Tube Chassis Help
Hello,
I posted a for sale ad a while back on several different platforms for a tube chassis my father left behind when he passed. I've been offered $500 for it when it's listed for $9000. Am I crazy? I've seen them online for $15k. I've also read on this forum and many others that a good tube chassis will cost you big bucks. I've heard some pretty astronomical numbers, so I figured I wasn't being insulting by posting it for $9000 as it's more complete than others I've seen as well. However, it IS older...
I feel most "at home" on this forum and am genuinely asking for help with setting a realistic price for it. Full disclosure, I have an ad for it on this site. I'm not looking to give it away, but I'd like to be realistic and offer someone a good deal on it. It's in storage now and I can't afford to keep paying the monthly payments on it.
PM me if you'd like to go offline about it. I know in the sale ads, negotiating isn't allowed in the open. I'm honestly / sincerely not trying to haggle by posting this here. I'm looking for help setting a price from this community that has been very welcoming to me and my questions since my father passed away.
It had a '69 notchback barracuda on top of it and was IHRA certified in the mid 90's. I contacted the IHRA certification office / person and they tried to look up the sticker number but had no luck. They told me they only started keeping info. on certification numbers in the year 2000. It has a fuel cell and ladder bars, but I can't find any branding / stamping anywhere that would help me figure out who built it / where it came from. It also has steering.
Please help!!!
