What's it worth; barn find
Back to forum once again; thanks for your help in advance:
Found a '75 Coupe, orig red/black; auto, PB, AC project car, details below:
-Good Strong motor, runs, idles well, decent comp, looks to have been rebuilt
-Good wheels(alum)/tires no checks, nice
-Interior decent, replace carpet, seats good, dash mostly good
Bad:
Lots of issues everywhere; name it, vaccuum, headlights, wipers, driver door sags, multiple gauges not working, tilt steering broke, ignition issues
-lots of surface and underbody rust, appears to be mostly surface, screwdriver test
-paints gone
-front and rear clips aftermarket relacements, rear is off a 78, I think
What's it worth? Owner thinks $4-5k; I'm thinking parts car, $2k

By what I have seen sell for $5000 I would bet the seller is not far off. There is always someone willing to take a cute orphan puppy home and feed it. He would have lots of takers to choose from at your price level or he can place the ad for retail & see who comes with a leash.
