Looks interesting, could be all original. It was listed as a 67; but it not.
Probably worth sometime looking at it in person.

To me, the price seems high for a plain jane convert. Wonder if the title has the year as '67 too ? That would be an issue.

If the undercarriage checks out, that may be a fair price. The last 2 69 converts I seen for sale were close to 10 grand. Almost priced nearly identical so it does appear within market. 69 convert bring decent money when they are complete like this one and its not a complete basket case.

Kind of agree Chris. Price depends on the frame, floors, and trunk pan conditions. Looks like front fenders and door might be good. You would just need to replace or repair the rear quarters. I think I might be tempted at $7500. Is an AC car, with maybe its original engine, tran, and rear axle?

Front fenders need patch panels behind the tires at a minimum. Once the scaled rust is removed from the floor pan, there will be pin holes and weak spots. Probably treatable with All Metal to seal and reinforce. The pic of the left door does seem to indicate good material. No pic of the right door makes me wonder if it is as good.
$7500 would be a good starting point, IMHO. I'm just not that attracted to convertibles to be willing to pay more for one. I guess to the right person, this may be a bargain. I would lean towards it having the born with drivetrain since it still wears original paint.
