I wonder if he meant $3,500. even still, that might be a bit low.

I got some spare yen, since the dollar's headed south, wonder if he's detoxed enough to deal?

and who said rubber bumpers would never be worth anything?

I offered him $25,000. I feel like I'm stealing it at that price.

I had email contact with this seller. He honestly thinks he's gonna get $35K for this car. He doesn't seem to care that some great condition bumper cars cost less.

I'm gonna post mine for 34950 and I'll deliver. Fewer miles, and I don't park mine in the mud.

Hope he gets it.

I might of given him that amount if I was going NCRS Top Flight, but since it has the 8-82 rear clip that is a deal breaker for me!

Maybe this will help him see the light. http://springfield.craigslist.org/car/599494268.html It's right down the road.
But hey, if he can get that kind of money for his car, more power to him. And won't we look silly.

...the '75-'79 L-82s are starting to come into their own. Price seems reasonable. Hell, there are three '75 L-82s for $35K in the "C3s For Sale" area.
