Clean or not, where is he getting a $20k price tag? Why are people asking super high prices for these cars? I see a lot of people looking at that NADA guide website and using that as a source of what the car is worth, but of course they're going off of the highest value listed. It's also a "guide", not an actual set price. Are people really paying these kind of prices? I wish people would come back to reality and be more realistic on pricing. Auctions and price guides don't dictate a cars worth, but I guess you can't get most to see that. This hobby is out of control, I could buy a bad ass Camaro for that much. lol |

I don't see the problem. When people put all original in the description, who are we to argue ?
I came to the conclusion several years ago that people who have no Idea on something's worth go straight to craigslist, search for something with the same name, and post it for the same price, and then get mad when someone comes by and lowballs the shit out of your precious ride.
Enough rant by me. If I don't stop now, i'll fool around and get on my soapbox

You don't see the problem? Hopefully that was sarcasm, but take a closer look at the car and look REALLY close at the fenders and tell me exactly what is "original" on that car. lol |

Clearly sarcasm was at play..... But what's wrong with the fenders? Could they not be "original", 1967, rare double bumber bracket fenders? Was a "PRO STREET transmission" an option in '67? |

There's a lot of those, apparently an average bug goes for $10k, regardless of the year or how many aftermarket parts it has. |

He already JUST missed his only opportunity this whole year to market that heap: Kelley Park. He'll have it and dreams of big money for a while. I wonder how he thinks that car is worth 10% of the value of his dad's car sitting next to it? _________________

LOOOOOL yea I smear the sarcasm on a bit thick. Only way I'd take that car is if it was given to me, or I spent less than 300 bucks
