Guys, I do restoration work as a profession. On average, a
complete restoration will require between four hundred and five hundred hours. I
can generally do a car in six months. Five thousand is cheap for a complete car
such as this one.(if it is complete except for trannie and the body is
solid) Unless you are planning on showing the car in AACA national events
the trans is no problem. People are way too hung up on "numbers matching". A
nicely done 69 SS 396 will bring over 20,000 even after you drive it for a few
years. Put more value on Smiles per Miles and less on the trans is not the one
that came in the car.
Just my opinion.

I agree Bob and if you take those hundreds of
hours and put a price to it cause in my book time is money, lets see, 10
thou for resto, 5 thou for the car, lets go with a cheap rate of 28 $$ an
hour, times ah 110 hours, that equals 3080.00 total for the hours, when
all said an done 18,80.000, well seems alot for a 69SS unless it was the
300 model i guess and with the Yenko Option. Ken. better smoke
another one lol

I agree ...
BUT I
would like to know what exactly "needs
attention.: the term "needs" TOTAL restoration
means different things to different guys... to me it means at least $10,000
out of the wallet and 100's of hours in the garage
Both my son and I
own 68 396's and honestly our definition of restoration means simply
to get it on the street with no mechanical issues ... and also looking
good... without fear of a pot hole knocking a bondo patch off
the car...
