I like the appraisal. 
Purchase price... $4500
Interior condition --- Excellent
Exterior condition --- Excellent
Could be a nice car if he got rid of the spinners, hood crap, orange fan, headlights... and about 1/3 of the reserve.

Yet another example of an "appraisal" not worth the paper it's written on.
Value based on the "market." What market is that, the supermarket??
$10k is too much.

Never ceases to amaze me how people think they need to "steal" cars when they buy them and need to perform a "rip-off" when they sell them. Nothing but the old burning of the candle at both ends.
Being an experienced real estate appraiser, I wonder what it takes to become a "bona fide" classic car appraiser? Looks like this guy got his license, if required, from a cereal box...and spent all of 30 seconds filling out that piece of paper.

This is only one of many ad's I have seen lately, where as, the asking price is simply.... astronomically over priced. Day after day I see these ad's and want to reply to the seller..."Are you NUT'S?", but you just can not do that. Its unproductive, and a waste of time. For the life of me, I do not know where these people get their price guide from....but you can bet its not from this planet.
