    CLASSIC AMERICAN MUSCLE! GRAND SPORT WITH 350 AND HAS ORIGINAL 4 SPEED SHIFTER. BEAUTIFUL CAR. RUNS AND DRIVES GREAT! ( I HAVE VIDEO OF HER RUNNING IF INTERESTED IN SEEING). THERE ARE 2 PLACES ON BODY THAT NEEDS NEW PAINT WITH LITTLE RUST. THE REST OF THE BODY IS EXCELLENT. INTERIOR IS EXCELLENT. INNER TRUNK NEEDS A LITTLE WORK. IT HAS ONLY 57K ORIGINAL MILES. COLLECTORS ESTIMATE THE LOW END VALUE AT $25k WITH CURRENT FEW NEEDS. SOME HAVE SAID WAY HIGHER; BUT I HAVE DONE ALL TO IT THAT I CARE TO AT THIS TIME. LOOKING TO OUTRIGHT SALE FOR $25,000 AS IS; OR WOULD CONSIDER TRADE OF SIMILAR VALUE. INTERESTED IN NICE JEEP OR MUSTANG.

    THANKS

    Why do some people think that paint and rust repair are trivial especially when asking a premium price ? ? ?

    If it needs ANY paint & rust repair then it isn’t “excellent “!

    Absofreakinloutely, drives me nuts!

    Would also be nice to see pictures of the actual rust and the trunk after seeing the misaligned trim,lenses and chrome looking like they were cleaned with 80 grit sandpaper I am sure they don’t look too damn good.
    Around that junky,broken trunk latch with rusted fastener, I can also see moisture bubbles in the paint (the next “excellent rust”).
    Very poor amateur restoration even from the pictures.
    Be lucky to get 20k for it AFTER dumping about 10k more in it.
    25k “or much more” he needs to pinch himself,dreaming.

    In a rare SUPER bad mood today so got to ask...what the hell is wrong with that drivers side bucket seat looking through the back window in picture #14? See how low it is sitting on the right side (follow the instrument cluster line compared to top of the seat & try and ignore the equally crappy seat recovering).
    I guess the biggest clue in the whole ad is absence of mention of an appraiser evaluation over his “collectors” who pumped him up on this cars value. Maybe he is just a real nice guy and they wanted to let him down easy even with that “gawd AWFUL” worlds ugliest steering wheel. Seen forklifts with prettier wheels lol

    Y’all are being too hard on the seller. For $2500 it ain’t bad. Sure, Helen Keller did the upholstery and some of the trim, but what do you expect for less than three grand?

    Oh, $25k? Decimal trouble again!!

    The seat driver's seat leans to the right cause his wallet is so heavy from Flippin cars to unmenolegibledumocated peoples.
