Asking price is not the same as selling price ...

$26K? Looks pretty nice. When I tear my car down sometime in the future, I won't be able to rebuild it for that price. But If I bought his car, I would miss out on all of the cursing, swearing, cuts and bruises....you know....the fun!!!!!!

Interesting that he says that one sold and he can build another in 120 days. Sandy Utah. Wonder if eric knows him.

The reason the price is 26k is because that is almost as much he has spent fixing it up. This is his "latest build"

Can anyone comment on correlation between value and
The originality of the car , can you put up 25 k for example
And get a chrome out 73 2.0/4 with low miles all original etc.

Or for 25 like the example on this thread ,flares , suspension,
Brakes ,2056 , etc ,

I bet the latter would be much more fun to drive but the former
Worth more depending on condition of course.



But example I got a really nice 1.7 for 5 k and when I go to a car
Show I always put up a for sale sign for 10500

Almost just to not have to worry about people asking if it's for sale
Or shooting offers at me

Local guy, has been buying up lots of cars, adding flares, restoring, and flipping for huge markup.

He's on this site as well

I know this guy. His name's Eugene. He's on my Facebook too. My consider if it had been a /6 conversion. Still pricey. But he stripped it and re-did it. And I LOVE the red interior. Looks nice.
