What it's worth (WIW) '68 Barracuda fastback
As you know, I've been out of the hobby for a while and I'm now trying to get back in. I am in negotiations to buy the '68 Barracuda fastback you see here in the pictures (and there are more pics in the attached Photobucket link). Quite frankly, I really don't know how to estimate what it may be worth. So I thought that I would ask you all for your opinions. If I am posting this in the wrong forum, Mr Administrator feel free to move it to the appropriate place.
Originally it was a 318 car. Now it sports a '70 340 with a 727 behind it and a 3:23 geared 8.75 rearend out back. The car looks and shows extremely nice. There is no rust and the paint is a 15 year old lacquer job that shines like new. Basically it doesn't need much of anything but a new home.
As you can see it is not a "correct" restoration. It's kind of a semi-custom "resto-mod". There are a lot of custom features - especially with the interior. I really like the aftermarket AC - have you ever seen a cleaner AC installation under the dash? Some of the 40+ year old wiring harnesses were in poor shape, so the guy had the whole car rewired - everything from bumper to bumper was gone through. You can see some of the custom rewiring in the engine compartment pics.
I'm really jazzed about it. But that's a bad thing cause it's hard to remain objective when you are getting all excited about something. What's it worth? I'm not sure. I've looked around on the internet but prices are all over the map. So I was hoping that you guys could help me gauge what it may be worth?
