I will take ANY opinions on what this car should bring.....The more I can educate myself, the less dumb stuff I do ! I sorta like the No AC...sorta weird for a 74 ... and ... the last 454 model!

I may bid on it unless you folks think it is overpriced.

Thanks for any thoughts and opinions....don't beat me up too bad!

Over priced....if you shop you could find one cheaper.don't fall into the "I got a good deal because it was on ebay" syndrom.

I never trust a seller that can not put large photo's on ebay or one that sells for a friend. It's the last big block and it's a roadster, but I think the owner and seller have something to hide and at 15k it's risky without looking at the car. I noted what I can see from the photo's if you are interested.

Appears to be a mostly original car or amatuer fix up that will need a full resto to enjoy it. Owner might have been collecting parts (red hardtop) and lost interest.

The RH window might not work, because the window is up with the top down. I wouldn't put the window back up for pictures.
Pretty good engine oil leak.
LH 1/4 interior trim is broken, they are expensive.
Rear bumper appears to be pushed in or badly cracked (no rear view of car).
Front bumper has one crack showing.
Rear window is badly wrinkled for a new top.

Just my .02.
