Default Opinions on this 74 LT

Price in line of (I feel) a little on the high side?
I wouldnt want to pay more than 5 topswhich I know wont go over with seller

Cannot tell if that is rust under the vinyl (where it meets 1/4 panel) which would be a deal breaker

Sure uncommon but imo not collectible. Thought bought right could make a cool driver left just as is (once 4 matching tires were had) lol

Maybe I am wrong and been out of the loop. opinions either way?

I have to wonder why there are no pics from the rear...maybe trying to hide something! Pic 6 appears to be showing a drooping headliner...hmm, is that an indication of something worse. At any rate, nothing special there and not particularly collectible. Man, if it was a split bumper 70 or 71 Z, I'd be all over it. All in all, the car doesn't look bad from the pics though.

Might be worth a look at that price, if it's your cup of tea. However, it sounds like you want a '67, so don't sell yourself short as there are some out there for 20 to 25 that need a bit of TLC and might fit the bill...I'd keep looking if I were you. JMHO!

Something up top where that top starts doesnt look right, it is rust below
Cant deal with it top too goofy for me, gonna take advice and pass on it.
If it was std top no rot maybe 4 something hes not budging
Figured if bought right i could drive it til I scratched the itch then flip into something else.

have some collector coming to look at mine weekend after next well see
If he wants to part with the money Ill pick up another 67....plus it will give me enough for a down on a home.
Really dont feel lik selling it but the prices on cars are coming down should take it while I can.

The car in the listing is clean just doesnt speak to me nfw and I dealing with pulling an interior apart just to fix a little rot btdt car isnt worth it.
Wish people would be more upfront and just say it rather than hiding it....like you wouldnt see it in person but thats Craigslist. Bottom of the barrel.
Thanks all.

With respect to F-body headliners, most ALL of them droop after a few years. I had 3 F-bods, over the years, a '77, an '85, and a '96. I had to replace the headliners in the '77 and the '96.....

Got the "this car isnt for you" response after inquiring about rust
Lower rockers gone too. Least I didnt waste my gas.

Nothing like being up front...this hobby seems to be about money to too many these days. Who would pay that much for something that needs gutting?
