ive got a 66 el camino in fairly good condition its three on the tree n i just put a new clutch in it. it also has a new electronic starter. the interior is in good condition. there is a small rust hole in the bed. it is a small block bored out to a 327 and runs great. it also has dyna flow exhaust up to the headers. i just put on a few other lil things like a master clynder but it doesnt have a heater or ac. im lookin to sell it cuz im 17 n make 10 bucks an hour n gas just keeps getin more expensive. how much do u guys think i should sell it for

Sorry. Can't even hazard a guess without lots more info and some pictures, so I'd check and watch for comparable cars on Ebay and similar venues.

Okay, speaking from experience guys/gals.
ANY car, provided its not some rice burning wok machine, thats made from old american steel, is loud and proud, and older than most any other vehicle drivin thru yer neighborhood will cause you grief in years to come [after] you sell it.
you will either see it lookin like you wished it was when you had it, lookin like somethin you'd never have thought of doin to it, or wrecked in someones impound lot.
yes gas is expensive, yes minimun wage stinks, and yes anything less than 12/hr is hard to hotrod with....BUT....mothball yer ride, take up some much needed garage space and wait for the day you can get back to it 8-) There WILL be a day you'll make more and have more time, its then you'll wish ye kept yer "baby" :-D
I say this after having 2 hotrods stolen, 1 wrecked, and an unmentionable number sold and lost forever. its much more difficult to replace a car you once had and loved later down the road, especially now :(
had a 79 firebird TA when i was 16....sold it when i joined the army and when i turned 27 and found another "replacement" baby....she cost me 3 times what i paid for my first one...AND...it didnt even run :-(
dont give up somethin you treasure for someone else to enjoy...instead hoard yer "toys" for in the end.....its He/She who dies with the most who wins 8)
66 nova duece, tubbed and flamed...stolen
65 lincoln continental....stolen and totaled
73 k15 blazer...sold and wrapped around a telephone pole
79 firebird TA....sold and parted out for cash
....i wanna cry....
8) 8) 8) 8) 8)
78 firebird TA SE
2...1952 plymouth cranbrooks
36 dodge 1 ton rusto rod
and my elizabeth....86 choo choo
