Some honest opinions.... Hahaha this should be good

[Scotty]

So I am getting real close to the completion of the '68 Polara, and upon it's completion I would like to find her a new home. This is where the honest opinion part comes into play. From reading a lot of threads, I can see that most of you have been in the C Body/ Mopar game for a while. Now if ya'll could imagine you built this car, or saw this car for sale, what would be a fair selling price?
Here is a mostly complete list of the work done.

Thanks all!!

Ok, so all three of you didn't see "I wont clog up this post with a million pics, but I do have several pics of the rebuilding process in my gallery"???

 

[tallhair]

Well just as you said in your initial post .. pics in the gallery

I hope I didn't clog it up too bad

I just added the pics... Thank you for adding some also lol

 

[tallhair]

Not to many pics there normally actually so when people see a new guy and an add that's not the first thought normally.

Thanks for sharing the car. I'm can't touch most of the rest here on valuing C bodies but it does look like you've done a lot and I like it.

Looking forward to how you finish the interior (love the turquoise) and what you decide do about the finish .. i'd keep it as is or go full Ross plasti-dip on it.

Looks pretty bad *** to me.

Welcome. Why the sale?

Ok well we're not the ones asking for value of our ride. You ask for help then want people to go hunt down your information.. glws.

Thanks man!! It was an original turquoise interior, so I wanted to stick with that kinda tacky/cool look. The seats are the same vinyl as the dash with these turquoise-y cloth inserts.
I'm keeping the finish as-is.

Welcome. Why the sale?

I brought this car back to life for someone looking for an awesome classic cruiser, without having to give up an arm, leg, or any first born children.

 

[tallhair]

Got any pics of those seats? A lot of Mopar guys love the tacky/cool turquoise btw.

Well I do anyway

Ah I see a glimpse here

I'm thinking new seat covers would look pretty sharp but no idea what they looked like originally or if repops are readily available

 

[Scotty]

I'll get some seat pics up here

 

[tallhair]

Here's pic of seats in a very nice 65 Monaco I saw earlier today

Something like this ?

 

[Scotty]

The vinyl really isn't that blue, its more of a dark turquoise blue.

Looks like a nice car, exhaust is kind of lame but easily fixed

Heh, I was gunna say $6800. With a range of 6 to 8k depending on buyer. I think 6800 is realistic. I saved the wheel comment for you. Mine was a little mo% harsh.

 

[Scotty]

It was titled "Honest opinions" so that is what I want to hear, no matter how harsh they may be.
I am a little surprised the wheels aren't getting much love on here, all the people that have seen the car here at the shop really like the look of them. I guess it is one of those love em or hate kinda things. Thank you to those who have commented!
