Whatever you can get it for!

I once paid $500 for a VGC 70 1/2 Camaro because the owner thought the engine was locked up. Ended up only being the starter. Fixed it the same day and drove it over to his house. Man he was mad :lol: (it was my wife's cousin).

Go for it! '73 (chrome rear bumper) would be a steal, but still a good deal for the others.
