Week old paintjob and decals, big pics

how much could I sell this one for? The dots on the last pic is just the pearl effect of the paint.

It's difficult to say, because naturally there are a good deal of factors other than the paint. What's under the hood, what condition it's in, and how many miles (at least to me) are plenty more crucial in my purchase price than the paint.

But judging from paint alone, I would say 2k is fair as well. Of course, if you find another F-Body enthusiast who is specifically searching for a car like yours, obviously you can get considerably more.

Nice looking car.
A question, though -- on the driver's side pop up light, it reads PONTIAC - sort of faint, looks almost scratched in... not the word PONTIAC in orange below it. On the light itself - what is that?

102k miles. 3.1 v6. No mechanical problems, performance catconverter and dynomax muffler. I mean most of us know a lot about these cars but the average person would pay a little more if the car looks and runs good

Nice car. Mine looked just like that when I bought it 5 years ago. I think you could get $2000 VERY easily.

I don't know how ya'll can get any idea without knowing whats under the hood. If it's a 305 or better I would guess that he could get a little better that 2,000. Then again pics can be misleading, I could have taken a pic of my 80' firebird that probably would have gotten an estimate of atleast a grand but I sold it a few months ago for 500 and I'm not even sure it was worth that.

$2000.00 since it is just a base model.

I sold my 86 v6 Sport Coupe with new paint, redone interior, 105k miles for 2200.

If you have a place to store the car, I would wait til spring to sell it. F bodies aren't exactly winter cars.

I say $2000 since that's what I see them go for around here. I think location plays a part in the price, as more people around here (Oklahoma City) want a 3rd gen, than in my home town near Seattle.

Pardon my unattentativeness Since it is a 3.1 my guestimation would be around 2000 too, the body does look to be in really good condition.
