going price on realy sharp panels

[chris mc bride]

WHile Im fixing my panel up mainly because ti was my my grandfather and I grew up taking vactions all over NC,TEN,Vir and Florida in it.I would like to be able to put a price on it when its finished.
I figure between powertrain up grades, new paint job to be show quality if I can(Im pretty determined at times) and with finished and custom interrior it should be a total show truck,but hopefully one I can still drive from time to time. It should be worth a decent amount. Wondering how much the rarity of these old panels,much less super sharp ones ,effect resale value.
If you have a total retored,cutomized panel let me know what you think your would be worth and if don't mind a short list of mods or how close to new condition.
Plus if i convence the old lady its as much as investment as it is for the fun of new toy.Even better,yea she knows better.

I think a panel is an acquired taste with a limited market. So if you dump a lot of money in it I wouldn't expect to get it back out.

Ive been slowly putting together a panel over the last few years (might even get it done someday lol) Nearly every single part of it will be new ... I will never get what I have in it unless some wealthy person just has to have it.

Im figuring my cash outlay to be 15,000 or so. I did inherrit the truck but it has to be worth 5000 as is. As for finding the someone who has to ahve it don't worry to much.My grandfather didn't want to sell it in 1977 ,but the guy who bought it was determined to buy it and as the godfather says MADE HIM A OFFER HE COULDN"T REFUSE. Unforunately he didn't care enough to take care of his investment. 15 years later Pa bopught it back and 1/5 the price.
My grandfather had a saying he lived by( we have enough junk to prove it) thers a buyer for everything if you just wait for them to come by. Plus this way I get to play with it while waiting. I don't care if I sale it either that gives me good chance that another god father will come along.
