OKay so i was doing some research on my car, I always knew it was an original SS car, but I actually dug out my build sheet (from my fire proof safe:) and got to looking at the options. According to everything I looked at it's a 350hp 396,4spd car. it has the wheel well molding, but no rocker panel molding, and it's solid black, no stripes?? I didn't know the made SS's w/o stripes. It has ivory interior and bucket seats w/ consol. the only other "wierd " option that I found is that is has the facotry front bumper gaurds. I still have the original 396 for it sitting in my car port, but my question is..does it sound like more of a rare car due to options or does that not make that much diffrence? I'm debating on how to sell it... sell it like it is w/ the 498/th-400 with the custom flamed paint job, including the 396 and m-21 I have or, selling the 498/auto combo and using that $ to paint it back solid black and put the 4-spd/consol back in the car along with the 396. I'm not looking to get 35-40K out of this car if that's even possible, but 25-28 would be nice. any advice would be great...thanks in advance

Sell it too me as is, please include the Original stuff. I have the Build Sheet for my 70 SS. It is also originally Black with no Stripes and Front Bumper Gaurds and about 20 more options. Originally Black with Black Vinyl Top and a Black Bench Seat 4 Speed.

Strips were standard with the ducted cowl induction hood and optional without it.

Another black ,no stripes here.Also have build sheet but no bumper guards.Bench seat 4-speed.It would be a hard decision on which way to go with the car.It would really depend on what the buyer was looking for.Lots of different opinions on this one.Good luck.

but my question is..does it sound like more of a rare car due to options or does that not make that much diffrence

IMO:
Rarity does not always = $$$
Desirablity = $$$

Example: no strips might be rarer but strips are more desirable.

Or an odd color might be rare,
but the red with black strips, or blue with white strips, bring the money:)

Desirability>Rarity
