Given that you made no mention about frame rust or rot, birdcage rust or rot, brakes, suspension, function of lights or vacuum system, condition of engine with or without smoke...

...$5000.

Fiiine, I guess I do need details.

No rust or what from what I can tell. The frame was checked out by a local hot rod shop and they told me that it was fine also. The engine smokes a little on start up after sitting for a few days, besides that it runs nice and strong. It is an automatic. Everything else checks out okay. ^_^

I'd agree... $5K - $6K considering it needs a paint job, new seat covers, interior trim replacements, and I assume other TLC (at that mileage I'd guess that new ujoints and wheel bearings are probably in order, along with suspension bushings, ...).

Also, I'd suggest taking some better pictures of the interior and posting them in photobucket with the others.
