What to sell this classic land yacht for???

Hey ODTers, I have been tasked with selling my friends 1972 Buick Electra 225. I will do my best to answer any questions about the vehicle or can possibly put you in touch with the owner depending on his schedule. It has 1971 heads, 128k original miles, all original 455 drive train, ice cold AC, true duals with flowmasters, a edelbrock carb and aftermarket ignition. It has extra trim pieces and original parts in the trunk. At some point it had a Maco style paint job and it does have some body filler in parts of the rear quarters. Honestly It’s pretty fun to drive and makes nice mechanical big block music through the exhaust. Obviously needs attention aesthetically but interior is pretty sharp and can only assume that was redone at some point. I will update post with more pics soon. Big question is what would you ask for it? I want to get it sold for my buddy in a timely fashion!

I put 8500 on it tentatively after looking at national classifieds. I have no clue if that is even in the wheel house though!?!? Any thoughts?

I was gonna' say $7,500 with the body issues but who knows. Float it out there.

Ignition and AC components, gotta check the belt, squeals like a stuck pig when AC comes on but blows ice cold and compressor rotates smoothly and no issues with clutch. Guessing bad belt tension or pulley is effed up…

You should easily get $5.5-7k+. Expect it to be donked out.

Somebody would have to spend atleast 25k to get it to donk status, just to destroy the tranny in 6 months.

So what your sayin is throw some “twankies” on it and ask 10k!?
