Whats this rusted 74 super duty worth?
I found this xar in Canada for my buddy a couple years back. In addition to this car , he has a 71 and 72 TA that I also found him so he wants to sell the super duty to either put the money into his other cars or possibly purchase a other 70-73 trans am project. The car is all there with original block, heads, intake, carb, distributor, etc. Transmission is also original and will have a clear NJ title. The problem with the car is the rust. The frame rails and spring pockets are rusted badly to the point the springs are breaking the fear floors. The outer rockers have holes. The car does run and move but not a great idea with the rear floors. He wants to list the car on here and Facebook market place but wasn't sure what a good price would be to ask. I will post some pics shortly.

Cool find! I’ve always liked the white SD cars. What’s the story on the 71 and 72? Are they for sale as well?
I wouldn’t know where to start on value. It’s going to take a lot of metal work but all the hard to find parts are there.

He is keeping them. Both cars are Lucy blue cars. The 72 is freshly painted and being assembled and almost complete. The 71 is a decent driver that was previously painted He is looking for a correct HO block and components and will probably put it back to blue at some point. He is only selling the 74's because he likes the 70-73 body style better and will use the money from the 74 for the two others he has or maybe buy a 70-73 project.

In reading the comments it seems it did sell; he must have reached a deal with the high bidder. BTW, all 4-speed SD cars are non-AC.

I did not know that. I learn something new every day. I had a 70 TA Ram Air III 4-speed with AC. It was pretty tight on the right side under the hood. Wonder if 70 TA's with Ram Air IV 4-speed were NO AC as well? All interesting stuff.

70 RA IV TAs were no AC, regardless of transmission.

I think it’s worth $10-20,000 in parts,
I think it is a $60-80,000 car restored and a labor of love to get it there as the restoration will cost more than $60,000. Very hard to find the rear quarter panels for a 74. Likely have to make some from a set of 70-73s and a set of 75+. Be very interesting to see if any of the shell is left after having the paint stripped off it. If I was buying it I’d be willing to pay about $7500 (50cents on the dollar for the parts), Then sell what I didn’t want/need, keep what I do want and scrap the rest.

Seems kinda low to me for a restored numbers matching SD car. Where are you finding those our of curiosity?

A red 74 SD that looked pretty nice in a tiny picture was a NO SALE at 60K in recent Mecum auction. It was in Hemmings muscle Machines an issue or two ago.

You show me where a restored White 74 SD Auto went for more than $80,000. It's now listed at $27,000, so we may see what it's worth. While anything can be restored, I still think it's a parts car.

As I said I don't follow '74s (I personally don't like the bumpers) but it just seemed to be a low amount to me. But a quick search of BAT, Mecum and Barrett (may need to be logged into see the auction results) : https://bringatrailer.com/listing/19...am-super-duty/ https://www.barrett-jackson.com/Even...UTY-455-188653 https://www.barrett-jackson.com/Even...UTY-455-180481 https://www.mecum.com/lots/SC0514-18...am-super-duty/ https://www.mecum.com/lots/PA0722-51...am-super-duty/ https://www.mecum.com/lots/AZ0322-49...am-super-duty/ https://www.mecum.com/lots/SC0514-18...am-super-duty/ Again, was just a comment as it seemed low for a fully restored SD (even auto and/or white) to me |

There is 20g in parts. It is a numbers matching running car making it more desireable than a rolling shell and all the major pieces are there. I would price it at 25g and see where it goes from there.
