During the summer break, I purchased a non-running 307 cutlass as a project car. Fast forward a few months and thousands of dollars and I have a complete 455 daily driver. I've racked up around 1,000 miles on the rebuilt 455
but unfortunately I have to sell the entire car to make room for an inherited 85' camaro from my uncle that means much more to me than this cutlass. I don't know what to ask for because I haven't seen any other cars like mine to compare to. What's the going market price for a bb gbody in this condition? I'm in the Cincinnati area btw. I just need a round-about estimate so I know what a reasonable asking price is. Hopefully it goes to a good owner and doesn't get dunked with 24's on vine st. ![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
The paint is faded but the body is straight.
The engine bay is all black with 307 valve covers to give the illusion it's not a big block. The internals are stock. Performer intake/ repo WZ manifolds.
Everything is new. Plugs/wires/hoses/fuel pump/carb/radiator/belts etc.
Nothing special - a J head motor.
I actually have a rallye pack gauge cluster in the back seat but I instead decided to do something different.
The most interesting (embarassing?) project on the car was the exhaust. I wasn't sure if an aftermarket setup would bolt to the w/z manifolds or not so I bought 2 mufflers and piping and made it myself. GForce crossmember.
* I just replaced all the front suspension/steering components with all MOOG parts ~$500. The car drives like new, downshifts, everything works (no A/C tho), I drive it back and forth to school. Trans is a TH350. No bumps/rattles/ this car is a totally solid driver that can be driven today. It really hurts to sell my dearest child but it's something I have to do :\
