Value of 83 trans am
Hello
I am looking to sell my 83 trans am roller. It needs a hood and core support bottom, also it needs some attention on the wheel wells. The fenders are repairable depending on fabrication skill level. The floors and frame rails are rock solid. Also has n-24 wheels and louvers. What would something like this be worth as a roller? I've gotten a few offers on craigslist I think they are trying to low ball me.
Thanks

The car is worth nothing.
The parts are worth a little. The offers you are getting are basically just for the parts you listed. Take what you can get or sell the parts yourself.

Whatever scrap price is in your area. Cars generally will get you 300-350 for scrap.
This is strictly my personal philosophy, but unless it is a pristine roller, I won't pay more than scrap price because I know that I will have to put time and money into it to get it driving.

Too many people think these cars unrestored are on par with 60-70's muscle car prices. If it is a roller only and needs no rust repair and all wiring is there and working $1000 max. If you have to welding in New panels or replace panels $500 is the most I would. If it has questionable wiring, large panels to replace, cracked glass or is missing interior whatever scrap price is is fair.
I looked at a "solid roller" last month , needed floor pan replaced, t top bar repaired, no useable interior and probably rewired and the guy wanted $1000 firm. I told the guy again what was wrong with it and the going price of scrap along with my offer and he said again he wanted $1000 and someone would buy it soon. Well a month later it's still for sale...... Wonder why...
