Default Counts Kustoms split window SEEKING ADVICE

Hi All, I was hoping I could solicit some opinions. Im looking at purchasing The Counts Kustoms SWC from this episode: https://www.facebook.com/HISTORYCountingCars/videos/split-window-corvette-flip/367714118503651/
I was hoping some of you with far more expertise than I have could offer some insight to value, etc.

Its a 300HP model, still garage kept in good shape. Matching numbers, 55K Miles

Thanks!

$55k? Is that correct, or a typo?

If correct it seems too good to be true. The video says it sold for $115k, and recent sales for good cars are more than that.

Is the car still in the same condition as in the video?

Sorry I wasnt clear...its 55k Miles...Car is still in the same condition as the video, driven a couple thousand miles since.

Would you think $100k is a fair deal?

For a nice 63 SWC $100K is not unreasonable.

100k with matching numbers in this market is clearly underpriced.

Id wonder what was up, to be honest. Hard to believe they would be uninformed on pricing.

CK Cars are not always what they are cracked up to be. I would inspect very carefully before proceeding with a purchase.

I'm in Vegas and been in their shop many times and seen many cars in person that have been cone. Some really well and some not so.

Ryan painted my 69 Protour Camaro about 10 years ago. $20k and it came out great. A friend of mine was/is the manager of the mechanical side of the shop.

What rubs me the wrong way is that they just HAVE to put their name on everything they do. Even if they sneak it in it will be on there SOMEWHERE.
