Not a bad place to start. Reasonable price at the moment ($2500). The front clip would bring that.

Says automatic in the heading and 4 speed in the description...would you trust this guy? I'd want to see it and hear it. Hard to believe he can't get a decent offer in all of NYC ???

Don't know about that one but I do know where there is a 62 with hardtop and original hub caps sitting in front of an over-grown, weeded house. The paint is faded Roman Red and had been sitting there for at least 4-5 years. I talked to the owner and he said it was a NOM,4 speed car that he wants to restore but doesn't have the $$ He won't sell it so it sits outside under the sun or snow.

i gotta say i'm impressed with this guys honesty, at least as far as i can tell. car runs but he admits that virtually everything needs to be gone through. don't see that on ebay that often. hell, i've seen cars in that shape advertised in "excellent condition for it's age"!
wonder why he listed it as an automatic in the form section but stated it was a 4-speed in the decription.
