Where you can find the blue book for a 67 Chevy El Camino What if body and interior has been redone however are not one to know about under hood it 350 engine tranny?

The Kelley Blue Book (KBB) website and the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) Guides website are the best places to find values for used vehicles like a 1967 Chevy El Camino. However, neither will give you a precise value without knowing the condition of the engine and transmission.

Here's why and what to do:

* KBB and NADA use condition as a major factor: These guides use a system to assess vehicle condition (e.g., excellent, good, fair, poor). Since the engine and transmission are unknown factors, you can't accurately assess the overall condition. An unknown engine could have major issues that would drastically reduce value. A rebuilt engine, conversely, could increase it.

* They start with the base model: They'll give you a starting point for a 1967 El Camino in "average" condition. But your car's value will adjust significantly based on the engine, transmission condition, modifications, and the quality of the body and interior restoration. A high-quality restoration will be worth far more.

To get a more accurate value:

1. Detailed photos: Take high-quality photos of the engine bay, transmission, and any other modifications.

2. Professional appraisal: The most accurate way to determine the value is to get a professional appraisal from a classic car appraiser or a specialist in classic Chevrolets. They will consider all aspects, including the restoration quality and the condition of the unknown mechanical components.

3. Check completed sales: Search online auction sites (like eBay Motors or Bring a Trailer) for recently sold 1967 El Caminos. Pay close attention to those with similar specifications (engine, transmission, restoration quality) to get a better idea of market value. Be aware that auction prices can vary depending on factors like bidding wars.

4. Use KBB and NADA as a starting point, but adjust accordingly: Once you have a better idea of the mechanical condition, you can use the KBB and NADA values as a general guide and then adjust up or down based on your findings. Remember that these sites will give you only a ballpark range.

In short, you need more information about the mechanical components before you can get a truly accurate valuation. The body and interior restoration are important, but the engine and transmission are crucial to determining the final value of your classic car.
