How much is a 67' RS worth
Guy I work with has a 67' RS. He says it's important to the family, on one hand he wants to keep it but on the other he wants to sell it, and I'm wearing him down haha. So here is what I know about it.
6 cylinder engine, pretty sure the miles are pretty low.
Everything is original except for a fender, quater panel, and steering column but that was replaced with one out of another 67'. Interior needs a little work, but it looks good for being as old as it is.It's been painted about 3 times, the current paint looks good except it's peeling in two spots on the front clip, so it's gonna need paint.
I get out of school in a little over a month so hopefully I'll have a nice job making some decent money and this could be a nice little project.

I am far from home and my literature, but I dont think the 67 RS came with anything smaller than a V-8. Again, I am not near my books so I cant be sure.
As was typical of standard-equipped vehicles at the time, braking was by four drums, the steering was slow and manual, and Chevy's rugged 230-cubic-inch straight six poked out an optimistically rated 140 horsepower while twisting a three-speed manual transmission. Buyers could opt for a larger 250-inch version of the six making 155 horsepower, a 210-horsepower 327-cubic-inch small-block V8 fed by a two-barrel carb, that same V8 with a four-barrel carb and a higher compression ratio was rated at 275 horsepower, or two versions of the 396-cubic-inch big-block V8 making either 325 or 375 horsepower.
They did come with the inline 6 in 67', I looked on plenty of sites. His has the 230ci motor. Come on give me some idea. I've looked on ebay and other car sites but most of them I've found have been restored or mostly original but in worse shape. Not even saying he will sell it to me, but I'd like to have a ballpark figure if he did.

Well, just a ball park , and I could be all wet on this. If it is in the conditions you say it is would be around 8 to 12k. perhaps a bit more. Is it a daily driver? miles on the motor? Which fender and quarter were replaced. To replace a quater you have to do a bunch of cutting and welding and fitting and sanding and painting to get it right, why was the quarter replaced? from a wreck or rust, either way I would also look at the areas of rust; door jambs, any seal, roof to hood and roof to rear deck lid, rear deck lid. So, I would start at 8 to 12k and go from there, just me.
And beware of that "sentimental reasoning" too. It will rear its ugly head just when you think you've closed the deal. It's happened to me many times. Someone in the family unleashes the guilty party and you'll lose every time.
Or, on the positive side, maybe the car will result in somebody (his wife or girlfriend) buying a new car. I'd start with $8K, but let him pick the price and see where it goes.
