Default 3500.00 with no title?

http://poconos.craigslist.org/pts/4058021237.html
I actually went and saw this car. its a complete mess and only good for parts. Cryin' shame. I made him an offer on the the car but he wasn't havin' it. I even offered him a decent amount for the mirror tops but he did not want to part the car, And also said the tops are worth 1500.00. What do you guys think its worth? Some people thing they have gold.

Doesn't look terrible. But what makes him think it is worth 45k? We haven't even seen pictures of the interior.

I found this comment to be humorous....

"It was NOT in an accident. Left rear tire came off while moving it and tore the fiberglass."

Now I don't know about you, but if the tire falls off while you are driving I call that an accident. But look on the bright side, he is only asking $2900.

And I'm very sorry to say, though it's a '71, that car is NOT worth $2,900.

Agreed. Depending on what the engine bay looks like, maybe a $1000.

The engine bay was by far the best part of the car.

and being an ex o/o , i have to give credit where credit is due. that is a very sharp road tractor! back in the day we called that a chicken truck! gotta love that" 3406 b model 4 and a quarter cat with a 9 speed double over up against the daSH!" yeah ...BABY!!!! I almost wish i were driving down the big road again!
