what would you pay for a unrestored xw gt 69 model candy apple red no rust near perfect interier be realistic please would need repaint

[XWildGT]

here is a pic

90-100k is my estimate BUT it depends on a number of factors:

1) Is it auto or manual? manuals generally go for more than autos
2) Is it matching numbers with original engine?
3) Is the history known?
4) What options did it originally come with?

So, I'm guessing you've found one and are looking at buying? got any more pics?

Have at look at this for a similar vehicle advertised at 105K on amcs:

dude, he said no rust and near perfect interior - which likely indicates a fairly easy restore. 35-50K was probably the mark about 1-2 years ago - XW GT's are selling consistently around the 90-130K mark and XW GT HO's are 200+ and way more...

69 makes it a windsor too, so that reduces its value some what....

Manual = very good
Matching numbers = very good
No rust = very good

So whats the story - are you looking at buying it or is the owner a friend who's trying to wourk out what they should advertise it for ?

[XWildGT]

I think you're confused, the wheezor IS the boat anchor!!
Bathust victories were strictly the domain of the Cleveland, hence the premium paid for Cleveland GT's!

Good find mate, is it owned by a close friend of yours?

I'm a bit baffled by the price, If it's a good as you say it should be worth around the 100K mark as has been said.
It would seem as though these rarities either go for a steal when being sold by someone who has no idea of their worth or full market value as dictated by current prices.
This falls smack in the middle which doesn't make sense to me.
The owner seems to know it's worth big dollars by the raised value he puts on it but isn't going to sell it for what it's really worth which can be established with a simple call to AMCS.

I'm happy to stand corrected if i'm way off but if it's a genuine GT it's gotta be worth more than a restored replica XY regardless of engine

Thats how I remember Windsors. They ran out of puff around 5000 - 5500 rpm. Alloy heads have given them the legs they needed. Before that in Boss form they went well.

So the 1967 Bathurst win doesn't count??
haha.. firing up the anchor brigade is too easy - it's funny, even my mate with his XA GT calls clevo's anchors...just taking the p1ss of course... clevo's are ok, but I'll always prefer a 351W in an XW GT

windsor / cleveland ,

who really cares. If you want a fast car for this sort of coin i could think of some great cars to buy. and they would stop and handle a ship load better.
For me its not about how fast it is. I love to get into My GT and cruise with the sound of the clevo drowning out the sound of the kids fighting in the back .lol
but really for sound I would have to say the best sounding car i have is my windsor powered sierra. makes some heads turn for sure!

i know a guy who sold 69 silver fox unrestored for 70k

yer but what sort of condition was that in??
id have to think it would still look good and the engine would still go. just not perfect.

[johno9184]

was still in good condition. a car is only worth as much as some1 is willing to pay, and how bad they wont it.

[johno9184]

gt mock ups are advertised anywhere up to 30-40k.

[johno9184]

there's nothing wrong with a windsor. what colour is it called?

[XWildGT]

candy apple black trim

[johno9184]

awesome colour. what options did it come with out of factory?

[XWildGT]

seat belts front and back push button radio tint window will no more tomorrow

[johno9184]

how much they askin for it?

[dave351cid]

that candy apple in the XW GTs would have to be my favorite factory red colour i think. looks great.

[XWildGT]

Then its a car to keep. At that money your not over exposed if the GT market has a correction and you will always be in profit if you decide to sell.
You cant loose!

Bathurst stats play some part in that. The Clevo has the runs on the board.
