If you are a "newbie" and live in Pleasant Hill, Ca. You need to talk to some of the V-8 Club people who live in the area. Perhaps someone from the club will go with you to see the car and give you a second opinion. Don't jump in until you get some advice from people who "have been there". You might also talk with Brandon Flaner who owns East Bay Speed and Custom. He knows those old V-8s backwards and forwards and knows the value..
