    Just talked to a friend who has a 246GT, 1970 that he's interested in selling.

    The car is in good driver condition overall (with a couple of caveats). Has not been on the road in a couple of years and needs the brakes overhauled. Right now it'll go, but it won't stop. Interior needs a re-do, but the car has a replacement vinyl interior kit from Re-Originals that I'm guessing the owner will toss in.

    Owner claims approximately 17K miles. I've only seen pictures so I can't verify that.

    Will need paint in the next few years, appears rust free, has been in SOCAL for the last 20+ years.

    Assuming all else is as described, driver condition, vinyl interior, NO BOOKS, NO TOOLS, I'm looking for your input as to market value.

    Here are a couple of pictures that may help, a little.

    I'm going to guess between 70k and 90K Prices have been on the upswing the past year. GTS's are $100K plus.

    An instant sell at around $75k. A one year sell at around $110k. Parabolic curve for prices / sales dates in between.
    :D

    $70k was the price for a car like this two years ago, not today. based on what has been sold and what has come up for sale, the car is in the 6 figures

    Boy, I'd say that's low. Top-notch GTSs are fetching 175-185. Hard to say from four photos, and I'm no expert, but it looks like a car that could be brought close to show standard for $40-50K (assuming that there are no hidden major issues). Given that, I would think it would be worth at least $100K. Just a SWAG.

    top notch cars have brought more than this. i agree with the cost of making the car a nice driver - and that assumes a pretty much worse case scenario given the photos of the car.

    dave,

    what do you know about the engine and gearbox?

    Would the fact that it's a "Euro" add to its value?

    They are original to the car.

    condition is still up in the air, as it won't stop, it's a bit hard to run it through the gears.

    I'm expectiing some info on the compression in a few days, I'll advise as I learn more.

    Aloha...1970 would make it an 'L' series with knock-offs and aluminium doors/hood .......must be a later model...an L would be worth more IMO...

    rust??
    engine/trans overhaul $30k
    paint 10K
    misc and brakes $10k

    better you buy one already done IMO for$135-150

    This may be an "early" model but I don't think this is an L model. The details are different, such as door key location, non spinner wheels, bumpers, etc. Maybe a M model ? IMHO Jimmy

    Aloha...
    misc and brakes = $10k ?
    This number has got to be including quite a bit of latitude in the "misc" to add up to $10k, as I performed a full brake job last year including new front rotors, pads, flex lines, ATE blue fluid, etc from dinoparts and it was a fraction of this. Dino brakes are not very complex compared to modern cars.

    If your intention was to list a conservative number for general mechanicals, then I think I know what you mean.

    Serial number I don't know.

    I do know it's a 1970 manufacture date. I'll try to get the serial number from him later today.
