You also have to put yourself in the seller's shoes and imagine what you'd be willing to let the car go for if you owned it- offering a seller $1000 or a little less is realistically not going to get the car unless the seller is desperate or bored with it. A bidding war at one of the well-known auction houses can drive up the price of any car, but in most cases you'll never recover what was spent to restore the car. Clearly it's a buyer's market and it costs more to completely restore a Firebird than it would be worth, but demand for a car is subjective these days and dependent on where you're selling the car. A 1969 Firebird convertible with the original drivetrain is always going to command a premium price, even if it's rough and needs a complete restoration and sheetmetal repairs. ![]()
