100k as it sits sounds reasonable , considering it's probably a 225k car done, and if it won't pull that number today, it will in the not so distant future , and then some. Their is a saying in one of my other hobbies that "you didn't pay too much, you just bought a little early" . It looks like a great project for someone , and the absolute pinnacle of 1968 B body cars .
Greg I agree.

if "sunfire yellow" is the original color - that would be rare for a 4-speed HEMI GTX convertible 5 of the 6 I know of are "electric blue metallic" I think that was written on the order sheet: "blue paint is recommended on a HEMI GTX" & if you checked the convertible box, there it was again: "are you sure you don't want it painted BLUE?" if the frame rails are there - it would be a pleasure to restore a car of this caliber that hasn't been thru a couple of restorations already ..... WELL OPTIONED also: HEMI, 4-speed, PS, PDB, head rests, wood wheel, remote mirror, CAR, bumper guards, light package - did I miss anything? QQ1 is a great colour. LL1 would be better though Carsten

I wouldn't be surprised if there is an 8-track & power windows hiding in there somewhere ..... aren't both MI cars automatic? & SA's ember gold metallic is fine - but the green interior is hard to swallow if it was returned to "YY1" - sierra tan metallic, this column shift automatic HEMI GTX convertible would be a welcome departure from the all too common "QQ1"

Greg I agree, and IMO it could bring even more than $225k done.
Kayse can't keep up at all now. lol

Price may be a little stout but the seller calling potential buyers dumbazzes is a bit much.

Believe Devil was at his barn? Nope, never been there! Sorry Devil, thought this was the same guy with the 69 hemi coronet rag, 4 speed car. Barn looked pretty similar..

I know that car and the original owner. He's got to be about 100 by now, I don't know who is trying to sell the car. He's one of the nicest guys you could meet. The car has been in that barn for decades, parked it when he spun the engine, maybe mid-70s?. He's a true car guy - he used to terrorize the streets in an old Dodge pickup with an early hemi in it. Knows what the car is, has turned down many offers over the years. His late wife's pride and joy was her Arrow, also in the barn, sitting for decades.
I haven't seen him in a few years, been staying at his girlfriend's place. His farm is pretty much a mess now, since his wife and dog passed on. I saw where someone opened up the side of the barn somewhat recently, presumable to get the car(s) out, so I don't know if he sold it, had it moved, or still there. It's possible the car is elsewhere and the lister is selling for him (or his estate) or maybe flipping. Seems to me if he were serious, he could just ask any of the car guys here and have it sold in a few days. Some heavy hitters here in Rochester who know the car. Or eBay. Definitely not cl, though.
I think it's worth every penny of $100K as-is, and I know he turned down more years ago.

This yellow GTX ragtop is an easy $100K value. Numbers,4 speed and appears to be fairly original. tag is there and most likely so is the sheet.
Cool car, glad my hands are full right now.

It is a cool car but I can't see it worth it in real $. Maybe trade value? That yellow is less than fantastic but the 4-spd bumps it back up. This one was at MCACN in 2015. The guy picked it up for in the $70K range.

Zip code is the main problem. If it was in Tucson I would feel better. A buddy of mine found one of those for sale in Alabama once. Except it was QQ1 blue, white stripe, white interior, white top, build sheet, fender tag, 4 speed. He wanted it bad so I loaned him the $200.

I see a minimum of 75 large going into this car, and that's if the body is solid. Is it worth 200K finished....I don't know. Mark, when are you picking it up?
