Rhinodart knows A-bodies and particularly 383 A-bodies very well. He is at Barrett Jackson and looked at this TX9 383-S in person.
So this is what he has to say about the car:
Soooo....
The car is even worse in person. Just because some idiot possibly* bought this piece of junk for $55K, it does not mean you could sell a much nicer 69 383-S for that money.
*possibly: Because the owner could have bought this car back. So then he could advertise it as "selling" for $55K and taking a discount at $45K for a car really only worth $25K. That would net a $10K extra mony over market price including the $10K buyers and sellers fees.
