Since he says its not for sale yet, it will go in the General section.
And that way I dont have to sanction the price criticism in a Sales Thread, AKA Interference.

40 year old metal usually shows a bit of rust. That looks pretty good.

A straight 1975 in decent shape and under 100k miles for $5k? Tell me where I can find 10 of them...
$8k-$10k is the low end of what people are asking for a car like that around here. And as far as I can tell they aren't getting talked down a lot from that. Most actually are asking in the $10k-$12k range, although I expect that the lower range is where cash talks to. An L82 or a four speed or a convertible they are asking more for... Anything C3 that is very much below $8k generally has some big issues.

Since we don't know it's in decent shape, I only offered my opinion. You certainly don't have to agree with it. In the Phila area, there are at least 5 in that price range and in that age bracket. Location is everything. Troll CL to find the wide spectrum of prices in your area and others...

Well... I'm not going to argue pricing with anyone. There are plenty within that $5-8K range around here, some under 100K miles:

http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/cto/5078483813.html
http://reading.craigslist.org/cto/5113113869.html
http://allentown.craigslist.org/cto/5127994083.html (yes, just over 100K, but just sayin')

http://easternshore.craigslist.org/cto/5071009230.html
http://jerseyshore.craigslist.org/cto/5101291010.html
And I'm sure there are more that I didn't find in my metro areas. Of course, not all of these are pristine, but the OP hasn't offered up any more information or photos to his initial post, either. So all of this is speculation until that happens. Of course, an asking price is just that... I'm sure many of the cars can be bought for less than what the listing is for.
