I thought I would start a new thread for more affordable C1s & C2's. So many are priced out of reach of many buyers but there are cars still out there for those who like a project and have $50,000 or less to spend.

I notice they are all convertibles. four years ago, I bought my '66 s/b coupe for $40,000. but have since added about $25,000. to make it a nice driver.

Yes, fewer coupes. I think that in the 70s and 80s no US car markers were making convertibles so more C2 convertibles were spared because you just couldn't buy a new one and they were considered special. Just my theory...

C2 coupes tend to be more desirable than the convertibles. It will be harder to find one under $50k.
