Mine is a '68 I've decided to let go and that's the main reason I've joined - to get some advice regarding my cars value and hear some opinions about how I should proceed. This was the car I could never afford early in life, but I finally got one and I've done just short of a full restoration with multiple modifications from stock. I look forward to hearing from you if you want to weigh in.

Great looking car and love your neck of the woods,I'm over here in the hills of SW Washington.
I'd consider maybe doing a consignment at a lot who specializes in vintage cars like your '68.
One reason I say this is up where you are it is a pretty long haul for most people to go see the car and I wouldn't expect there to be a lot of buyers nearby.
I'd get a pro appraisal on it's value first,I'd imagine both could be done in Spokane or Boise where there will be a lot more exposure and potential buyers.
Heck I'm only an hour from Portland but up in a somewhat remote rural area and I have trouble selling things because shoppers look at closer cars etc. and usually buy before they get to me.
Look at nearby cities car ads to compare their asking prices on similar cars and you'll have some idea of the value of yours.
If I was to throw a ballpark number out there I'd say it's a $30K car maybe more maybe less depending on actual condition.

 

I appreciate your feedback. I don't know the first thing about finding a "pro" appraiser, but I'll see what I can learn. I make it to Spokane frequently so I'll start there. Thank you.

 

You might contact this page and ask,it's based in Spokane: (INCCC) | Inland Northwest Car Club Council | Spokane WA
There's a long list of car clubs in their page including a Camaro club in Spokane.

 

You make me glad I joined.

 

Glad to help,very nice car and I wish I could afford to make an offer.
I had a '69 for 14 years,had to let it go when my kids were young and we were buying a place,many years ago now.
You couldn't buy the front clip now for what I sold it for back then with a good running 396 and 4 speed.

 

Welcome to the forum! nice ride !

 

Thank you. With Y2Keglide's suggestions I'm inching my way along finding prospective appraisers and consigners. There's a promising looking classic auction house in Coeur d'Alene that looks like a possibility too - that's only 80 miles from me.
This may not be the place to mention this, but I have the original mono-leaf springs from my '68 that I can't bring myself to scrap. From what I see online there's no value in them. I put them on Craigslist and got zero inquiries. What do you think, are they worthless?

 

Restoration?

I'm selling my car and it's the only car I've ever "restored", but I have a question about that. When do you truthfully get to call a project a "restoration" or in my case a "restomod"?

I've done a lot of work to the car inside and out, but I've always hesitated to tell anyone I "restored" it; that seems like a higher level than what I've done. The body was taken down to bare metal before painting. Front end disassembled, cleaned and painted. Engine pulled and overhauled. New carpet, new upholstery. And much more.

I'd like to hear some member opinions please.

 

Well there's restorations and then there's restorations,different levels to be sure.
A high end correct on all points resto as it came from the factory for show quality originality takes a real expert,little things like paint overspray under the car like it would have come from the factory count in judging a stock restored show car.
A concours d'elegance quality restoration as it were.
In a car like that every little detail must be correct as it came from the factory when new down to the smallest piece of hardware and that can be difficult to achieve.
You could say yours is a very nice driver quality restoration and not be out of line.
