that's the way the cheapskates are 
I had a 62 sunroof project with a stripped down body and a reconditioned chassis including rebuilt front end, brakes NEW trans, painted, all done etc and I got beat down for asking $1200  And I had a title |
whats sad is i have it here in mass and rusty late bugs sell for 500 and rag clips sell for 5-800. this is an og car obviously needs pans and channels so i priced it at 1500. the car has a good 36hp has all the correct 60 parts and has 4 brand new 165r15 kumhos. i don't want to cut up a good car but i'm almost at that point |

I bought my '66 last year and paid $3000 for it. its in equal condition but mine has a 1600, and has the correct emergency switch. some people have to grand of a vision of what they thin there car is worth.

HM....You seriously bought this exact car for $1500 a year ago?!?!?
You did a good job cleaning it Dude 
Unfortunately YOU did all the work cleaning it and it's now worth $10.5K?!?!
I guess you really have to be mindful what people are asking these days for having conceivably done nothing 
What did you sell it for after fixing it up....if I may ask? |

Sellers are asking way too much for cars here in FL. I just want a pre '67 that isn't rotted out that I can play with and make my own.

I'm probably going to have to do that when it's time. I found some decent cars out in Idaho, fiancés family is Boise. Hopefully I can have someone on the forum help me out if I find a car far awAy inspect it for me.

Bragging aside- that car is pretty horrible. Hope you're planning on a 60% off sale. In running condition- it's $1500 car here in the NW. Maybe it's worth a little more in New England- but not factoring $1000 shipping. Anywhere else in the country- that car would and should be scalped and crushed.

Thanks for the input! If you have any running driving semaphore ragtops in your area for 1500 send me the info cause I'd love to buy it!

neither one adds up to $250 no matter how you calculate it

Especially since you can get one fully restored by Koch's for $50 more. |

Bus wheel is missing all the grooves so I would be scared of any resto he did on the batman wheel too

Someone apparently thought it was a cool look....they were mistaken.
