: What do you think of this 64 SS?
Low 6Fo Aug 22nd, 05, 6:14 PM I'm afraid to ask this question because invariably, 20 people will say that the car is only worth $100. Where are those deals when I'm shopping??
Anyway, what do you think for $13k?

I am planning to use an inspection service. I had a very successful experience with that in buying a corvette sight unseen as well.
I'm just wondering if anything jumps out about the car....if the price is in line or way outta whack, etc.
Thanks for your feedback.
Dean Aug 22nd, 05, 7:10 PM Looks pretty good to me but then so does a picture of my car on the computer.
It sounds like a fair price but it depends on so many unknown things.
DaleM Aug 22nd, 05, 7:16 PM Looks like a good price but like others, pictures can hide a lot. If it's close enough to you visit, it might be worth the trip with cash in hand. I notice there were no takers even at the opening bid and it's apparently been up for sale at least twice with a now lowered price.
Pretty color combination and appears to have all good stuff in it. I'd have to get rid of the wood steering wheel though.
I looked at this one close on the previous listing......but, it looks like it's sold now.
Low 6Fo Aug 22nd, 05, 8:55 PM Well it's sold, sorta....to me. I gave him a small deposit which he said he'd refund if the car wasn't as described. It's just going to be tough for me to get there to look at it. I want to make sure the price isn't way off.
It did get a bid at $12k, then I contacted the guy and he ended the auction for an agreed $13k.
Chevello Aug 22nd, 05, 9:45 PM Good luck with it. It's a nice color combo. Just like mine... except for mine is all faded and has a bunch of primer spots. Thanks for finding that one. I always wondered what that color looked like in good shape.
Again, hope it works out for you.

If I get it, come check it out. I'm close to you...in Chester Springs, PA.
Freddy Mercado Aug 23rd, 05, 12:45 PM I know where there is one, an SS for sale. It is pretty cheap, but it has rust.
Low 6Fo Aug 23rd, 05, 1:02 PM I'm trying to stay away from rust as much as possible. This has 2 small areas that were rusted according to the seller. The body mounts that are accessible from the trunk and wheel well are affected. He said that he sanded the rust and coated the areas with (pardon my ignorance) something that "hardens to a ceramic like finish" then painted with primer. He claims that there has been no spread of rust in the 7 yrs since he did the resto.
I have an inspector going out to look at the car tomorrow. I'm interested to see what he finds. I can post the report here if anyone cares. It should be interesting to compare that to the auction.
Jblack Aug 23rd, 05, 3:43 PM I dig it!!!...I would love to find a car like that in that price range...Looks like a nice car for 13K. Can't get these things for a song anymore :( I paid quite a bit for one that had to be completely restored...I think you did good on the car. :thumbsup:
OrrieG Aug 24th, 05, 1:21 AM Check the numbers on the 327 too, if its the original then its relatively rare they only put the L74 in the 64's the last month or 6 weeks of production.

The motor actually came out of what the seller said was a 65 Impala SS. The number on the block is 3903352, and if I looked it up correctly, it's out of a 67.
Just out of curiousity, what's that motor worth? He said it ran just fine when removed 7 yrs ago but hasn't been touched since.
