Dad's 84 Monte Carlo

Carlrx7 · 09-29-2013, 01:14 PM

I know very little about this car. My dad's job got transferred so they are building a new home. In the mean time my dad asked me to store/sell his Monte Carlo. It was the last car my grandpa painted before he passed away, so he just kept it in the garage and worked on it when he wanted some quiet time. He's owned it for 13 years. If it makes it a whole year in my back yard he will take it back.

Here a list he made for me:

84 Monte Carlo
350 CID - new rings + bearings, seals + gaskets
10.5 : 1 flat top pistons
mild hydr cam
202 fuely heads (double humpers)
profrom : 750 dual pumper/4 corner spray (purple carb)
intake: holley street dominator hi-rise
headers
ing : accel distributor and wires
trans Turbo 350 manual valve body
rear : yukon(new complete) 3.92 posi gear + axels (brakes new) shoes + drums + hardware
new battery
new fuel line hoses
fuel tank cleaned

That is what I got from his handwriting.

Some things i'd like to note about the car.

Paint is really good, nice straight panels, a ding in the passenger front fender next to hood. looks like buffer burn through on the corn of the hood you can see when its popped open.

no headliner
cracked dash
heater core leaks
no a/c
manual electric fan

What do you guys think is a good starting price and bottom dollar price?

here is a link to all the photos and a couple walk around videos

any ideas what to list it at?

Start high and work your way down. The car looks super straight and clean, so it should draw some attention.

Carlrx7 · 09-30-2013, 07:35 PM

5500?

Who got a truck and trailer?

BigdaddyDupree · 09-30-2013, 07:46 PM

I don't think that's a crazy price I think it's in line. I wouldn't take less then 4-4500 for it honestly.

Parents house will be finished soon, Dropping price to 4500. Any lower and I'll buy it or he will take it back down to FL.

The heater core takes about an hour to change out. FYI.
