I remember a few months ago you had it on ebay (right?). Can you refresh our memories about details (good/bad, rust, auto/man, etc.) here.

Extreme21

I went to the overall forum site and marketplace and saw the details. May help to copy/paste same info here so folks don't have to hunt for it. Good luck!

Yes i had it on ebay a couple months back but ended the auction early because of second thoughts on selling it.It needs a full resto to be a show car but i supose with some patching,paint,brakes and shocks it would make a pretty good driver.The LR 1/4 has some rust but i have a new 1/4 skin to go with the car also there will be a new LF fender and it already has a new hood on it.The ignition switch does'nt work and the battery is dead from some drain on the system.It needs some work but its still a good car.Here are some pics.Any questions call 256-654-7651 cell Matt

FYI, Parts Warehouse has new ignition switches for $14.95. Also, new batteries are not that expensive (try The Battery Store in Huntsville). You'll have alot better luck trying to sell your car if it's drivable and you don't have to point out as many shortcomings.

Also, is it an original bench seat car? It appears to have '65 style upholstery on the front bench seat.

No its not an original bench seat car i dont know who put it in there.
It was a white car from the factory with parchment and palomino interior and a 3 spd trans but now its red on red and an automatic.

Is $2850.00 to much?

IMHO, for a 6 cylinder with rust issues that can't be driven as is, you may have a hard time getting that price for it. I sold a nice, drivable V-8 manual shift coupe last year for $3700. The demand for 6 cylinder cars is just not very high - if you consider the cost of fixing the rust which would also entail a complete repaint, you're probably looking at $4-5K for a decent one. Then add brakes, interior, misc. and you're looking at over $10K (including your $2800 asking price) for a refurbishment (not even a real restoration) for a 6 cylinder coupe - you'd be hard preseed to recoupe your investment.

$2200.00???????? I fixing to ebay it.

ebay is your best bet, start around 2500 =, list everything you have done to it, it it does not sell ebay will let you relist it for free if you lower the price, the problem is your choosing a bad time to sell the car, right after xmas and newyears, valentines and taxes coming up,

best time to sell it would be april to july!

FYI, in your Ebay add you state, " I EXCEPT CASH ONLY."
This should actually read, " I ACCEPT CASH ONLY."

(Sorry, the technical editor in me couldn't resist...)

Even if you make an acception for PayPal?

mgreene

I guess if you "except cash" then you probably would make an acception for PayPal.
