definately no less than 20k.... thats a nice bird... the white pops, and with it being a show winner, it clearly has something done right to it..... even drives after the occasional hiccup....

not being a numbers car might hurt it a bit, but i was at mecum in indy this spring and nicely restored non se's were going for 18-22K all day long.  plus your's has a built 400, 4spd,  and t tops and needs nothing.  you find a person who loves white and you should get in the low to mid 20's.   you let it go to a dealer you will most likely get mid to high teens. 

the problem i have found is not a lot of local people have the cash to buy a car like that and you will need a national outlet and even world wide to solicit that car too with over seas shipping being a real possibility.  trying to find someone via craigslist in the local greenville area will be difficult.  the dealer who bought my 79 last week said it will most likely go overseas, which opens up another set of issues to deal with. 

you have a car that you do not have to give away, so get your price.

Personally I have not seen your car in person, but I have to agree Doug I have seen your work I know you can get more then teens for it.
I long for the peace that only driving a t/a can bring.

That's a nice car don't give it away. R&M does a auction here in the spring, or put it in CLASSIC Auto for the winter, alot of guys put a high price on their car in the winter and use them to store it. wanna sell the gold t-tops :'(

Squirrel, correct its not a #'s car . but it is a almost 6k build , by a Pontiac guro.  I also have the PHS for it so I can see what it use to be like when new.

I think it might go on epay soon with a high resurve just to see what it might sell for on there.

High teens is BS. Taxes and shipping is a buyers responsibility and you should not have to take the hit for that. My Vette went to Europe and the buyer paid all costs. He was a dealer as well and probably made some serious coin on the car once it arrived in Holland. I would not go less the 20 to 22K.

That is the best gauge.  Free market system- worldwide audience.
