Get $4,000 in $100 dollar bills and show him the cash and tell him that's your best offer...

if you do that, keep one eye open for the shotgun and be ready to run!

"run Forest run"

There are still a lot of people around here that get very insulted if you seem to think a wad of cash will impress them or change their minds.I don't get insulted,I just say,no thanks,not enough.I just saw the owner of a salvage yard toss somebody out for making an offer of half the asking price.It was an old plow truck,and the guy looking at it was trying to tell the owner that it was springtime and the truck was only worth half what he was asking.I've never been moved by the sight of a roll of money,it's just moldy old paper.I've had a lot of people wave it around thinking that the sight of it would excite me into dropping my price,It hasn't worked yet.

For those of you who think the car is worth the $7500 for $2500 more I'll put you in mine.

A little perspective:
Paid $3500, no interior, no brakes, engine did not run but rotated, no electrical, missing glass, no title, car full of trash up to the window sills ...

What I found: Very little surface rust, no major cancer. Engine freshly re-built (very early '60's) but never ran more than a few minutes. All new brakes, but never hooked up. Body was removed and the frame cleaned and painted, new roof and wood (very early '60's), New clutch, clean gas tank, rebuilt ******, (all very early '60's)

PO did a lot of work his Family did not know about, PO never finished it, stopping in 62-63...and there it sat for the next 53 years...waiting for me.

Sometimes you have to take the gamble, but don't bet the rent money and hit on 18.

That would be a much better deal than paying $7500 for the other one that needs a lot of work.

Yes! As my beloved uncle Stumbatzo told me just before his liver exploded and then keeled over dead. . . He said, "Money talks and bullsheet walks".

The bare-bones body previously mentioned sold on eBay for $5200. There were 6 different bidders who bid more than $4000.

I saw that one on Instagram. I went by today and the coupe was gone from what I could see.

Hot rodder won. I got to asking around to see who bought the coupe. I found it and this is how it looks as of the other day.

This is the one thing I predict the most,and the one thing I am right about the most.All the picking apart,making offers,pointing out how much it needs,means nothing.The rodders will step up and buy it.I can only speak for my little section of country,but they have clobbered most chances of old car guys getting a bargain.These are two A's that I tried to save from rodding,I bought both,at different times,hoping to keep them original.The coupe was solid and absolutely rust free.It had a Sears reman engine sitting in it,but was never hooked up.The sedan was a solid nice running car,but nothing special.I sold each car to rodders,each one brought $8000.Just what I had paid to save them.The sedan was the best deal,the buyer gave the new LeBaron interior and wheels/tires back to me.I'm supposed to get the engine too.

My dad just paid $12K for this Coupe. Nice older resto and 100% ready to go.

 

[Garagekulture13]

The rodder paid full price without hesitation.

There are plenty out there in better condition for equal or better money with your name on it.

I still believe you would have made a mistake by buying that specific car at that price.
