HI Jasonr70007

The Ute is in boronia Melbourne I'm looking between $5500.00-$6000.00 it sounds a lot but I've added up what it owes me with what i  have spent on the new parts and work done by rare spares plus the cost of the Ute also i have seen what price parts are selling for and i believe it's a fair price .New parts are 2 new sills 2 brand new original sedan doors conversion started on the left the right original is in good nik new windscreen and rubber 2d hand Torana SLR steering wheel plus  new indicator control tail lights and a lot more if any body would like to see photos go to ebay i believe if you type in the item number 140385205883you will see it my reserve was not meet you can see the photo of the car before i pulled it down.

Well guys you all must think I'm asking to much for this Ute as I've have not had any interest in it so far how about some feed back on what you think it  my be worth i know what it has cost me so far it & what it wouold sell for in bits  it will be interesting to hear your thoughts. it would be a shame to break it up for parts .Please let me know what you think.

Graham, VERY few people are willing to buy projects - It's hard enough to get it back together when you have pulled it apart yourself!
Maybe your car is worth $6000 but you will most likely have to be patient and spend some money on advertising in order to find the buyer.
I would consider that your price is top dollar for what it is - a completely stripped shell in good order.
Still needs masses of work to finish and plenty of dollars to be spent.

Hope this helps

No front end is a big turn off and no motor/gearbox doesn't help. The photos on ebay are confusing, just one set of current pics is better. As Ken said the price is at the top end of the scale for a project.
If you are patient someone should turn up who is after a project.

For example a complete ute $7500

Probably the other thing to consider and I guess what Ken and Stinky are trying to say is what would the cost be to finish the project... Ie a paint job alone is $5K at the low end taking it to $11 before running gear etc, where a very good condition original ute running and roadworthy bring between $12K and $20K for an exceptional example.

Like the guys said you have to be patient and the right buyer will turn up eventually.

My own opinion is I would have taken that last bid you got on ebay and moved on....

[mozzareli]

I did contact the highest bidder a couple of days later but he had just committed to another  deal i will put it back on ebay for a lower price and see how we go i still my sell it in bits i just need the room i have two cars in the garage and two in the drive way if i don't sell the Ute the HSV will go the HSV has not seen day light for more than two years as well.

thanks for all your input guys

my other hobbie is collecting old bottles and the way I see it, is somethings only worth what your prepard to pay for it, i.e I bought a "BROKEN" moonevally cordial bottle for $250 dollars and when it arrived the GLW was not real impressed that I paid so much for a broken bottle, but I wanted it and gladdly paid the dollars for it, otherwise its just a broken old bottle that could have ended up in the bin.

[mozzareli]

Well guys & Gals the Ute did not sell again at a much reduced price i may have to sell it in bits or just push it to the back of the garage again even though i have no inclination to finish it at my age i had hope some body would have taken up the project ah well that's life not to worry the only reason for selling in the first place was room i will just have build a carport for good wife's Subaru.Thanks for all your input guys it's a good forum to keep in eye on i have read a lot of good things in it some very interesting comments .
