Love the color combo and side pipes .... even if the #'s don't match I'll pick up a cruiser like this some day....
Assuming it isn't perfect... is this what someone could expect to pay? Is their price right?

Patrick,
From various shows that I attended in 2002 and other sources, I would say that the price is the going rate.
Is the price right?? that depends on you. My personal feeling is that there is not a big enough difference in price between the drivers and the original and/or restored cars.
Before I have to get out the firesuit, please understand what I mean, I am not slamming anyone here.
Taking the case in point, the asking price is $29,900.
If you look around on the net you will find a lot of Mid-Year Vettes, recent restoration to factory specs, in the $32,000 - $35,000 range.
Back to our current example. We know from the photo that the hood and the sidepipes are definitely not original. It is probably a pretty safe asumption that there are other, incorrect ( to factory specs) things about this car.
Now, if I buy this for $29,000, can I return it to original specs for the dollar difference noted above. I doubt it.
I know that not everyone is looking for a factory correct car, nor do I think they should. My only point is I would expect a bigger difference in value/price between the drivers and the restored cars than exists presently
