In my ventures on craigslist I was asked today if I would consider trading my vehicle (which I am hoping to get around $7000 for) for a 1978 Pontiac Trans Am. It has the 400 engine with a 350 turbo transmission. I've been trying to figure out about what it's worth but I'm finding a range from $2000-25000 on these cars just based on whether its project condition or show quality. NADA guide lists low-quality retail at 9,750 but I don't really know what to base it off of. Can anyone help me out?
Here's what he said it needs done: "The interior is in good condition,it does need a new headliner ,new passenger seatbelt it has one littlte rip in the passenger seat at the seam.The passanger side tail pipe got knocked off thanks to my EX Wife.Runs and drives great.I just had new valve cover gaskets put on last weekend,and a new oil assending unit."
Anyone got any idea? Also, even if it is valued at a good price, how tough would something like this be to sell? I don't know what the market is like for 70s classic cars these days.
