So today I came across a 68 Monaco in British Columbia the guy has owned it since 69 it has very little rust from what I can tell has never been restored . It has a 383 4 barrel carb very little work. Bucket seats. Interior is mostly good and is white body is burgundy with a vinyl roof. I'm just wondering what it would be worth. I'm not familiar with them

 

Not a popular body style $500

 

Ouch... Dam Lynn...Rite in the jewels...lol

 

Surely it's worth more than that. Or it's just going to be the sentimental value of the story

 

Sentimental value ? DO a resto and spend $25K and you will have a vehicle worth 15K.. So it depends on what you want to do..

 

The guy had owned it since 69 he wasn't sure on the value and I thought he might have been a bit optimistic about what he wanted for it. I just came across it on a job I was doing for him and it struck my curiosity a little and I was Wondering on a value on it to see if I decided I want it or not. It was a bit of a barn find I hoped it was something a bit cooler like a cuda or something.

 

What's he want for it? I'm thinking $1500 or so if it runs.

 

He said to make an offer. He said he would like 5000 for it I said to much and that I would look into the value of it. I was thinking maybe 1000. He said it runs but I didn't see it go. It hasn't moved in 15 years or so

 

You will find lots more rust once you start work !!!! THAT can get $$$$ to fix. You would be better off finding an A or B body for $10K that just needs a refresh...

 

Yeah I know. I'm still deciding if I want it or not at all. I might go back and have a better look at it but probably won't buy it

 

-- Good idea. - If it has sit for 15 years or more, there's plenty of problems that are not obvious. -- Problems = Dollars, sometimes BIG Dollars.

 

I agree unless you can get it for free, or he pays you to hall it away.
