That's an open ended question, and one that is likely to draw some bloody stupid answers really.

The state of Aussie muscle car pricing is out of control at the moment. It's hard to say, but whatever the dealer pricing guide says would have to be the benchmark if selling.

One Million Dollars! :dr_Evil:

Seriously, coupe prices are forever rising, but the fact that it is a non Bathurst 302 Cobra, means that it will never be worth as much as a mint unrestored 351 Manual Bathurst Cobra...

Post some pics of it, so we can drool and get an idea of the condition.

if its a high quality restore with all the proper bits date matching, it may be worth $60,000-70,000 but as said before its only worth what people will pay. Personally i think the muscle car craze is starting to slow

I personally know of 2 sales of Cobra's in the last 6 months or so.
July, a 302 auto high quality resto went for $82K.
October, a 302 manual high quality resto went in the low $80K range,

July, #206 sold through Shannons in Sydney for $86K.

Last month there were 2 on e-bay:
#362 looked to be in reasonable condition. Final bid $65,100 reserve not met, has not been relisted.
#328 described as complete but needing restoration. Final bid $45,100, appears to have sold.

There was an EOI through the for sale section on this site, asking around $40K for one in pieces awaiting restoration.

Draw your own conclusions from this.
