Thanks again y'all!

Not sure where the white interior came from...I had a comma in my description but maybe I didn't get that grammatically correct so I will clarify. The car is highland green with white side stripes & GT 350 markings. Interior is the deluxe black. 

?
er, black interior.

Wow, thank you for all of this great info & advice! I am in no rush at all so I have time to take care of the items mentioned and to speak to a few folks more knowledgeable than I to hone in on a realistic market value.

The car meets about half of Jeff's "survivor" criteria. It is numbers matching engine & transmission (verified myself) and has the correct carb & a cast iron intake manifold because it was an early '68 before they switched to aluminum. Interior is nice and correct except it has a '67 steering wheel because my uncle hated the plastic '68 wheel - don't have the original. It has a few dings here and there and I think there may have been some spot repainting but I don't think the entire car was done. Paint is tired but from a distance looks OK. I've put new belts and hoses on it but I used repro original hoses, didn't worry about the belts. Exhaust manifolds are gone. The brake vacuum booster was shot but I sent it to a guy in Portland who rebuilt it rather than buy a new one so that is still original.

I am a member of SAAC Carolinas but I've never been able to make it to an event to meet folks near me. I will be going to the Mustang Museum grand opening & mustang days in Charlotte in a few months so hopefully I can catch up with other SAAC folks there.

Thanks again, I really appreciate the time and thought that went into your advice!

Regards,
Rich

Hi, I am in the early stages of considering to possibly sell my '68 GT 350. I have no experience selling a classic car so I'm looking for advice. A few questions I have are:
- How to determine the car's fair value (I have checked out the coralsnake website on car values btw)?
- Whether it makes sense to use an agent/intermediary?
- Is using a site like bring-a-trailer or ebay a good idea?
- What to do to prepare the car to get the best sale price?

My car is an unrestored survivor with 67k miles. It runs & drives great, is Highland green with white, interior in nice condition, 4 speed #0214. This is a car I inherited about 10 years ago. It had been stored in a climate controlled garage for 12 years & I enjoyed spending a few years making it road worthy & reliable.  Now I drive it pretty regularly on weekends & to local shows. I can't afford to do a full resto & I'd like to get into road racing, thus the reason for thinking about selling.

I appreciate any & all input!

Thank you,
Rich in Columbia, SC

Probably drive up from Cola for one day. Maybe Thursday for the parade.

I was having a problem with 1157's too. Inboard 1 & 2 were fine but outboard 3 would barely flicker. Ran a ground all the way from battery to the rear harness and no change so I think it is either a dynamite stick or steering column switch problem. I bought an electronic flasher but that didn't help. Wound up trying the adjustable Scott Drake flasher from CJ Pony Parts and now 3rd/outboard light works. I had to slow down the timer considerably so I do think it is probably just masking another problem but it works now. 

Hi,

Pleased to hear from you. I'm in Columbia, SC. #214 lived in Worcester, VT with my uncle from the early 70's until he passed and gifted to me in 2009. I always loved the car and first drove it back in the 90's. He drove the car regularly in good weather - it is a driver not a show car. He called it his "50 foot car" - it looks great from 50 feet away!

I believe he was the second owner. Originally sold in Concord, NH.

Here is my tag:

Sir, I have 00214 with many early year similarities! I am surprised though that yours is not a dual serial number car, mine is. Quite a coincidence if they cut off the 2x numbers between our two cars!

#00214 out of the garage and on the road after a year in the garage for suspension upgrades!
