interested in purchasing a 1969 Roadrunner 383 HT all original. Trying to justify onewers current owners price. How valuable is matching numbers considered in assessing asking price? Thank you

Matching is worth more within reason. Still just a 383. Hopefully has the 4 speed rather than auto.
Number of options, documentation ( build sheet, window sales sticker, etc), rust condition, paint, and interior condition. All top notch=top price.
Look on eBay, Hemings to see what some of these cars SOLD for, not asking price and see if the seller is close.

There are so many variables in buying a car with no quick answer to your question.
Over the years I've always said given two cars I lean towards the one that hadn't had someone else's fingers in it and would pay a premium for that car over market.
Never would by someone else's hotrod again too.
Of course the virgin cars that I could do something with myself are getting harder to find.
So, number's matching?
Would you want a car with matching drivetrain but body numbers that have been replaced with AMD or a non matching drivetrain with intact body numbers?

Makes them more collectable sometimes less drivable as in you don't want to hurt that numbers part.
