Looking at buying a 1966 TBird 390 V8, Automatic 97,000 original miles
New Chrome & repaint, straight, clean body, new vynl hardtop
Interior very nice
A/C compressor missing
Non original Steering wheel
Everything else is original

looks to be over all in great condition
What do I look for and what is it worth?

Without some detailed pictures, it is difficult to give an opinion on this car.
Can you post some pictures?

I guess I would be asking: Is it a running, driveable car?

Anything that you would look at with buyin a used car? Does everything work? Is it in good shape, does it look like its going to need anything, whats original, whats replaced, and does the work on the car look like its been done properly, or has it been hacked up? And as far as value goes, its kinda the beauty in the eye of the beholder thing. If you want a dollar value, might want to ask an appraiser. Its persptive. I got a rotted out truck sittin out side that aint worth more than scrap, but the memories are priceless, and that what makes it worth something to me. Got what I'm sayin my flairbird friend? Good luck with the car and hope to see pics of it up.
