Pretty cool '70 wagon that's been done if Chevy would have had an SS:

Nice car, but I think the real value is somewhere between 1/3 and 1/2 his asking price.

Body looks great, but there's a lot of things going against it... Smallblock, automatic, black dash/console/carpet with blue interior, and the front wheels don't even match the rear ones. (Rear have dished spokes... I think they're Billet Specialties "Vintec" and "Vintec Dished")

And after all that, it's a wagon... I love wagons, but they just don't have the resale value of a coupe.

Yup. He is at around double what its really worth. For that kind of money, you can get a nice restored 70 SS 396 numbers matching car for that. Which gets you much better resale value if you decided to sell it.

 My thoughts exactly. It's a cool clone but he's gonna own it for a very long time at that price.

Being a dealer with financing, he may get someone on payments at around 20k.

Here is a wagon that I think went for the right price.  If it had been within a day trip down and back, I would have gone to look at it.  I think Derek  would have like it.

 

Power disc brake, PS, Auto, and AC for those hot MN summers.

 Now that is a nice looking vehicle at a reasonable price for the cost of restoration. Of course pics don't show detail, but if it is as nice as he claimed, it should be a decent deal.

I like that '66! Price isn't too bad if the restoration quality is as nice as it looks.

I don't care much for the 68+ wagon roofline, so I have a strong preference for the 64-67s when it comes to the wagons... just personal preference I guess.

The interior and engine compartment were just as nice.

 I liked the gray cloth seats and door panels and it probably made for a quieter ride too.

That's what I'd ask for mine if I were to sell it. But I bet mine is a little quicker than his. LOL!! The performance goodies justify the higher asking price I think.

Here is another one that looks like a potential good value for the money.

Close.

 

But it's 'used' now (I'd call it 'dialed in') so that's how it goes.

 

I'm not looking to sell it, but if someone wants it, I would consider it.
