I am thinking about selling the car. I should have researched a little more and made sure I bought a car w/ A/C & P/S already on the car (a/c not necessarily working).
It has a rebuilt 400 big block and a TH 400 transmission (it used to be a 4 speed) I am in the process of finding out as much of what he had done to it. I know for sure it has a holly carb, edelbrock performer intake, long tube headers and a pretty good cam cuz it lopes pretty good.
He said he spent $4,000.00 on engine and tranny back in 1988. He also said he only ran it for about 5k miles and parked it for the next 13 yrs or so.
The guys high school buddy bought the car from him in 02' and got the car running enough to get it home I guess and parked it again until I bought it a couple of months ago. I flew to california to get it, & had engine/tranny, & cooling system professionally flushed and refilled, & had them replace all hoses and belt & alternator.
I drove the car back form Cali afterwards and it ran strong the whole way. My only problem was having to replace the "wrong" alternator bracket that was on the car.
Anyway, here is a description of condition and a link to pics:
Rust wise there is bubbling around the rear glass and some bubbling/ small quarter sized hole of rust in the trunk floor close to the rear lights.
Front seats, dash & sail panels need to be replaced.
Rear quarter patches on both sides need to be put on, & some bubbling behind both front tires.
Endura nose is in bad shape probably beyond repair.
Has 160 speedo, & 8k tach (w/ little clock).
It was in some kind of parked accident. that is why the hood and nose are different colors front left fender still bent where it meets nose on top.
Horn/oil press gauge/ TACH do not work.
you can see everything else in this link.

Based on all of this, how much do you think its worth?
