Value of Butler built in '08?

Nice looking car. Unfortunately, this is a pretty bad time to be selling a Cobra as you probably know. More details are needed like what transmission, brake system, etc, but 2 things right off the bat that might hurt you. The hood scoop and the fact it has a Chevy engine.

$25-$30k if you are lucky?

Thanks for the feedback. Those are tough figures to hear. I'm open to any other thoughts/suggestions and will let everyone know what I end up selling her for.

Chevy engine? Not a problem for these cars as a significant proportion of Arntz/ Butler cars came with SB or BB Chevys from the manufacturer, and prospective buyers are aware of the Chevy heritage.

The scoop is somewhat oversized and squared off but with the engines being set so far back in these cars it is necessary to go oversize on the scoop to fit a worthwhile air cleaner. The traditional "notch" in the shroud to provide distributor clearance/ access appears not to have been done properly but otherwise the car seems to be well presented.

Genuine low mileage and overall good presentation should put your car in the $30-$35K category I would think. Butlers are an often overlooked make but they are a great car along with their Arntz predecessors. Be aware of the depressed market at present but don't let it go cheaply either! Perhaps advertising it on Cobra Country would bring it to a wider more discerning market. Pity you have to dispose of it but good luck with the sale.
