I currently looking at buying a 71 HQ GTS Coupe. The car has been garaged all its life, has no rust and nil accidents. Currently its at a stage where it needs to be rubbed back and resprayed. It has no motor. Originally it came with 308, 3 sp auto and lsd. The car is complete except for the roof lining and as mentioned motor.
I just need a close estimate of what i should be offering.

My preferred method is to ask the seller what he thinks it is worth and work from t

if the body shell is damage & rust free, has all the GTS bits & is a genuine GTS, even with the engine/trans & headlining missing, I would say a starting price of $5k would be my guess, as a bare shell in good nick is worth $2k these days, but it all depe |

Well, it's a GTS going by that trim code.
Snap it up, they aint making any more.
Post all the info off all the plates here and someone will ID it all for you.

we have agreed on $2800. The only snag is he took the ID plates off the car 10 years ago during the rebuild stage and now can only find 1 (the large one with 80837, paint etc). Is it worth spending the money to fix this car? The car is complete and no rus

Still a good price for a complete coupe in good condition.

If he wants the deal he`ll find the plates, ask for the plates to be there when you hand over the cash , also contact the reg dept and see what they say about it.
