Someone got a pretty good deal.

That seems like a rather steep price for the condition. The only reason I can see for that price is IF it really is numbers matching. That is a 20k restoration in a shop.

I'm with Chris on this one. Appears to be a 98% untouched survivor matching numbers car with all the right documentation to back it up.

Yes, it needs a frame off restoration, but figure the $15K + the $20K, and it is still in the ballpark of what a numbers matching, documented, 454 car is going for these days.

But, to do it right you'd have to paint it the original color... which I wouldn't do. Sorry to those green lovers out there (and we know who you are!).

For someone who can restore it themselves, it's not a bad price... for anyone that has to pay for bodywork, they'd be upside-down on it quickly.

It does have the very expensive cowl induction air cleaner on it. Thats a big plus IMO.

LOTS of rust holes from what I saw. Needs floors, trunk, q-panel work, fenders and interior.

Well, ya got to love the color, but here I think the seller did well. If there is a POP and/or build sheet why not show them?

This car is no different then any Midwestern rust belt car. That would get 15K around here as well. There isnt too many original cars like this left anymore. Ive seen cars in far worse condition sell for a lot more and become show cars.
