I agree - the starting bid is a bit strong.

They're dreaming. It could also be that the spouse said "sell", so the owner is "trying" to sell. ;)

Hmm, 5k???? the rolling chassis is worth approx. 2200, and if the body is straight with no rust it will fetch around 2000.00. I'd offer 2500.00.

Man - that's gonna be tough to get home with no wheel or tires, either.

It's definitely worth 2.5k at most.

New duel exhaust? Those look like the big heavy cans I pulled off of my 74 vert.

I think $2500 mentioned above sounds fair.

Paint it and fetch another 5K. :lolg:

So seriously, what does $4200 Canadian dollars translate as?

As for this ebay car, its not even worth 2k in my opinion. Unless of course he goes out and buys all the replacement parts, AND delivers it to your house.

"Not many convertibles left. "

For $5k there are a LOT of nicer verts than that one!

$500 maybe. $5000? :lolg:
