car now for sale in the for sale section, I would attach photos if i could but I don't know how to....

My FC Holden is now on the market, details are as follows:
-1958 FC special sedan (100% complete although not completely put back together). 
- Car has not been driven since 1984.  I purchased it from a mechanic in country Victoria who had intended to restore it but didn't get around to it.  He did however manage to completely rebuild the Original grey motor before I purchased the vehicle and at the time reciepts of this were viewed. The motor has never been started since the rebuild but does turn over by hand, therefore I am very confident it will start problem free.
-Subsequently I intended to see this restoration to its end and use it as a daily driver, however this has been impeded due to not always living where the car was being stored.
-The body has had a full bare metal respray in DUPONT 2 pack in the original colours [Terracotta/Adobe Beige] in 2004.  Subsequent to this, the vehicle has been covered up and garaged until yesterday.
-Seats need repairing and respringing.
- Chrome is ok although not redone, however some dents, pitting and spots of rust are present.
- Original number plates still on it.
- Inside and out, vehicle is 100% original (ie.no seatbelts or radio.)
- Door trims are cleaned and ok, although like the roof lining does have a used look about them.
- A brand new extensive Rares Spares rubber kit has been put in the vehicle and is well bedded in after 6 years of storage.

Overall I honestly believe that this car needs 2-3k to be spent on it before it is finished.... It is a regrettable shame that this car must go however I will be moving OS and it is unrealistic that it can come with me.

$8k neg. (Location Geelong, Vic)

No problems I will get pics up as soon as I can, although I feel this car is too good to be used as a donor considering it has had a full bare metal respray in 2004.

Thanks for your reply fchoon and Ken.  I was also under the impression that it may be worth completing prior to selling it although the downside would naturally be that upon completion for sentimental reasons it would be harder to sell. Oh well, it looks like I'll have to get the hands dirty again.

I'm seriously considering selling my FC Holden and am having difficulty in ascertaining how much it is worth.  I would appreciate some estimates from any members that have better knowledge on this issue than I do.  Essentially the cars details are as follows;
-1958 FC special sedan (100% complete although not completely put back together). 
- Car has not been driven for atleast 12 years.  I purchased it from a farmer who intended to restore it but didn't get around to it. Subsequently I have intended to restore it but time and not having access to the car (as I was living interstate and overseas) prevented me from completing it. 
- The body has been resprayed (2 pack and back to original colours [terracotta/beige]) and panel beated since approx 5-7 years and placed in a garage and covered since then, hence like new and without rust.
- The farmer from whom I purchased the vehicle rebuilt the engine, therefore it has new pistons etc.  I did view reciepts of this at the time of purchase. Although the car has not been driven since this rebuild, the engine does however turn over.  The engine has not been resprayed as I intended to restore it back to being a very tidy (original) daily driver, and not a show car. 
-  Seats need repairing and respringing.
-  Chrome is ok although not redone, however some dents, pitting and spots of rust are present.
- Original plates still on it.
- Inside and out, vehicle is 100% original (ie.no seatbelts or radio.)
- Door skins (inside) are cleaned and not damaged, although like the roof lining does have a used look about them.

I think that's about everything.  A rough figure on its value would be appreciated.  To finish the vehicle back to a RWC, I have conservatively estimated 2-3k.  That would consist of repairing the seats, new tyres, RW certificate, etc.
Essentially to cut a long story short, the car is original with the body restored.  Engine parts, steering etc. have not been put back in the vehicle.  I hope this information prooves sufficient.
