75 W-30 H/O

redoldsman

A member in our club (NTOC) has this exact car except it has ram air on it. Same color. It is the one Richard called the Holly Grail,

Andy

Beautiful car, hopefully these 66 cars are finally getting the respect they deserve.

Koda

I don't think anyone disrespects 66 and 67 442s. 68s and 69s, yes, for the engine, but not the previous.

I am perfectly ok with having a car that isn't madly popular. Keeps prices down.

Charlie Jones

"Madly popular" cars usually go to the guys with the most money.
And the least common sense.

Andy

Disrespect wrong choice of words. Popularity would be more appropriate. Nonetheless the price indicates popularity which is fine with me. 66-67 cars can still be had very reasonable. If they go up in value as they will its ok with me..😊

F-85 4-4-2

Hammered at $59,400, plus the 10-12% Buyer's Premium.

I knew Mecums guesstimates were way off. The highest I ever saw on an
L69 car was on BRING A TRAILER. It sold in low 70’s. They only 66 w30 that sold at auction was a frame off, sold at low 90’s I believe.
Thats the old Mr Black w30, now factory white with blue painted top.
59k plus fees is definitely on the very low side for a frame off bonafide L69.

Koda

I think it's about right. An L69 442 is much closer to a 442 than it is to a W-30.

Andy

Many frame off restored 66 l69 cars have far exceeded that. That was a deal, try doing one yourself and only spend 58k. Won’t happen unless you can do interior, mechanical restoration and body and paint. Most do some of this but certainly not all. That was a deal!!

Koda

If you've got data, cool. I haven't seen many go that high.

The argument of try doing that yourself is a non-starter; you can't recoup restoration prices in sale prices. This is why no one buys projects anymore.

Water pump hoses are wrong. Nice car over all though...Id put it in my garage. 66 and 68 are my first two choices.

Andy

On BAT , they show past sales, very few proven L69 cars as you know. I have only seen two proven L69 cars actually for sale before this one. Mike Richards had a red one and don’t quote me but I believe he got high 60’s low 70’s several years ago. It was a National points car resto. For me it’s all about doing a lot of the work, that’s my hobby so buying a done pristine car isn’t in my DNA. I agree on project cars. However way too many have crazy prices on them and the owners think they got a lottery ticket. Here in town is a 66 442, original drive train, original paint, red, white gut. 4 speed car. Obviously the paint is rough, trunk pan holes, but overall a very complete car, runs good etc. Old cat thinks it’s worth 25k, I like the old dude and keep trying to help him sell it but it’s a 16-18k car, not 25..He will not here it..

Koda

Indeed.

Then there's restored cars that have problems. My H/O has problems, I fix them as I go.

$59K for a hum drum black interior '66 442 is too high in my book. Now, if it was white or parchment...different story.

Andy

now that’s some pretzel logic..lol. 😳
