I contacted the seller about the car. It's being sold by a friend for the original owner. Some major cancer in the fenders up Front, not to mention a hole in the driver side heater box and a bad cv joint boot on the same side.

What do guys think it's actually worth?

So this guy still has this one forsale after like a year or so. Don't you think he would have atleast lowered the price a little?

There's no way on this earth that this rustbucket is worth anywhere near the $10,000 asking price....With that kind of rust it's worth not even half the asking price....A $10,000 car does NOT HAVE ANY RUST whatsoever!!! Evil or Very Mad

So he's owned and restored 18 SB convertibles but doesn't know how to post the year of manufacture? Maybe he forgot?

I fixed the ad title.

People forgetting to include the year in the title is VERY common.
I correct at least 3-4 ads/day.
I even put a little message on the Place Ad screen to tell people to do it and it didn't help.

Feel free to hit "Report" on any ad without a year in the title and I'll fix it
