    car is in great shape, has the 350-2 in it..problem for me is the interier is all brown...roof liner needs to be changed, couple cuts here and there...

    the paint on the car is horrid a cat barf gold, with an lsd inspired lightning bolt pin stripe...so if i get the car theres 2000 in paint right there...

    it has 42000 orignial miles on it, numbers match..3 speed auto.

    hes asking $9000 canadian, which i think is a bit high was thinking of offering $7000 with $7400 being a max offer.....

    what does everyone think? good price too high too low?

    I think even offering $7k is too much. If it just a Skylark Custom, that needs paint and interior work, not to mention possible engine work or just detailing,.....I would say $4000 would be a TOP dollar. I paid $3000 for a prime 69 Skylark Custom a couple years ago. I painted that car, (everything else was very nice and original) and sold it for $8000.00.
    Is there any rust on the floorboards? trunk? frame? Are there any seals leaking fluids? You have to account for all of that extra stuff. It's up to you,...... GOOD LUCK! :TU:

    Attached is a photo of my car before I sold it....I should have kept it,....
    Dang it anyway! :spank:
