I first want to tell everyone that my intentions are definitely not to deceive or misrepresent this car. This is not who I am. I'm only relaying what I know about the car and what was told by the previous original owner I bought the car from in 2007. That's why I was asking here what people thought the car might be worth.

A gentleman came out yesterday who had extensive Mopar knowledge and looked at the car. He said the car "may" have been repainted, and if not, it definitely was brought back in areas to make it look very nice. So, if this doesn't make it a "survivor" then it is not. He did say it was a very nice car and all the numbers matched.

He knew the fender tag codes by memory and said it was all correct. I do have the original matching build sheet that came with the car also.

A guy that saw it today said the whole car was painted at some point so how much else are we not being told?? Quarter patches and trunk patches don't a survivor make.

I rate this Bee the same as the 70 Charger I bought last Summer. It was a 56k mile all original survivor car with no repaint - lemon twist (plymouth color and cant remember the Dodge name). That car sold for $26500. I'd say your Bee since it has been repainted and had some lower quarter and trunk patches....... Hmmmmmmm $22-24k. But the European's may value it differently since its worth $40k there. I'd say State side take anything over $23k.. Thats just my $.02 cents. BTW - I love the "different" weird color combination. Who wants to be like everyone else.

....I LOVE it and if I didn't have one already I'd be all over it....! I also think between $20,000.00 to $23,000.00 is a fair price for both you and the buyer.

Good luck w/the sale....

Nice
Mine is a 70 Survivor
Original paint/interior/decals....

$40K or $43K ???????????

$25k-$28k is more realistic.

I think what hurts this one is the color combo, not appealing to most.

Dave,

It is a great looking car and love the color combo.. Are you realistically selling it or looking for opinions?

I looked through your link to your farm and all I can say is WOW! The ambition, work ethic and vision to complete all that in such a short time... twice. Very nice thanx for posting, gives me a little shot in the arm. Jack.

Just had someone out and it's actually 49k miles. He said the front fenders were never off and he knew all the fender tag codes by memory. My kinda guy. Said everything was correct and working.

Well, I guess I am serious and have some offers already, and someone just came out and looked at it this afternoon. We're supposed to get rain the next few days here in central Wisconsin so I'm half thinking of just taking a lot of pictures and posting it on Ebay by next weekend.

I just racked it (can't believe I never did since 2007) and verified that it's totally numbers matching drive train etc etc, and the fender tag decodes exactly as it should.
The trunk has been patched in places but it looks like they did a very good job, they're small patches. It started right up after being in storage since last June.
There is a slight exhaust leak from the right rear stock exhaust manifold. Everything electrical still works fine. The lower quarters may have been patched at one time but there is no rust or bubbling, except a little under the front of the vinyl top. This is one of those "do nothing to it" survivor very driveable cars. It really doesn't need anything to keep it a good driver survivor, it looks and runs really nice.

I wish you guys were closer so you could see it. I know I personally will never buy a car again (I got burned once) without seeing it. I have some old pix of all my cars on my old website www.grumpys-garage.com I'm going to list a 1 of 200 made 1976 Cadillac Bicentennial convertible probably next week. One sold on Ebay a year ago for 83k, Jay Leno owns one and some prince or something in Saudi Arabia. Another example of a great car that I have that I take out of storage for 1 hour a year to go through the fluids and make sure the anti freeze is good. Oh well. I'd rather garden at this point in my life. I've been working on cars for 50 years.

IMO the "odd" color combo make it more desirable...
