Is it actually worth that kind of money??? and if it is... what makes it that valuable,
Mine is a 85% original that I am restoring and tastefully (hopefully) modifying and I hope I get my value up in that range..
I figured since it was a 350 non-HO that the value would not be in that range?

Is it actually worth that kind of money??? In the neighborhood. and if it is... what makes it that valuable, Originality and A/C
Mine is a 85% original that I am restoring and tastefully (hopefully) modifying Kiss of death in this market and I hope I get my value up in that range.. Maybe not depending on what you do.
I figured since it was a 350 non-HO that the value would not be in that range? Hard to find clean, original cars in that condition.

Ditto! Ain't nothing like an original kept pampered classic. For those who value originality of course. They are an investment for sure...and you know what you have, nothing hidden. This sure looks like a well preserved example and if a dealer specialized in classic owns it may just be a decent car....

Dealer dropped the price $3k! might just have to go and take a peek, it's only an hour from me. Unrestored and original kept birds become harder find. www.vipclassics.com

Don't recall seeing those hubcaps on a '68 but the car looks like it's worth a look. I know nothing about what a good price is though.

It's worth it if the body panels are original, paint looks good up close and there are no major issues. One can find a super rare Ram Air Firebird that's all numbers matching that will sell for 2 times that price, yet be a complete basket case... It is a good looking car. IMO, a little high at 25k...

Price was dropped to $22K, might get it for $20k even, think it suppose to be all original sheet metal, interior and drive drain with the engine rebuild in the 80,s. I think its priced right for an original bird, had same owner for 41 years.

Went and looked at this ride yesterday. I probably never seen a 68 that was all original like this car. Its close to 100% stock! All panels are solid and alignment, fit and flushness are near perfect. Interior is all stock and very presentable with no rips except for 1 minor one. The engine runs like a clock and the trans you can't even hear shift. Brakes work great for drums and it has power and goes down the road straight, no pulling. Put a vacuum gauge on the manifold and this car has high vacuum, steady needle which means engine internals are good! The under carriage is solid with the usual grease marks of an all original car. Nothing rusted through, missing or leaking. Suposebly only 1 repaint and engine only had the top done in the 80's. Nothing else needed. Very nice color comb with the blue on blue. I'll get a 69 next, but if any of you are looking for an unmolested solid driver, might want to look into this one. Dealer dropped the price from $25k to $22k, which is reasonable for a 2 owner low mileage (106k) car that doesn't need much. Took a couple of pix.
