65 Cuda on a USED CAR LOT!

Not too high at all. To buy one and paint it would cost way more than $5000.
this may be true, but we have no clue if they even shot the door jams, trunk, underhood area or what drivetrain is in it. Hell, I wouldn't pay 5k for a car that has a bone stock slant in it at all, or a motor that smokes like a chimney.
