That's a very cool hot rod. I can see why you'd stand firm on your price. I'd be in touch if I were in the market for another. GLWS.

Live well,

Very cool car. Great color combination and cool roll bar. Don't take a dime less than your $25k price.

GLWS,

Steve

What year is the car titled as?

Didn't you have a nice yellow one that was almost identical? Very nice, I like it.

This one should easily sell at your asking price. Nostalgic race cars are always popular at car shows and cruise nights. Someone should get this as a fun driver!

That is a steal at 25k, any basketcase most times are listed for at least that if not more. Seldom do you see one listed for under 30k nowadays. It will sell.

I'm surprised this car has not sold yet. It is a nice car for the money! Maybe if you remove the engine and trans, rough the paint and interior up so it looks as though it has sat in a field for 20 plus years and then offer it as a "project", you will sell it quicker...

Possibly true. The negitive feedback I've recieved is all related to the lack of windows. People are scared they will get caught out in bad weather. This car won't melt, I promise. In fact we drove it in a sleet storm once. We actually look back on that fondly. I could point out that Cobras and Harleys don't have tops and folks somehow find a way to enjoy them. But for some reason they insist a Corvette must have a top and windows. I suggest not to drive it if the weather looks bad. Except for a couple of times that worked for me for 20 plus years.
