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.
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 :\
