After 28 years I am parting ways with my 1969 XR7 Convertible 351w Automatic it is in very good condition, mechanically , rebuilt engine, transmission, driveshaft, rear end. Runs and drives great. It is 80 % done or so ? Needs interior. It is worn the dash pad has been replaced. The frame and floor boards are great. That’s why I bought it. Paint and body look real nice. I call it a 10 foot paint job. If you look extremely close you can see it’s not perfect. Not sure what it is worth. I saw one sell for $135,000. So I would take that of course !!! Just like all classics I have invested $10,000 of thousands into the car.
Seriously I would think $22,500 ?
Maybe more . With the work that is needed to finish it.
I can send photos. Hopefully I can attach some to this post?

Arvada Automotive was my mechanical repair shop for 32 years until I sold it and retired 2 years ago. We did not do body work so … that’s why it didn’t get the 100% restoration. Would love her new home to finish her up… thanks

As of August 2025. I have had no interest from any buyers … so it is no longer for sale. I will be investing another several thousand dollars into her to make her even nicer!!! It is a great car !! I will continue to enjoy driving her. Get lots of looks and thumbs up !! Always fun. Hope everyone has as much fun driving thiers !!
Yeah, I need to sell mine… we just had a drought, school fees, council/farm rates, cost of living…bloody blah blah…. Just as I am thinking about life might be easier if I put it on the market… something fails… (currently roof motor is 50/50) I can’t afford to pay anyone to fix it…. So I have to find the time (that I don’t have) …. So I might as well drive her around ‘till-I-gettarountoit! …
Prob is… i enjoy fixing it and driving it around… so I have to wait until something else needs fixing so I can think about not selling it again…
Hi Ken, that’s a surprise! Good looking convertible, if I weren’t already hip-deep in a '65 Mustang restomod (among others) I’d have reached out. Look forward to seeing you cruise around North Denver!
I’m Doing the interior was the color okay from the factory for you. Was the colors mismatched? Mine is white a gold but has black carpet and console and pillars not gold? Any help please. Jimmy
