73 convertible
Found this one on Ebay and was wondering what people think. I notice it's got no bids and the ask is over $16,000. Are they asking too high? Is the color turning people off, maybe? It looks like a very nice original:

Oh, and drink a German or Austrian beer - you won't want the domestic stuff ever again.

This car is worth around 10K.

There's the typical corrosion around the tail lights to contend with. I'd also be willing to bet there's some more underneath the recess area for the top. I'd also be very interested in running a magnet around those fender well chrome pieces since those are notorious for having bad rust.
If it's an all original car with matching #'s, and an in-person review of the car proved there wasn't much more rust that what I see in the pictures, I'd be willing to give $14k for it. But not a penny more. It'll take $10k, minimum, to get it refreshed and show worthy. But the length of time it was owned by the second owner and the condition it's currently in tends to make me think there was more to the project than what he/she originally expected. So now they've sold it off.

Thanks, all, for your expert feedback.
One of these days I'll get around to buying a 73 vert. I just want a basic one with a V8 in good driving condition.
