Looks pretty good to me, Beyond what I can afford. This one will go pretty high, it looks like a high 3 maybe a #2 with a little touch up. (if you want a 49)

Not a bad car for the price and I like all the parts that come with it thats a bonus.

As the publication Cars and Parts rates vehicles on a 1-5 scale (one for fully restored, and five for the roughest), this car should rate a 2 or at the most conservative rating, a 3+.

this one is a mid three at best. Using OCPG rating this is a low three. It needs a lot of detail, it is not reliable. It needs a lot to restore. Paint needs redone, chrome is questionable at best, look at the rear bumper, detail to the engine, blackwalls, the rust in the inner fender, etc... this one would be best guess price, maybe 10K on a good day, parts, included.

You're right. And, it needs mechanical work too. Somehow I don't think the BIN button will seen any use on this one.

10K would be a deal for this car with the parts. Of course the owner does not see the reasonable angle we have just cast. This car is grade A gold and should sell for millions....

Although this car has a lot going for it, I can't get beyond the paint colors. Maybe white walls would help. For all we know, the parts may be crappy cast offs. I like his choice of trim rings, ribbed, just like mine. I'm sure this goldmine will get bids, it just won't sell.

Yes wide white walls would make the world of a difference to this car.

Bid to $4,900.00 so far.

Probably won't sell this time around. Its a good car the interior is near perfect and the rest is an easy fix.

I still can't past the color combo. Maybe a good buff and a set of white walls would help. That dorky steering wheel has to go too.

For the day that was cutting edge design....I like it...

Sorry, but I need a nice steering wheel and good hood design to look at while I drive. This car's steering wheel design is too dainty for a coffee drinker.

No way dude you have to look at it as rolling in art thats the way the piece was created you must change your perceptions to experience the car as it was intended in it entirety.

OK, Mr. Original, I'll do that when you remove your disc brakes and headers.
