I have a 63 non-numbers matching coupe. Has a rebuilt 327 with maybe 1500 miles. Needs paint, a little (very little) body work and 1 interior door panel. Any idea what it might be worth, ballpark?
Thanks!

Comment on Biggest Supercharger on a Muscle Car by brandon

The car did not have that huge blower mounted in the video where it rolled over on luanch. That bad launch has nothing to do with power, and more to do with extremely poor suspension setup. Maybe even a broken axle after it stood up. Those giant blowers {as well as ALL roots blowers} come off diesel engines, most gas cars use an 8-71 thru 14-71 sized blower. this means it pushes enough air to feed 8 cylinders of 71cubic inches in size a piece. If you notice that huge blower is severly underdriven to keep the boost in check, not to mention that gas motor makes no where near enough TORQUE to turn that blower fast enough to produce boost where it was designed to. That thing is made to power SHIPS not a car. Im sure the car is bent and the owner scared shitless from the easy over…so he built a car that could not possibly be driven in order to have a “valid reason” not to drive down the strip anymore. See it all the time with people that have more money than sense.

Did anybody of you ever think about that the car might be much more fascinating, the way it is ? Now it’s gorgeous! After restoration it would be just another car, which lost it’s history. Nobody of you would write about this legendary car with so many emotions after restoration. OK, I also wouldn’t love to see it go one deteriorate. But if I had the chance to buy it, I would preserve it just the way it is (e.g. dry storage). Not all cars have to be Pebble Beach winners. Let’s keep some that show their age and history with pride.

FYI, I have a nicer picture of that car when I was passing by it in 1990. The owner was pissed off I was taking pictures of it. Still hasn’t moved
