image..." which will result in a better image to post here for the archives than a screenshot right? On FreakFace you may have to first select open or view image dialog to get to the save image, tedious but it can be done.

I think you are right on with your estimate of this car's value. I would rate the car as between a No. 4 and a No. 5, as regards condition. This guide seems to line up with that pretty well:
