I fall the body work "is done" as he says and the car is complete it's probably a pretty fair price. It seems like alot of money up front but do a restoration and it will "nickle and dime" you to death, 
I'm into my 56 sedan for almost 10 grand now and still going (loving it though, not bitter)  and a vert is going to cost alot more when you have to source parts, which it sounds like he has done  Snatch it up and finish it
I'm scared to imagine what i'm going to spend restoring my 59 panel |

The ad says "Nothing is missing from this car" and it looks like the bodywork has been done and it just needs paint and assembly. Figure in another 5k to finish and you have a nice restored vert for about 20k

If all the parts are there and there's only "a little rust", that price is not bad at all. The back apron picture looks clean
Is that Iris Blue?

Now that you brought up all the other stuff it does seem to be a fair price.

I thought about the price too, it sounds high but if he has all the right vert parts its a good price. Body work is not cheap to begin with. Plus with a little time and effort it could really be a nice car.

I'm 26 so hopefully if we go at the same age I'll at least have it for 6 years. But that's not enough time to really enjoy a car like that!
I'll just have to buy my own someday hopefully!!
