Being a rookie.....I'm wondering if $1,200.59 would be considered "Lowball"?

As one who enjoys playing with fiberglass, I`m kinda digging the roof. I`d love to see how he did the "opera" windows. But that continental spare thing would HAVE to go, and a duck-tail type spoiler added for me.

This one has been for sale here for quite a while. I see the seller decided to crop the front end of the car out of the pics. The nose is REALLY bad looking.

The "Continental Kit" is the icing on the cake that's if you get past the rest of the mess including the rotted frame.

Pretty sure that interested buyers, if there ever are any, won't have to worry about a bidding war.

I always feel badly for a basket case that is so far gone its a few parts if that , yet a seller seems to think its almost gold in their asking price, wishful thinking or whiskey for breakfast?

Like jim and i have mentioned we dont hate the top but geez that cont kit is just so gross,

But we arent gonna go buy it, and its only one in about 1000 guys who might considered it if the price was very right, and its not even close,

I feel like im on some cyber version of candid camera,

Look, rusted out pos custom mods very few will like and wicked overpriced...
But Allen funt didnt jump out...

There is nothing wrong with the price. Nothing as in Zero. Take a Zero off the price and seller is getting close...

I’m sorry. That makes Greenwood Sportroofs look fantastic. That is just about the worst executed “custom” I’ve ever seen. I mean, a Corvette needs a Continental Kit? The extended roof, useless. At least the Sportroof gives some useful storage space. At this point, jack it way up and put some 24” Dubs on it and roll Compton...
